Netflix Kills Mobile Casting for Most Devices, Shifting Viewer Experience
- •Netflix has quietly discontinued its long-standing mobile casting feature for a wide range of smart TVs and streaming devices.
- •The change means users can no longer cast content from their Android or iOS Netflix apps to most modern smart TVs and streaming boxes.
- •Casting now only works on limited hardware, such as older Chromecast models without remotes and Nest Hub smart displays.
- •The feature was a core part of many users' viewing routines, offering convenience, shared control, and easier content search.
- •Users must now rely on TV remotes or built-in Netflix apps for playback, signaling a shift towards a device-centric viewing experience.
Why It Matters: Netflix has removed mobile casting for most devices, forcing users to adapt to on-device navigation.
