How to Install IPTV on iPhone and iPad, Step by Step

  1. Open the App Store

    Open the App Store and tap Search.

  3. Install it

    Tap Get, confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple Account password, then tap Open.

  4. Add your TVSPELER login

    • In UHF: add a new playlist, choose Xtream, and type the server URL, username and password from our WhatsApp message. Or choose M3U and paste the link. Copy and paste each field straight from WhatsApp to avoid typing mistakes.
    • In ibo Pro Player: the app shows its device details and website address. Open that website in Safari, enter the details and paste the M3U link from our WhatsApp message, then activate the app.
  5. Load your channels

    Go back to the app and open Live TV. The channel list and TV guide take 1–3 minutes to load the first time.

IPTV on Mac

On a Mac with an Apple silicon chip (M1 or newer), open the Mac App Store, search for UHF, then select the iPhone & iPad Apps tab in the results. Select Get, open the app and add your login as in Step 4. UHF needs macOS 13 or later.

Intel Macs cannot run these apps. If your Mac has an Intel chip (Apple menu > About This Mac), message us on WhatsApp and we tell you what to use.

Before You Watch IPTV on iPhone and iPad

Watch on your TV: in UHF, use AirPlay to an Apple TV or AirPlay TV, or Chromecast to a Google TV. For daily TV watching, the app on the TV itself is steadier: see the Apple TV guide.

Mobile data: an hour of Full HD uses a lot of data. Use Wi-Fi when you can, and keep 15 Mbps for Full HD. The full speed table is on our IPTV pricing page.

Phone and TV together: your phone counts as one screen while it plays. With a 2-screen plan you can watch on your phone and your TV at the same time.

IPTV on iPhone Not Working? Try This First

  • The app does not appear in the App Store: check your iOS version in Settings > General > About. UHF needs iOS 16 or later; on older iPhones, use ibo Pro Player.

  • Login error: a space was probably copied with the username or password. Delete the field, paste again and remove any space at the end.

  • Video stops when you leave the app: turn on picture-in-picture in the app settings, or keep the app open.

  • Buffering on mobile data: switch to Wi-Fi or move closer to your router, then test the same channel again.
