If downloading isn't your style, or you're in a place with a reliable and fast internet connection. There are additional ways to enjoy Netflix on Apple Vision Pro.
Method 1. Watch Netflix in Safari Browser
Vision Pro supports Apple's Safari browser, allowing users to log into their Netflix account via the web player. Just like how you watch Netflix on iPhone, Mac or Apple TV through Safari browser, you can access Netflix content by following these steps:
- Make sure you have the latest version of Vision OS and Safari installed.
- Open Safari browser on Apple Vision Pro.
- Go to the Netflix website, and log in.
- Choose the Netflix movies or shows you want to play.

Method 2. Watch Netflix through the Supercut App
Supercut is an app designed to bring Netflix service to headsets, like Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3. While this app gives you shortcuts to the Netflix content, it's not a native Netflix app, so you won't be having immersive streaming experience. More directly, when you watch Netflix through Supercut, you'll see a floating window playing Netflix movies and shows, which somewhat loses the point of using Apple Vision Pro.
However, Supercut is still a great app, enabling you to watch Netflix content and use the Netflix features, such as Dolby Atmos, multichannel audio, and intuitive playback controls. All you need to do is paying $5 before you download the app on the Vision OS App store. Then, you'd follow these steps on your Vision Pro:
- Open the Supercut app on your Apple Vision Pro.
- Log into your Netflix account.
- Choose the Netflix movies or shows you want to play.
- Click on the Play button to start streaming.

- Supports 4K (Depends on your internet speed)
- Supports Playback Controls
- Cons
- Not Free
- Not VR-Optimized

Part 4. FAQS About Netflix on Apple Vision Pro
Q1.Why won't Netflix launch an app for Apple Vision Pro?
A1.Netflix may hesitate to launch an app for Apple Vision Pro due to a few key factors. First, adapting an app for a new platform, especially one that prioritizes immersive VR experiences, involves a significant investment of time and resources, and success isn't guaranteed. Netflix would need to make sure the user experience is optimized for Vision Pro rather than just functional, which can be challenging.
Additionally, Apple's high commission fees–taking either 30% for direct billing or 27% if Netflix routes payments through a third party–significantly cut into Netflix's revenue. This financial cost, combined with the effort required to develop and maintain an app on a niche platform, may lead Netflix to question whether supporting Vision Pro aligns with their priorities.
Q2.Can you watch Netflix in 4K on the Apple Vision Pro?
A2.Yes, you can watch Netflix in 4K by using the ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader and the Supercut app. However, you should ensure that the internet speed is fast and stable unless the the 4K quality is not available on the Supercut app. For a more seamless viewing experience, using the ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader is a better option, as it allows you to download content in the original quality and view it offline, guaranteeing you a more immersive viewing experience.
Part 5. Conclusion
While Netflix doesn't yet have an official app for the Apple Vision Pro, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy your favorite shows on this innovative device. You can watch Netflix online via Safari and Supercut, and if you're looking for both video quality and a immersive viewing experience, give ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader a try to make the most of your Vision Pro for a high-quality streaming experience.
