Cannot watch Netflix in Safari on iPad M1 Pro 12.9 after iOS 27 update

Hello and thank you for your time.

When on the go, I am sometimes using safari with an iPad M1 Pro 12.9 to watch Netflix. Since the last update to iOS 27 I cannot do this. From Safari, I log in to my Netflix account, I choose "who is watching" and then choose the movie/series I want to see. Then I get a black screen with the loading icon staying there forever.

Installing the Netflix app is not an option for me. I used this way, through browsers, all the time.

Being trying to resolve this with Safari, Brave, Opera and Edge. No luck.

(when facing this problem, I tried to watch from my laptop running macOS. It was playing as normal, so there is no subscription problems with my Netflix account)

Well contact Netflix and let us know the result.

Thanks for the reply.

There is a reason I don't use Netflix app on the iPad on the go.

I usually get a notification that I am not me.

So trying to persuade Netflix that I am really me is not in my first priority, when being away from home :-)

I still need to fix Safari. Maybe a setting that I cannot see..

Well Netflix has an app for iPad and it been updated, maybe don't fight it.

There's no app for Mac so using a browser will do.
