![]() How is it doing that? I did a little bit of digging to solve this mystery. The Netflix Mod app that’s being passed around does not seem to require you to log in to anything but it allows you to watch shows and movies for free. Modifying the apk only changes it on the device on which it is installed and does not change the fact that you will still have to log in on the server-side. This means that even if you tinker with their apk you will still need a valid Netflix account in order to be able to make use of their service. Netflix does server side authentication and registration. To be clear, modified versions of Netflix apks files do exist but these are usually made by people who want to use Netflix on devices that are not officially supported by the streaming giant. Those who use and love Netflix Mod might be surprised to learn something: Netflix Mod is not even a Netflix Mod at all. Sideloading mods onto your device is asking for trouble. In fact most of those that do are malevolent actors banking on the popularity of an app to spread their malware. Not all the people who modify apks can be described as kind-hearted. The trouble with mods is that they break the provenance chain. For decades we have been experts on using keygens and crackers downloaded from the internet and Mods are just the latest chapter in a long road we have been travelling on. The trouble with modsĪs already said, Zimbabweans love cheap and free things which is understandable given the state of our economy which spends inordinate amounts of time in the toilet. People actually seem to believe this is indeed a Netflix Mod. I have seen it being requested in various TV Show and Tech related WhatsApp and Telegram groups. The app is so popular even among Zimbabweans. All you have to do is download the apk file and sideload it onto your Android device, open it and you will be presented with row upon row of Netflix goodies. Those who push the app claim that this is a modded version of Netflix that allows you to access Netflix’s service without paying anything. On the surface, Netflix Mod is one such app. You will therefore not find any modded app in the official Playstore. Usually the modifying is done by a third party who is not in any way related to the original makers of the app. ![]() A workaround is modifying the apps and there are plenty of sites that offer modded apps as they are known. ![]() There are also other ad-supported apps out there that tend to be so riddled with ads as to be unusable unless you pay to have ads removed. While the majority of Android apps are free, there are quite a number that require you to pay in order to either download or use them. If you are new to all this let me explain like you are five. For those not in the know, Netflix Mod is purportedly a modded (modified) Netflix apk file that you can install on your Android Device and be able to watch “free” TV Shows and Movies. And along came Netflix Modįor such people and a lot others who are cheap and just love free things, Netflix Mod was a godsend. A lot of people were forced to prioritise their spending and that usually meant them not having money to pay for Netflix. A lot of people saw a massive reduction in their income due to lockdowns made in the wake of the pandemic. However, the pandemic brought with it another problem. Netflix is easily the chief beneficiary of the pandemic as it has added millions of subscribers more than any of the streaming services as a result. To preserve their sanity a lot of people turned to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Showmax, iPlayer among many others. Thanks to Covid-19 a lot of people have spent entire months cooped up in their houses stuck with their spouses and children and unable to go to work. ![]() It is an understatement to say 2020 has been an unusual year.
