Sphere IPTV on iPhone and iPad
Sphere IPTV works on iPhone and iPad through third-party player apps from the App Store that support Xtream Codes or M3U playlists. Install a player, enter the login details we send on WhatsApp, and your channels and on-demand content load in the app. You can also AirPlay to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible smart TV.
- Sign-in: Xtream Codes API or M3U playlist link
What you need on iOS and iPadOS
Any iPhone or iPad that runs a recent version of iOS or iPadOS can use Sphere IPTV. Unlike Android, iPhones and iPads install apps through the App Store, so you choose from players Apple has approved.
Several App Store players support Xtream Codes or M3U playlists. Some are free with ads, others are paid or offer a subscription for extra features. App names and availability change over time, so check reviews and recent updates before paying for one.
How to set up Sphere IPTV on iPhone or iPad
Install a player from the App Store
Search the App Store for an IPTV player that supports Xtream Codes. Check that it has been updated recently and supports your iOS version.
Order and receive your details
Message us on WhatsApp, choose a plan and say you are on iPhone or iPad. We send your login after payment.
Add your playlist
In the app, choose to add a playlist or user with Xtream Codes, then enter the server URL, username and password. If your app only accepts M3U, paste the M3U link instead.
Watch or AirPlay to your TV
Start a channel, then tap the AirPlay icon to send it to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV on the same network, if your player supports it.
Configuration tips for iPhone & iPad
- Streaming on cellular data can use several gigabytes per hour. Check your data allowance or stay on Wi-Fi.
- Enable Picture in Picture in your player (if supported) to keep watching while using other apps.
- If AirPlay stutters, install a player directly on an Apple TV instead — see our Apple TV guide.
- Offload apps you do not use to keep enough storage for the player's cache.

Troubleshooting Sphere IPTV on iPhone & iPad
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The app will not accept my login | Paste the server URL exactly as sent, including http:// and the port. iOS sometimes auto-capitalises the first letter of usernames, so check that too. |
| Streams stop when I lock the screen | Many players pause when the device locks. Use Picture in Picture or AirPlay if you want background playback. |
| AirPlay connects but the picture freezes | Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi band and close to the router, or install a player on the Apple TV itself. |

iPhone & iPad questions
Is there an official Sphere IPTV app for iPhone?
No. Sphere IPTV provides the service and login details; you watch through a third-party player app from the App Store.
Can I use Sphere IPTV on iPad and iPhone at the same time?
You can install your login on both. Whether both can stream at once depends on the number of connections included in your order.
Do I need a paid app on iOS?
Not necessarily. Free players exist, although some show ads or limit features. Paid players often have better TV guides and fewer restrictions.
Can I download channels to watch offline?
Live TV cannot be downloaded. A few players allow recording or offline viewing of on-demand content, but this depends on the app.
