How to Watch IPTV on iPhone & Apple TV

Apple is notorious for removing IPTV apps from the App Store. Unlike Android, you can't easily "sideload" apps on an iPhone.

This leaves many Apple users asking: "Can I even watch IPTV on my iPhone?"

The answer is YES. But you need to know which apps to look for.

In this guide, we reveal the best apps currently working on iOS and tvOS.

Option 1: GSE Smart IPTV (Best for iPhone/iPad)

GSE Smart IPTV is a powerhouse. It supports almost every format and has a clean interface for mobile.

Installation Steps:

Go to the Apple App Store.
Search for "GSE Smart IPTV" (Look for the red/black icon).
Download and Open the app.
Tap the Hamburger menu (top left) > Xtream Codes API.
Tap the (+) icon to add a new server.
Enter the details we sent you:
- Name: StreamVexa
- Server URL: http://...
- Username / Password
Tap Login.

Pro Tip: Make sure you are on WiFi when loading the channel list for the first time, as it can be large.

Option 2: IPTV Smarters Player (Best for Apple TV)

If you have an Apple TV 4K box, this is the app you want. It looks almost identical to Netflix.

Note: Sometimes this app is hidden or renamed to "Smarters Player Lite" in the App Store to avoid Apple's ban hammers.

Installation Steps:

Open the App Store on your Apple TV.
Search for "Smarters Player Lite".
Install and Open.
Choose "Login with Xtream Codes API".
Enter your StreamVexa login details.
Enjoy 4K streaming on the big screen.
