Device Setup Guide

IPTV on Android Phones and Tablets

What You Need Before You Start

Copy and paste makes this the quickest setup we offer.

Open the Google Play store and search for the IPTV player app we recommend.
Tap Install.
Open the app and choose to add a login or playlist.
Long-press our WhatsApp message to copy the details, then paste them into the app.
Start watching. Rotate the phone for full screen.

Many player apps show a Cast button. Tap it to send the picture to a Chromecast or a TV with Google TV built in. Your phone becomes the remote.

For nightly viewing on the big screen, installing the app on the TV device itself is smoother. Our Android TV guide shows you how.

Android is great at saving battery, sometimes too great. These settings stop it from interrupting your stream:

Turn off battery optimization for the player app (Settings > Apps > the app > Battery > Unrestricted), so Android does not pause it.
Turn off Data Saver when you watch on Wi-Fi.
Lower the stream quality in the app when using mobile data. HD uses roughly 2 to 3 GB an hour.

Disable battery optimization for the app, as shown above.

Check your storage and that your Android version is supported. Tell us your model and we will suggest an alternative if needed.

Yes. Tablets are one of the most popular second screens. Setup is identical to a phone.

Each standard plan covers one device at a time. For two or more screens, ask for a multi-device quote or see the plans.

Most phones from the last few years are fine. Very old ones may not support the latest app. Send us your model and we will check.

How much data does it use?

About 2 to 3 GB an hour in HD. Use Wi-Fi when you can.
