How to Watch IPTV on iPhone and iPad

To watch IPTV on an iPhone or iPad, install a player such as IPTVX, GSE Smart IPTV or Smarters Player Lite from the App Store, add the Xtream Codes login or M3U link from your welcome email, and start watching. You can also AirPlay to an Apple TV, a Roku or an AirPlay-compatible smart TV.

Set up IPTV on iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the App Store and search for IPTVX, GSE Smart IPTV or Smarters Player Lite.
  2. Install the app and open it.
  3. Choose Add playlist or Login with Xtream Codes.
  4. Enter the server URL, username and password from your welcome email, or paste the M3U playlist link.
  5. Tap Add or Save and wait a moment while channels and the guide load.

Tip: copy the details straight from the email on your iPhone and paste them into the app. Typing long URLs by hand is the most common cause of login errors.

Watch on your TV with AirPlay

  1. Connect your iPhone and TV device to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Play a channel in the IPTV app.
  3. Tap the AirPlay icon in the player (a rectangle with a triangle), or open Control Center and tap Screen Mirroring.
  4. Choose your Apple TV, Roku or AirPlay-compatible TV.

AirPlay from the player's own button is better than mirroring the whole screen: the video goes directly to the TV in full quality, and you can use your phone for other things. If you watch on the TV every day, an Apple TV with the same app is even smoother. See the Apple TV guide.
