How to watch Netflix on Nintendo Switch
Even though there is not an official Netflix app on Nintendo Switch, there is a workaround that will let you watch your favorite shows and movies.
The first option is to install Android on your Switch. This will allow you to install the Netflix app through the Play Store. It’s important to note that Android is not officially supported on Switch, so there are potential risks involved.
We do not recommend this option unless you really know what you are doing! Even then, you assume the risks involved with potentially voiding your warranty and bricking your console.
