Overview
- Netflix will discontinue app support for the original Fire TV box, Fire TV Stick (2014), and Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote (2016) starting June 2, 2025.
- Impacted users have been notified via email, with Netflix citing usage data to identify those affected.
- The transition is driven by advancements in streaming technology, including the adoption of the AV1 codec, which older devices cannot support.
- Amazon stopped providing software and security updates for these first-generation devices years ago, further contributing to their obsolescence.
- Users are encouraged to upgrade to newer streaming devices, such as the Fire TV Stick 4K or other compatible platforms, to maintain access to Netflix.
