Which subscriptions are being discontinued?
Last week, Netflix started terminating many subscriptions taken out between 2015 and 2018. This does not concern all subscriptions that were taken out at the time, only if you created an account via the iPhone or iPad app.
Why are these subscriptions stopped?
The fact that these Netflix accounts are being terminated is due to a conflict between the streaming service, Apple and other tech companies. Apple made money from these Netflix subscriptions. It goes like this:
Because the subscriptions in Netflix’s iOS apps have been closed, you use Apple’s payment system. Your subscription fee was then collected monthly by the App Store, which forwarded it to Netflix. Apple charged a 30 percent commission for this. And Netflix disagrees.
That is why Netflix stopped the option to take out a subscription via the iPhone and iPad app at the end of 2018. Now they have started canceling these subscriptions. You will be informed of this by email.
How do you get your account back?
Have you received such an email and do you want to get your account back? This can be done by linking another payment option, such as your credit card, to your account. Your subscription will then become a bit more expensive, as you paid slightly less than the current subscription price.
