How to Set Up Netflix on an iPhone 7

Video streaming services are becoming increasingly common, and the quality of the original programming that is available on them is quite high. So if you want to watch a Netflix-exclusive show like House of Cards or Stranger Things, you might have decided to get a Netflix subscription. You can even choose to set up Netflix on your iPhone to watch those shows almost anywhere.

Our guide below will walk you through the steps of setting up Netflix on your iPhone 7. This will involve downloading and installing the Netflix app, then signing up for a Netflix account. At the time this article was written, Netflix offers a free trial period, then you will be billed for a monthly Netflix subscription once that trial period has ended.

 

How to Get the Netflix App on an iPhone 7

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus, in iOS 10.2. These steps will assume that you do not already have a Netflix account. You will be able to sign up for one during the process of installing the Netflix app on your iPhone. Signing up for Netflix through the iPhone app will cause your payment to be billed through iTunes. If you would prefer to use a different method for paying your Netflix subscription, then you might prefer to create an account on the Netflix website instead. You can then use your email address and password to sign into the Netflix app after downloading it to your iPhone.

Note that video streaming can use a lot of data. If you are on a cellular plan with a limited amount of monthly data, then be sure to limit the amount of streaming that you do when connected to a cellular network. However, streaming while connected to a Wi-Fi network does not count against your monthly cellular data cap.

If you don’t have room to download the Netflix app on your iPhone, then you might need to delete some other apps from the device.
