Install IPTV On iOS: IPTV Smarters Setup Guide 2025
How to Install IPTV On iOS (Simpler Than Android)
Here’s what surprised me when I first tried to install IPTV on iOS—I expected Apple’s restrictive ecosystem to make things complicated. Turns out it’s actually the easiest installation of any platform. Took me 3 minutes flat, and most of that was typing my login credentials with my thumbs. My sister who’s terrified of technology did it on her iPhone while we were on FaceTime, and she literally said “Wait, that’s all?”
Let me walk you through this exactly like I did for her.
What You'll Need
- iPhone or iPad (iOS 12 or newer)
- Internet connection (WiFi recommended)
- IPTV subscription (get one here)
- Your login credentials (emailed when you subscribe)
- 5 minutes max
No computer needed, no jailbreak required, nothing sketchy.
Step 1: Download IPTV Smarters Pro
The Story: Apple’s App Store is way cleaner than Google Play—there aren’t a million fake versions to sort through. IPTV Smarters Pro is right there, verified by Apple, ready to go.
Here’s how:
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap Search at the bottom
- Type “IPTV Smarters Pro”
- Find the app with the orange/blue icon
- Tap Get then use Face ID/Touch ID to confirm
- Wait about 20 seconds for installation
The app is completely free. Zero cost to download.
Lesson learned: iOS apps are automatically placed on your home screen after installation. If you can’t find it immediately, swipe down from the middle of your screen and search “IPTV Smarters”—it’ll show up instantly.
Step 2: Set Up Your IPTV Account
The Story: My sister’s biggest mistake was trying to manually type her complex password with autocorrect fighting her every step. Here’s the smart way: open your subscription email in Safari, then copy-paste your credentials directly into the IPTV app. Saves so much frustration.
Setup steps:
- Open IPTV Smarters Pro (tap the icon on your home screen)
- You’ll see login options on the welcome screen
- Select “Login with Xtream Codes API” (standard method)
- Enter your information:
- Username: from your subscription email
- Password: from your subscription email
- Server URL: provided by your IPTV provider
- Tap Add User
The app connects to servers in about 5 seconds. Then you’ll see your entire channel lineup organized by category—sports, movies, Canadian channels, international, everything.
Pro tip: iOS has a built-in password manager (Keychain). Let it save your IPTV credentials when prompted. Next time you need to log in (maybe on an iPad or new iPhone), it’ll auto-fill everything. Makes life so much easier.
Step 3: Optimize for iOS (Quick Tweaks)
Once logged in, you’re technically done. But these quick adjustments make everything better:
Create Favorites: Long-press any channel → tap the star icon. Your favorite channels (TSN, CBC, Sportsnet, whatever you watch) now appear in one convenient list. No more scrolling through thousands of options.
Adjust Quality for Mobile Data: Go to Settings → Player Settings and set stream quality. On WiFi, keep it on Auto. On cellular data, manually set to 720p or lower to avoid destroying your data plan.
Enable Picture-in-Picture: iOS supports PiP natively. While watching IPTV, swipe up from the bottom (or press home button on older devices). The stream continues playing in a small window while you use other apps. Perfect for keeping an eye on games while texting or browsing.
Set Parental Controls: If kids use your device, go to Settings → Parental Control in the IPTV app. Set a PIN to restrict adult content or specific channels.
Lesson learned the hard way: I streamed an entire hockey game on cellular data during a road trip before realizing I wasn’t on WiFi. Burned through 2GB in two hours. Now I always double-check my connection status before streaming, and I keep mobile quality set to 480p by default. Saved me a fortune in overage charges.
Quick Troubleshooting
Can’t find app after installing?
- Swipe down from middle of screen
- Type “IPTV Smarters” in search

Login keeps failing?
- Check for typos (copy-paste from email is best)
- Verify subscription is active at your account
- Make sure you selected correct login method (Xtream Codes API)
App crashes or freezes?
- Close app completely (swipe up from bottom, swipe app away)
- Restart your iPhone/iPad
- Check for iOS updates (Settings → General → Software Update)
Buffering issues?
- Test internet speed (need 5+ Mbps minimum)
- Switch to WiFi if you’re on cellular
- Lower quality in Player Settings
- Close other apps running in background
