How to Set Up IPTV on Android Phones & Tablets

Before You Start

Any modern Android phone or tablet (Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Motorola and more) can play IPTV through a player app. Have the login details from your WhatsApp ready.

1. Install an IPTV player

   We recommend IPTV Smarters Pro for its simple login and clear layout.

   1. Open the Google Play Store and search for IPTV Smarters Pro.
   2. Tap Install, then Open.
   If it isn't listed in your region, message us and we'll recommend an alternative such as XCIPTV.

2. Log in with your Xtream details

   1. Choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
   2. Enter any name ("IPTV Éire"), then your username, password and server URL. Copy and paste them straight from WhatsApp.
   3. Tap Add user. Your Live TV, films and series will load.

3. Load the TV guide

   1. From the dashboard, tap Install EPG (or refresh it from Live TV).
   2. Wait a minute for it to finish, then open Live TV.

4. Optional: cast to your TV

   1. If your app supports casting, tap the Cast icon while a channel plays and choose your Chromecast or Google TV device.
   For the best big-screen experience, install the app directly on an Android TV or Firestick.

Tips for the Best Picture

• Use Wi-Fi at home: Full HD streaming can use roughly 1.5–3 GB of data an hour.
• Exclude the app from battery saver in Settings › Apps › IPTV Smarters Pro › Battery so playback isn't interrupted.
• Clear the cache if the app slows down, in Settings › Apps › IPTV Smarters Pro › Storage.
• Use landscape mode and turn off auto-brightness for the best picture.
