Ready for a night of Netflix binge-watching on your Samsung TV, but the app seems grumpy? Don’t worry! Updating Netflix on your Samsung TV is easier than making popcorn. Let’s walk through the steps one by one.
Step 1: Power On and Connect
First things first:
- Turn on your Samsung TV.
- Make sure it’s connected to the internet.
If your Wi-Fi is acting up, Netflix won’t be happy. So give it a second to connect or restart the router if needed.
Step 2: Head to the Smart Hub
Samsung TVs come with a Smart Hub — your one-stop shop for apps.
- Grab your remote.
- Press the Home button (it looks like a little house).
- Select Apps from the menu.
Once you’re in the Apps section, you’re on your way.

Step 3: Find Netflix
Scroll around until you see the Netflix app. It’s hard to miss — big red “N” on a black background.
Click on it and hold for a second or two. A little menu will pop up, like magic ✨.
Step 4: Check for an Update
From the mini-menu that appears:
- Select Update Apps.
- Then choose Select All (or just Netflix, if that’s all you care about).
- Click Update at the bottom.
Your TV will now update Netflix—if there’s an update available. This usually takes a few seconds.
Step 5: Let It Work
Don’t panic if the screen goes black for a second. That’s normal! It’s just Netflix recharging its powers 💪.
Once it’s done, a little message will pop up confirming your app is updated.
Bonus Tip: Set Auto-Updates
If you’re like most of us and forget these things, turn on auto-updates. Here’s how:
- Go to Settings in the Apps section.
- Choose Auto Update.
- Switch it to On.
Now your Netflix will stay fresh, just like your snacks.

Still Not Working?
If the app still acts weird, try this:
- Uninstall and reinstall the Netflix app.
- Or perform a TV software update via Samsung’s settings.
Sometimes the TV itself needs a little update to play nicely with all your favorite apps.
Final Thoughts
Updating Netflix on your Samsung TV isn’t rocket science — it’s more like remote-control gymnastics.
Keep these steps handy:
- Turn on the TV and connect to Wi-Fi.
- Open Smart Hub and go to Apps.
- Find Netflix and check for updates.
- Let it update.
- Turn on auto-updates to make life easier.
Now your Netflix nights will run smoothly, and you won’t miss a single episode cliffhanger!
