The site saw a spike in reports around 9:00pm but users reported that the site appeared to be back.

This marks Netflix’s tenth problem of the month with previous problems and outages being reported on November 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th andn 15th.

In mid October, users logged on to platforms such as Whatsapp and Instagram and also reported technical issues when attempting to run the apps on their mobile devices along with a dozen other apps.

How can I check if Netflix is not working?

Those who may be experiencing difficulties with Netflix can check another social media app such as Twitter for reports.

If you don’t have a Twitter account Down Detector will tell users when the apps are down or experiencing difficulties.

If it appears the problem may not be widespread, try checking the internet connection on your device or exiting the app before logging back in.
