1. Retry The Payment

A failed charge is often the result of a brief technical glitch on your side or on Netflix. Trying the payment again usually clears the problem. Follow these steps to retry:

1. Open the Account page and find the Membership and Billing section.
2. Look for the message that mentions the failed payment attempt.
3. Select the option to retry the payment and confirm the charge.

If the failure was temporary, the transaction will succeed and service will resume. If it fails again, confirm that your card number, expiry date, CVV, billing name, and postal/zip code exactly match what your bank has on file. Mismatched information is one of the most common reasons for payment declines.

2. Check Your Bank Account Status

Banks can pause online charges if an account is dormant, under review, or if certain merchant categories are restricted. When that happens, Netflix cannot complete the charge.

Open your bank application and confirm the account is active, online payments are allowed, and international transactions are enabled if you are paying across regions. Also check for alerts, daily spend limits, and pending security verifications such as an OTP that you need to approve.

If you do not use a bank app or the account shows a block, call the bank helpline and ask them to allow recurring charges for Netflix. It is also useful to ask specifically:

• Is my card expired or close to expiry?
• Are recurring or subscription charges enabled?
• Are international payments allowed?
• Is there a fraud hold or spending limit that needs approval?

3. Change Your Payment Method

Sometimes the problem is tied to the specific card or wallet you are using. Switching to a different card or payment option removes that variable and often resolves the error. Update the payment method as shown below:

1. Log in to your Netflix account in a web browser.
2. Click your profile icon and choose Account.

   

3. Under membership details, click Manage Membership.

   

4. In the new tab, select Manage payment method.

   

5. Choose Add Payment Method and enter the new card or wallet details.

   

6. Make sure the account has enough balance so the monthly subscription can proceed.

If you use a virtual or prepaid card, confirm that recurring online payments are allowed and the card limit covers the subscription amount. You can also remove the failing method and re-add it, or set up a backup method that Netflix will charge automatically if the main one fails.

4. Verify Country and Disable VPN/Proxy

Your payment method must match the country where your Netflix account is registered. If you recently moved, Netflix requires you to restart the account in your new country with a local payment method.

Also make sure you are not using a VPN or proxy. These can make it seem like you are in a different region and cause payment rejections. Disable the VPN or proxy, refresh the page, and retry the payment.

5. Complete 3D Secure or OTP Verification

Many banks require you to approve subscription charges with a one-time password (OTP) or in the bank’s app. If the verification pop-up does not appear, the payment will fail. To fix this:

• Allow pop ups in your browser.
• Try completing the payment in a private/incognito window.
• Keep your phone nearby to approve the charge in your banking app.

If none of the fixes have worked so far, the best next step is to reach out to Netflix directly. Head over to their official support page and explain the problem in detail. To make things easier for the support team, have this information ready:

• The exact error message showing on your screen.
• The last four digits of the card you are trying to use.
• Your billing country or region.
• The time and date when you last attempted the payment.

Sharing these details upfront helps them understand the issue without back-and-forth questions. In most cases, the support team can quickly see what went wrong on your account or through the payment gateway and guide you on the exact steps to get your subscription running again.

As a temporary solution, you can redeem a Netflix gift code to restore your service while you fix your card issue. Adding a backup card or payment method is also recommended, so Netflix can switch to it if the primary method fails.

Now that you know what each error means and what causes it, let’s move to solutions.

1. Restart Your Device

The first step recommended by Netflix is to restart your device. A full restart clears temporary data and refreshes system resources, which often resolves playback issues like Error 5.0, 5.7, 5.8, or 5.10.

1. Hold down the Power button on your device.
2. Select Restart (or Power off, then turn it back on).
3. Open Netflix again and try playing a video.

2. Switch to a Static Wallpaper (Android Only, Mainly for 5.8)

Some Android users have reported that live or animated wallpapers can interfere with Netflix playback and cause Error 5.8. While this may not affect all devices or other 5.x errors, switching to a static wallpaper has resolved the issue for many.

1. Go to your device’s Settings and open Wallpaper & style.
2. Select the wallpaper settings and browse available options.
   
   
3. Choose any static image provided by the device or your own.
   
4. Apply the selected wallpaper to both the Home and Lock screens.
5. Launch Netflix again and check if the error is resolved.

3. Reinstall the Netflix App

If restarting doesn’t help, the app itself may have corrupted or incomplete data. Reinstalling ensures a fresh installation and clears potential conflicts. This step is especially effective for codes like 5.7.1, 5.7.6, and 5.10.

1. Open the Google Play Store and search for Netflix.
2. Tap Uninstall and allow the process to finish.
   
3. Press Install to download the latest version.
   
4. Once installed, open the app and sign back in.
5. Try streaming again to confirm if the error is fixed.

4. Update Your Device

Outdated system software may also contribute to compatibility issues across multiple Netflix error codes. Updating ensures your device runs the latest fixes and performance improvements.

1. Go to Settings > System > Software Update.
2. Check for updates and install them if available.
3. Restart your device after the update, then test Netflix again.

After trying these solutions, most Netflix Error Codes 5.x (5.0, 5.7, 5.7.1, 5.7.6, 5.8, 5.10) should be resolved. If the issue persists, you can contact Netflix Support for further assistance or try the browser version of Netflix instead of the app.

The post Fix: Netflix Error Codes 5.0, 5.7, 5.7.1, 5.7.6, 5.8, 5.10 appeared first on Appuals.

It’s important to understand that this error is directly tied to Netflix’s regional policies and security measures, so it cannot be permanently “fixed” by users. However, the following methods may help you temporarily work around the issue or resolve it with Netflix support.

1. Use a VPN Service

One of the simplest workarounds is to use a VPN service, which allows you to appear as if you are accessing Netflix from an eligible location. Once signed in successfully, you can disable the VPN and continue using Netflix as normal.

Note: If you are already using a VPN, try switching to a different location or temporarily disabling it to see if that resolves the error.

1. Download a reputable VPN from the Play Store or App Store.
2. Enable the VPN and select a location where Netflix access is allowed, then launch the Netflix app.
   
3. Sign in to your account and check if the error is resolved.

2. Contact Netflix Support

If the error persists, the most reliable approach is to contact Netflix Support. Location-related account restrictions are often specific to your account and region, so Netflix may require you to verify your details, such as your registered region or payment method. Once your information is confirmed, their team will guide you through the next steps to restore access.

This error usually indicates an intentional restriction by Netflix, so while the above methods may help you regain access temporarily, the final resolution often depends on Netflix’s verification and policies.

The post Fix: Netflix “Your Account Cannot Be Used in This Location” Error appeared first on Appuals.

A Netflix Household includes all devices connected to the internet at a specific location (typically your home) where Netflix is regularly used. Any device using your account on the same network as your household’s primary TV is automatically recognized as part of your Netflix Household.

The most common causes of this error include: using a different Wi-Fi network, streaming on mobile data, another person accessing your account, VPN or proxy usage, or an improperly configured Netflix Household.

Now that you know what triggers the error, let’s explore the solutions.

1. Turn On Airplane Mode (For Mobile Devices)

You can temporarily bypass this error on mobile devices by enabling Airplane Mode before opening Netflix. This works because Netflix uses IP addresses to verify household locations, and Airplane Mode interrupts this check.

When you reopen the app in Airplane Mode (offline), it clears the cached location data and provides a fresh session, allowing temporary access to your account.

1. Open the Netflix app and go to your profile.
2. Turn on Airplane Mode and disable Wi-Fi.
3. Close the app completely from the background.
4. Reopen the app, disable Airplane Mode, and turn Wi-Fi back on.

2. Use a Phone/Tablet with HDMI Connection

If the error only appears on your TV but not on your phone or tablet, you can bypass it by streaming through your mobile device connected directly to the TV via a USB-C to HDMI cable. In this case, Netflix recognizes your mobile device as the active player, avoiding the household restriction.

1. Connect your phone or tablet to the TV using a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
2. Open the Netflix app and log in to your account.
3. Change your TV input to the connected HDMI source.

Note: Your mobile device will not charge while connected. Ensure it has enough battery before starting.

3. Search for the TV Show/Movie Specifically (PC and Mobile)

Another workaround is to search for the specific TV show or movie in your browser instead of directly opening the Netflix app. This helps bypass the stricter verification process enforced by the app.

Searching for a title along with the word “Netflix” (for example, “Stranger Things Netflix”) generates a direct content link. When you click this link, Netflix often prioritizes loading the requested content over verifying your household.

1. Close the Netflix app completely.
2. Open your preferred browser on your computer or mobile device.
3. Search for “X Netflix” (replace X with the TV show or movie title).
4. Click the Netflix link in the search results.
5. Select your Netflix profile to start watching.

If none of these methods work, you may need to update your Netflix Household settings and add the new device or profile as part of your household.

These problems are typically caused by issues like a poor internet connection, an outdated Netflix app, temporary glitches, or corrupted cache data. In some cases, server-side issues may also prevent Netflix from streaming on your TV.

Before applying the solutions below, restart your Wi-Fi router and check the Netflix server status. If the servers are working fine, try the following fixes.

1. Clear the App Cache on Your TV

Clearing the Netflix app cache removes corrupted temporary data that may cause long loading times, app freezes, or login problems. This forces Netflix to reload fresh data and often resolves streaming issues.

1. Go to Settings and select Apps.
2. Find Netflix in the list of installed apps.
3. Click on Clear Cache and press OK to confirm.
4. Reopen Netflix and check if it’s working.

2. Perform a Hard Reset on Your TV

A hard reset clears your TV’s RAM, stops background processes, and refreshes its network connection. This can fix temporary glitches or freezes that interfere with Netflix streaming.

1. Unplug your TV’s power cable from the wall socket.
2. Wait for at least 60 seconds. For a deeper reset, press and hold the power button on the TV for 10–15 seconds while unplugged (if supported by your model).
3. Plug the TV back in and turn it on.
4. Open Netflix and check if it’s working.

3. Update TV’s Firmware

Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues with streaming apps like Netflix. Updating your TV ensures it runs the latest system software, fixing potential bugs and improving app stability.

1. Go to Settings on your TV.
2. Navigate to System or Support (depending on your TV brand).
   
3. Select Software Update or Check for Updates.
   
4. Download and install any available updates.
5. Restart your TV and check if Netflix works.

4. Log Out from Netflix then Login Again

Sometimes, expired or mismatched session tokens can prevent Netflix from working. Logging out and logging back in refreshes your session and resolves these issues.

1. Open the Netflix app.
2. Go to Settings or scroll down to Get Help.
3. Select Sign Out and confirm.
   
4. Restart the app and log back in with your credentials.

3. Reinstall the Netflix App

Reinstalling Netflix removes corrupted files, fixes misconfigured settings, and ensures you’re using the latest version.

Warning: Reinstalling may log you out of Netflix and erase any saved preferences or downloaded content.

1. Go to the App Store on your smart TV.
2. Search for Netflix using the search bar.
3. Uninstall the current version (if required by your TV model).
4. Reinstall the Netflix app.
5. Open the app and sign back in.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, contact Netflix Support or your TV manufacturer’s helpline. They can provide advanced troubleshooting steps specific to your device.

1. Clear Netflix Cookies and Cache

Corrupted cookies or cached data can prevent Netflix to load properly. Because the Netflix app uses Edge’s framework, clearing your browser cache often resolves the issue.

1. Open your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
2. Navigate to the browser’s Settings and select Privacy and Security.
3. Click Clear browsing data and check both boxes: Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.
4. Set the time range to All time to ensure everything is cleared.
5. Click Clear data to finish.

Restart your browser, log back into Netflix, and check if the error is resolved. This simple fix works for most users!

2. Update or Reinstall Microsoft Edge

The Netflix app depends on Microsoft Edge’s technology (EdgeHTML) to function. If Edge is outdated, uninstalled, or glitching, you’ll see errors like H7053-1807.

1. Open Microsoft Edge. If it works normally, skip to step 3. If not:
2. Visit the Microsoft Edge download page. ⇛ Download and install the latest version.
3. Click the three-dot menu (top-right) in Edge. ⇛ Go to Settings → About Microsoft Edge to trigger updates.
4. Disable ad-blockers, VPNs, or antivirus tools in Edge temporarily.

3. Install or Repair Edge WebView2 Runtime

The Netflix app uses the Edge WebView2 Runtime to display web content. If it’s missing or damaged, Netflix will not load.

1. Visit the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime page.
2. Download and run the installer to repair or install WebView2.

4. Reset or Reinstall the Netflix App

If the error persists, resetting or reinstalling the Netflix app often does the trick:

1. Press Windows + I to open Settings.
2. Go to Apps → Installed Apps and find Netflix.
3. Click Advanced options → Reset.
4. If resetting fails: ⇛ Uninstall Netflix. ⇛ Reinstall it from the Microsoft Store.

5. Enable Essential Microsoft Edge Services

Netflix relies on background Edge services to work properly. If these are disabled, here’s how to enable them:

1. Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.
2. Locate these critical services: ⇛ Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate) ⇛ Microsoft Edge Elevation Service

1. Right-click Microsoft Edge Update Service → Properties.
2. Set Startup type to Automatic and click Apply.
3. Repeat for Microsoft Edge Elevation Service.

Additional factors contributing to this issue could include corrupt app data, connectivity issues, expired user sessions, and VPN usage.

Quick Note: We recommend performing a quick device reboot, as this is helpful in sorting out temporary glitches. Additionally, connecting to a different network temporarily to access Netflix, then switching back to the primary network, could also serve as a viable solution.

1. Check Internet Connectivity and Server Status

A stable internet connection is required for Netflix to function properly. Internet disconnection and slow speeds can prevent Netflix from connecting to its servers. Server outages or maintenance schedules could also prevent Netflix from loading properly. Although downtimes are typically brief, verifying that the servers are up and running is necessary.

1. Open your browser and navigate to the speed test webpage, then click on the GO button to begin a bandwidth test.  
   
2. If your internet connection is not functioning properly, consider restarting your router. Additionally, if you are using a Wi-Fi connection, moving your device closer to your router can improve connectivity and stability. If the issue persists, try resetting the router or contacting your Internet service provider.
3. To check whether the Netflix servers are up and running without interruption, navigate to Netflix’s Down Detector webpage.
   
4. For prior information about server maintenance and outages, you can also check Netflix’s official server status webpage and social media pages. 

2. Disable VPN

Netflix blocks users from accessing the homepage or content when they are using a VPN, as it offers region-specific content. If a user is already on the homepage or streaming and connects to a VPN afterward, it could trigger the loading issue. This can also occur if the VPN has the auto-connect feature enabled and starts when the device boots, unbeknownst to the user.

1. Open the VPN application and click on the Pause button to disconnect.
   
2. After that, click on the Settings icon and select Connection.
   
3. In Connection, locate Auto-Connect, click on it, and uncheck the ‘On all networks’ option.
   
4. Lastly, if disconnecting the VPN from one server doesn’t solve the issue, reconnecting to another server might work.

3. Update Netflix Application 

Updating the application is essential, as older versions are more prone to glitches, even if the user’s internet and servers are functioning properly. Additionally, Windows should also be updated; this ensures that the latest app updates are compatible with the operating system, avoiding performance and compatibility problems.

1. Open the Start menu and click on the Settings icon.
   
2. In Settings, select Update and Security.
   
3. In the Windows update section, click on the Check for updates button to download and install the latest Windows updates.
   
4. To update the Netflix app, open the Start menu, search for Microsoft Store, and click it.
   
5. Navigate to the Downloads section and click on the Get Updates button to download and install the latest app updates.
   

4. Reset Netflix Application

Misconfigured app settings and corrupt app data could prevent the application from loading. Resetting the Netflix application will restore it to its default settings and clear its app data. This could resolve glitches and issues causing performance instability.

Note: Resetting Netflix will result in account sign-out, so you will need to log in again.

1. Open the Start menu and click on the Settings icon.
   
2. In settings, look for Apps and select it.
   
3. In the Apps & Features section, scroll down and click on Netflix and select Advanced options.
   
4. In advanced options, click the Reset button and confirm the action by clicking the reset button again in the popup menu.
5. Lastly, launch the Netflix application and re-enter your login credentials. 

5. Reinstall Netflix Application

If resetting or updating doesn’t solve this issue, reinstalling the Netflix application could work as a fix. Reinstalling the application will restore any corrupt or missing files, which could resolve any compatibility problems.

1. Open the Start menu, search for Apps and Features, and select it.
   
2. In Apps and Features, locate Netflix and click on it, then select Uninstall.
   
3. Next, click on the Start menu, then search for Microsoft Store and open it.
   
4. Search for Netflix by typing it in the search box, and select it.
   
5. Lastly, click on the Install button to download Netflix on your device.
   

6. Clear Cookies on Browser

Cookies store information related to log-in details and user session data. If the cookies become outdated or corrupt, they might affect webpage functionality and prevent Netflix from loading. Clearing cookies allows the browser to access new account data. Additionally, when the user logs in to their account, a fresh connection is established between the server and browser. 

Note: Clearing cookies will result in an account logout, so you’ll need to log in again.

1. Open your browser and click on the Vertical Ellipsis icon, then select Settings.
   
2. In Settings, click on Privacy and Security, then select Third-party cookies.
   
3. Next, select See all site data and permissions.
   
4. After that, search for Netflix by typing it in the search bar, then click on the Bin icon in front to delete cookies.

Other possible reasons can include incorrect device settings for Netflix, or network interference from other devices on your network.

Before you try the methods below, we highly suggest doing a simple restart of both your device and the Netflix app. Often, this can fix temporary issues causing the error. If the problem continues after a restart, please follow the step-by-step troubleshooting guide provided below.

1. Check Internet and Server Status

The first troubleshooting step is to check your internet connection for stability and speed. You can test your internet speed on platforms such as Fast or Speedtest. If your internet is slow, a router or modem restart might help, or you may need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Netflix’s server issues can also cause this error. You can check the server status here to see if Netflix’s servers are operational.

2. Sign Out and Sign Back Into Netflix

Logging out and back into your Netflix clears all the data in the cache and forces it to get new data from the server. This often fix login problems that might be causing the error code 100.

1. Click the icon at the top right side of the screen and select Sign Out of Netflix.
2. Revisit the Netflix website and enter your credentials.

3. Reset Internet Settings (on Windows)

Your internet cache and settings could be causing this error. By resetting these settings to default, you could potentially fix the connectivity issue.

1. Open the Search menu, type cmd, and launch the Command Prompt as an Administrator.
2. Execute the following commands:

   netsh winsock reset
   netsh int ip reset
   ipconfig /release
   ipconfig /flushdns
   ipconfig /renew

   

3. Restart your PC.

4. Disable OpenDNS and Reset DNS Settings

Issues with internet connections can often be due to modified DNS settings. Resetting these settings to their default can fix the issue. In particular, turning off OpenDNS has been known to work in some instances.

1. Right-click on the Network icon in the system tray and click on Open Network and Internet Settings.
2. Select Change Adapter Settings.
3. Right-click on your primary internet connection and select Properties.
4. Locate and select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click on Properties.
5. Choose Obtain DNS server address automatically, which allows the system to detect the DNS settings automatically.
6. Click OK to apply the new DNS settings.

5. Reset Your TV

If the above solutions do not resolve the issue, consider resetting your TV. A reset removes unnecessary applications and restores the settings to default, which may solve the problem.

For a comprehensive guide on how to reset your TV, please refer to our article, How to Reset TV.

6. Try Netflix on a Different Device

Consider trying to use Netflix on another device. Examples of other devices could include a computer, a different TV, or a mobile phone. By doing this, it can help verify if the problem is with your device or your Netflix service. This approach might reveal that the problem is specific to the device you’re using.

The post How To Change Netflix Plan on Desktop & Mobile [Guide] appeared first on Appuals.

We’ll explore how to create web apps or shortcuts using Safari or Google Chrome, and we’ll also delve into using PlayCover as an alternative solution to run Netflix on Mac. Be cautious, though, as Netflix has yet to release an official app for Mac, even in 2023. Be wary of websites claiming to offer such an app, as they could be misleading or harmful to your device.

Previously, some unofficial apps in the App Store allowed viewing Netflix content on Mac. However, these have been removed by Apple due to their policy against apps that act as mere website wrappers. While an official Netflix app exists for iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, this does not extend to Macs.

Although there is no official Netflix app for Mac, some workarounds and features can help you replicate the app experience. Let us show you the ways to get Netflix on your Mac.

1. Saving Netflix Website as WEBLOC from Safari

WEBLOC is a file created by the Safari browser for website shortcuts. Here’s how you can add the Netflix website as WEBLOC from Safari:

1. Open Safari and visit netflix.com.
   

   

2. You’ll see a “Sign in” option, but don’t sign in. Instead, move your cursor to the top of the Safari window and drag it down.
   

   

3. Click and hold the URL, then drag and drop it to your desktop.
   

   

4. A file labeled “WEBLOC” will appear on your desktop.
   

   

5. To change the icon to the Netflix logo, open a new tab in Safari and search for a transparent Netflix logo in Google Images. After downloading the logo you like, return to the WEBLOC file, right-click on it, and select “Get info.”
   

   

6. Drag the Netflix logo from your browser to the open window, and drop it where it says “Add tags.”
   

   

7. You’re done! You have now saved the Netflix website as a Webloc file from Safari which will give the illusion of a native Netflix app.
   

   

2. Saving Netflix website as a Web App from Safari

If you own one of the more recent Macs and have the latest macOS Sonoma installed, you can create a Web App for Netflix, which will basically serve as a glorified website shortcut. Here’s how:

1. Open Safari web browser and go to Netflix.com.
2. Click the Share icon at the top-right corner and select “Add to Dock.”
   

   

3. The shortcut will automatically get its name and icon from the internet, but you can change these to whatever you like.
4. After customizing, click the “Add” button, and the website will be added to your Dock like an app.
   

   

3. Saving Netflix website as a Shortcut from Google Chrome

If you have an older Mac that doesn’t get the Sonoma update, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered as well. Google Chrome offers a universal solution for this method, which works on every version and model of Mac.

Here are the steps to create a Netflix website app using Chrome:

1. Open Google Chrome and go to netflix.com.
2. Find and click the menu (three dots) in the top right corner. Hover your mouse over “More Tools and choose “Create Shortcut.”
   

   

3. You can rename the shortcut and check the option to “Open as Window“, then click “Create.”
   

   

4. This creates a Netflix shortcut that looks like an app even though it’s open in a browser.
   

   

You can then move the app to your Dock for easy access. Just click and hold on the app and drag it to the Dock.

Run Netflix on Mac using PlayCover (M1/M2/M3 Macs Only)

PlayCover is a free project that lets you use iOS apps and games on Apple Silicon M1, M2, and M3 Macs. It supports all macOS versions, including Ventura and Monterey. It wraps the Netflix app from iOS in a way that works on these Macs.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Visit PlayCover’s GitHub page.
   

   

2. Scroll down until you see the downloadable file under “Assets,” and click it to start the download.
   

   

3. Open the downloaded file and drag the PlayCover app to your applications folder.
   

   

Now, you’ve installed PlayCover. Next, you need a special version of the Netflix app from sites like ARM Converter and Decrypt and add it to PlayCover. Here’s how to do it:

1. Find Netflix on one of those sites, click “Download Now,” and wait for the file. You might need to turn off your ad-blocker.
