Step-by-Step Guide to Update Netflix
Step 1: Turn On Your Samsung Smart TV
Sounds basic, but gotta start somewhere, right? Power up your TV with your remote. Make sure it’s connected to the internet.
Step 2: Open the Smart Hub
Press the Home button on your remote. This opens the Smart Hub—basically your TV’s app store and dashboard.

Step 3: Go to “Apps”
Navigate to the Apps icon and select it. This is where all your installed apps live, including Netflix.
Step 4: Find Netflix
Scroll around or use the search bar to locate Netflix. Once you’ve found it, click on it to open its app details page.
Step 5: Check for Updates
If there’s an update available, you’ll see an “Update” option. Select it and let the TV work its magic.
It usually takes less than a minute. Easy-peasy!
Step 6: Open Netflix
Once the update is done, open Netflix and enjoy the latest version. Browse, binge, repeat.
Auto-Update Option (So You Never Have to Worry Again)
Want your TV to handle the updates while you handle the snacks? Turn on Auto-Update!
Here’s how:
- Go to Apps through Smart Hub.

That’s it! Now Netflix (and your other apps) will stay updated without you lifting a finger.
