I need to install an older version of Netflix on my Note 10 but can't do that because it is already installed and when I try to uninstall it, the system doesn't allow me, saying 'can't uninstall system apps' Can someone help please.

If you are not allowed to uninstall the app, you can download the apk version of it from the various websites (not from Play Store). It works for me.

That's what I'm trying to do. I downloaded an apk but that apk can't be installed because the same app is already installed. The installation gives an error.

Netflix is a system app and you will not able to uninstall it the conventional way.. all u could do is disable... but if you need to install an older version you will need to perform advance actions like running adb shell... if your still interested check XDA DEVELOPERS their site has information on how you can do it... but it could be risky leading to bricking yr $1000 phone
.
best of luck

Thanks for the link, I checked that I decided not to mess with it due to the risk of a dead phone... So.... Is there no other way? 😩

I've an apk which forces 1080p and 4k streaming on mobile phone. Because even if I have the 4k package, I only get 720p. That's unfair.
