I also have a rooted LG V20 and I'm encountering the same Netflix issue as you. Seems as though Play Store is detecting root and not allowing Netflix to be installed.

Yes, This is really starting to get crazy with this May update. Had to download Netflix from APK mirror to get it to work. Can't wait for June. Lol

I'm running a Google Store Pixel XL, unlocked, rooted, stock on May 2017 security update (thanks to using Chainfire's VerifiedBootSigner.zip). I just checked on Google Play and it says that Netflix is incompatible with my Google Pixel XL. I do, however, already have Netflix installed on my phone and it appears to launch and run just fine.
(I'm at work and haven't tested the actual playing of content.) But, I suspect that I won't receive any updates to the Netflix app based on my phone being tagged as incompatible. I do not know if this is a new condition or brought about by the May 2017 update. I did not check this on April or earlier updates. Although, upon initial release, I was obviously able to install Netflix on this phone.

If you already have Netflix installed on your phone, how are you seeing that it's incompatible on the Play Store? I have Netflix installed on my phone, just checked it on the Play Store, and it says, "Your device already has this item installed".

When using the Google Play app on my Pixel XL, I am unable to even find the Netflix app. It is not showing on my list of installed apps nor can I successfully search for it and find it within the Google Play App. However, I have the actual Netflix app installed on my phone (despite what Google Play app indicates) and I can launch it and actually play content.
If I access Google Play via the web from my Windows device, that is where I can find Netflix and see the indication that it is not compatible with my Pixel XL. (even though it is actually installed)
Thanks,
S

Thats basically exactly what I'm experiencing. It doesn't show up even when I search on play store. I downloaded Netflix from APK mirror and its fine. Play store still doesn't recognize it.
Wow true. Wouldn't have noticed. Lucky it's already installed
I noticed this last night when restoring, at this moment I am purely stock and using google search to find the play store link returns "Item not found" in the play store.
Stock os, unlocked bootloader, not rooted, Verizon pixel XL
I have a Verizon pixel XL with unlocked bootloader, not rooted, and just did may ota. Netflix app was previously installed on the phone and working fine. After update the app would open but not connect. Not even showing as installed on my phone in play store or if I searched for the app in play store. Uninstalled, downloaded from APK mirror and it works just fine.
Looks like Netflix is blocking rooted or unblocked devices!

Netflix working fine here but I did have it previously installed. Vzw Pixel, stock, rooted, and May bootloader.
you can log into netflix and watch no issue, but you are no longer able to download from play store if your device has the bootloader unlocked OR you are rooted.

you can use the application with no issue, you will no longer receive updates through the play store for this app tho. You can even download the .apk directly from netflix, you just wont be able to see it when searching the play store from your rooted device(assuming it's supersu and not magisk, magisk still works)
It looks to me like apps are starting to look for root permissions and if they find you are rooted, they won't work. So far I have seen SnapChat, DirecTV Now, and now Netflix. (See a trend here?) I think this is going to start becoming the trend of things in the future.
You guys can also just use APK mirror to find it or any other APK that doesn't show up for you or is "incompatible" for your device. Mods or warez type files. All signed apks sorted by version
@pcriz - The Directv now app still requests root access from apk mirror and if you install snapchat before rooting, it will work afterwards. I started looking into root access on a per app basis, because I really only use 2 or 3 apps that need root, instead of overall root and denying access, but I haven't gotten anywhere with it. Of course there is also Chainfire's project to hide root, but I haven't had a lot of success with that so far either. At least the last time I tried it on my HTC10.

Magisk is also an option I would consider. I use it and have root with no issues from Android pay and Snapchat.

The Magisk page says the Pixel is a WIP, have you seen any issues?
Unlocked bootloader, not rooted. I used to be able to update Netflix on Google Play Store this way by checking for app updates, but seems like that's gone. I've tried clearing Play Store and Play Services cache/data, but no luck.
Do I have to sideload the app from now on? And if so, where's a reliable (ie: not full of malware) source for the Netflix apk?

Use Yalp Store! It's an app store identical to the play store where you can find and update all them blocked apps
Use apk mirror https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/
I think I might have figured out the issue with Netflix not showing up in the play store. Im also unlocked and couldn't get it to work for the longest time. I think it's twrp that's causing the issue. I decided to go flash the factory image to go back to stock. Instead of using twrp, I used the Canary build of magisk to patch the boot.img from the factory image, then flashed the patched boot.img to achieve root. Netflix showed up doing it this way. So I had stock recovery, was unlocked and rooted with Netflix showing up on play store.
Recovery has nothing to do with it. My P2XL: Android 10, stock, rooted (Magisk 20.0), and TWRP installed. INSTALLED Netflix from the Play Store and updated Netflix from there as well.
After I sideload Netflix on my rooted Pix 2 XL, I am able to get updates via the Playstore.

Which version did you sideload. It was updating for me for a while but I don't think it still is, but the numbering on apkmirror is confusing for netflix jumps from 6.x to 3.x and the 3.x won't install on my pxl2xl

I can confirm that since Magisk 20, Netflix installs and updates fine from the play store. Before that I was using Aurora store.

Bad idea. No restore of Samsung backup after lineageOS installation. Get your data into universal formats. Like vcf for contacts.
sure

Same question ! I use a samsung account and notes in the account storage. I installed lineage OS 17.1 on my Galaxy Note4 - N910C without problems, but I could not install applications so that there were no errors. Can anyone help embed Samsung applications in Lineage OS 17.1 for Galaxy Note4 N910C? Or maybe there are other ways to solve my problem?
I have some issues with certain apps on an unrooted Galaxy S8+ Exynos running LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10.0) with TWRP recovery installed.
I own a Galaxy Watch Active, and I attempted to install the Galaxy Wear app from the Play Store and opened it, and got a 'Operating System on your phone has been modified in an unauthorised way' error. I also own Galaxy Buds+ which I need to pair as well (using standard bluetooth with them for now). How do I fix this issue? (bear in mind I'm not rooted)
The HSBC UK app is also messing around a bit, every time I open it and click the checkbox next to 'I accept the terms and conditions', it reboots my phone and crashes the app. Is this a general Android 10 issue with support for the HSBC app, or an anti-custom ROM move from HSBC? And if this is the case, how would I fix this too?
A more general issue is that Google Pay isn't working. It says my phone isn't supported to make payments in-store via NFC because it has been rooted (it hasn't been rooted, just installed a custom ROM). I didn't pass the SafetyNet test. It was installed with gapps by the way.
The least important issue is the Transport for London app, which says that my phone has been tampered with and is no longer supported by TfL and the app closes. Any way to trick the app into thinking I am not running a custom ROM?
Thank you so much for reading and I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks!
Did you manage to find a fix for the HSBC UK app reboot/crashing problem? I am having the same issue, but on Havoc OS running Android 11 rooted with Magisk.
So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.
I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot
I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461
You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.
Install: liboemcrypto disabler
from Magisk, reboot ....enjoy

Yeah, I got the SafetyNet thing fixed.
However still unable to install Netflix.
still getting "App Not Installed" error, when I try to install the APK.
I tried installing the "liboemcrypto disabler " as suggested a few messages back, and also doesn't seem to make any difference.

I just did after reading this.
It's not showing up in Google Play store.
It's just so weird, everything else works, Google Pay (wallet), Pokemon Go, Banking Apps, everything else that usually will complain and refuse to run when Root is detected, are all working fine, except for Netflix.

I'm thinking maybe I'll need to un-root my phone, update Netflix, see if it runs without root, if it works, then try to root again and figure how to go from there.

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

There are sai versions floating around here that work search xda also make sure you magisk hide Netflix before you open it initially. Or hide them clear cache and data on netflix

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.
Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.
