Netflix and Apple TV Integration: A Temporary Glitch
This morning, several Netflix subscribers in the United States encountered Netflix titles appearing in the “Continue Watching” section of the Apple TV app. This unforeseen occurrence sparked discussions regarding a potential integration between Netflix and Apple’s platform.
However, it has been clarified that this display of Netflix content within the Apple TV interface was merely a glitch. A representative from Netflix informed The Verge that this unintended support for the “Continue Watching” feature has now been reversed.
Continued Independence from Apple TV
Unlike many prominent streaming services, which have embraced collaboration with Apple’s ecosystem, Netflix remains one of the few that opts against offering robust integration with the Apple TV app. The company champions allowing their users to curate and explore their viewing choices solely through its application.
The Lack of Content Tracking Integration
Historically, Netflix has not taken part in integrating with Apple’s native content tracking systems. Consequently, those who utilize Apple devices cannot track their favorite films and series from Netflix within their watchlists or through any unified interface on Apple’s platform. While users can manage shows from services like Apple TV+, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Amazon Prime Video among others seamlessly via their watchlists in the Apple TV app—even across various devices—this convenience does not extend to titles offered by Netflix.
