NETFLIX: August 8, 2024 end date for old 2011 Ipad 2. Can't use Netflix anymore.

As the title suggests... netflix sent an email stating that old ipad 2 from 2011 will no longer be supported on netflix app.
NOTE ipad 2 uses ios 9.
Some of you who have ipad 2's probably can't even log into netflix now.

I know.. it's time to retire it! My 3 year old still uses it to watch youtube kids. Still on the original battery!?

These old ipad 2s are fun to downgrade to ios 6 and use for older retro games

[@angrymathdude]

Oh wow. iOS 6 is old. What retro games are worth it to downgrade to iOS 6. I’m on 9 and worried doing something like this would brick the iPad

[@breakinggames6356]

@@angrymathdude belive it or not most times it wont brick your device the first step you could take depending on the storage capacity is ota downgrading to ios 8 which has a permement jailbreak and then boot into whatever version you want but in my case I have a ton of games that wont work on ios 7 or later due to certain system changes which has led me to downgrade quite a few back to 6 and makes them feel snappy and there is a fix for the youtube apps on ios 6 and a alternate app store with games you cant even get anymore or even knew existed at the time

It's an end of an era

[@angrymathdude]

Was really hoping to use this iPad on Netflix until it died. 13 year run on old tech ain’t too bad

[@LKNL13]

I wonder if you can jailbreak it and work around it

[@angrymathdude]

I'm not sure.. most jailbreaks allow you to go to older ios... usually not newer ios.
I believe.. .on the ipad 2.. installing netflix isn't the big issue. the underlying issue is that netflix will block it from their side (ie probably not allowing you to log in at all).
But maybe it is possible to add a jailbreak and for someone to slightly modify entry to Netflix so that it makes it appear you're running a newer IOS/netflix version.
Still that would make me wary abit.. knowing things like that were modified (possible hacking into your account,...)

Can’t use it in safari?

[@angrymathdude]

@@blasegangbeats1865 definitely can’t use it in safari. I used this for one of my kids.. but it’s time to upgrade. Still I can use CZcams kids.
Safari might work with CZcams desktop mode.
