Apps on your Panasonic Smart TV may not be working because

The best way of fixing any app issue on your Panasonic Smart TV is to identify the primary cause.

Solutions to the “Panasonic apps not working” issue

Try out these fixes for apps that have stopped working on your Panasonic TV

1. Ensure the app supports your specific TV model

Like other manufacturers, Panasonic tends to abandon the support of many apps. Some include Netflix, Amazon Prime, and even BBC iPlayer. Also, the TV provider does not guarantee the availability of applications on its platform.

So, if apps are not working, check whether Panasonic supports them. That will depend on the TV model you are using. If it does not support your specific application, you will either have to upgrade the system or update your app.

You should also check with the app provider to find out if your TV is supported.

2. Update your Panasonic Smart TV software

You need to update your TV software to the current version to fix issues with your app. Updating ensures that your television has all the latest features and functionality.

To update Panasonic Smart TV firmware

• Go to Menu from your remote
• Select Network
• Select Software Update

You will see the current and latest versions displayed on your screen. If a newer version is available, follow the instructions as they appear on your screen to update the firmware.

3. Reset the app

Resetting the app in question might help fix the problem you are facing. This especially helps to solve memory problems and connection issues.

To reset apps on Panasonic Smart TV

• Go to Menu from your remote
• Open the app (e.g. Netflix)
• Press the following buttons in a sequence – Up twice, Down twice, Left once, Right once, Left once, Right once, and finally Up four times
• A deactivation screen will appear
• Deactivate the app

Deactivating Netflix (or any other app) on Panasonic will log you out of your account. Log in and try again.

4. Restart your TV

Restarting your TV is a simple procedure that can fix many issues. That can include low-level system errors, network issues, and memory leaks, among others.

If apps are not opening, restarting will offer a quick solution, especially if the applications are frozen.
