Streaming your favorite Netflix titles on Hisense TV is simple since the app often comes pre-installed on many models. Some Hisense TVs even feature a remote control with a dedicated Netflix button, making it incredibly convenient to launch the app with just one click.
However, if you don’t see Netflix pre-installed on your Smart TV, you can easily install it from the built-in app store. Once installed, activate Netflix, and you’re all set to enjoy a vast library of content.

Can I Cast or AirPlay the Netflix Titles to Hisense TV from a Smartphone?
The Netflix app has built-in cast support on both Android and iOS devices. For casting, ensure that your TV and phone are connected to the same WiFi network. Launch the Netflix app and look for the Cast icon in the top right corner. Tap on it and choose your Hisense TV name. Wait for the Netflix logo to appear on the TV screen. Now, play the title and watch it on the TV screen.
On the other hand, the AirPlay support on the Netflix app for iPhone and iPad was removed way back in 2019. So you can’t play the titles on your TV from iOS devices with this feature.

If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Netflix app. As a last resort, reset your Hisense TV to factory settings.
