Netflix rolls out redesigned tvOS app for Apple TV 4K

Overview

  • Netflix v3.0 is now available on Apple TV and Apple TV 4K, closing out a redesign that began on other platforms in May.
  • The legacy left-hand sidebar has been replaced by a top menu bar with shortcuts to Search, Home, Shows, Movies, Games and My Netflix.
  • A content-first home screen showcases larger, information-rich cards tagged with labels such as “Recent addition” and “#1 in TV Shows” to clarify recommendations.
  • Version 3.0 requires tvOS 17 or later, and some users must manually update the Netflix app via the tvOS App Store to access the new interface.
  • Early adopters have praised the cleaner layout but criticized non-disableable scrolling and click sounds and other changes to familiar navigation.
