How to Watch Netflix on Echo Show [Updated]

Part 1. Can You Watch Netflix on Echo Show?

Yes, the Echo Show can play Netflix. The experience is fully optimized for these smart displays, giving you a smooth, touch-friendly interface. However, it's important to note that the native Netflix app is not available on all Echo Show devices. It's always wise to confirm your model is on the list:

• Echo Show (1st and 2nd generation)
• Echo Show 5 (1st and 2nd generation)
• Echo Show 8 (1st and 2nd generation)
• Echo Show 10
• Echo Show 15

If you're using one of them, luckily, you can get Netflix on Echo Show directly because the app is pre-installed. However, if you're using other devices, such as Echo Show 5 (3rd generation), there is no direct way to enjoy Netflix service. But don't worry, this article has you covered! You can follow the steps presented in Part 3 to access Netflix on Echo Show 5 (3rd generation) and other models.
