Earlier today, Netflix started assuming up as 'incompatible' on the Play Store for abiding and apart Android devices. However, the app itself connected to assignment fine, arch some (including myself) to anticipate it could accept been an accident. However, Netflix has now accepted to us that blocking adapted accessories from downloading the app was intentional.

This is the abounding statement:
With our latest 5.0 release, we now absolutely await on the Widevine DRM provided by Google; therefore, abounding accessories that are not Google-certified or accept been adapted will no best assignment with our latest app and those users will no best see the Netflix app in the Play Store.

If you're not accustomed with it, Widevine is a Google-made DRM technology that works beyond assorted desktop and adaptable platforms. Widevine categorizes accessories into three aegis levels, alignment from all processes active in the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to not active annihilation in TEE at all.
However, the Play Store advertisement seems angry to a device's SafetyNet cachet (which is acclimated by Android Pay), rather than the Widevine TEE. For example, Artem's bootloader-unlocked banal Pixel is still on Widevine Akin 1, the best defended level, but fails SafetyNet because it is unlocked.

What isn't absolutely bright is why alone the Play Store advertisement is blocked, but the app itself connected to action normally. I approved both Netflix 4.16 and 5.0.4 (the latest version, from today), and both formed after problems on my apart and abiding Galaxy Tab S (which is labeled as Widevine Aegis Akin 3). Maybe at some point the app will stop working, but that does not arise to be the case appropriate now.
If you accept a blocked device, I acclaim afterward the Pushbullet approach for Netflix on APKMirror (click the Pushbullet button on that page) so you can abide to accept updates alfresco the Play Store.
