How to install Great IPTV on iPhone & iPad
- 1
Download the player
Open the App Store, search for IPTV Smarters Pro or another player you trust, and tap Get.
- 2
Accept the terms
Open the app and agree to the player's terms. The app itself contains no channels — they come from your login.
- 3
Add the Xtream login
Tap Add user, then choose "Xtream Codes" (sometimes called "Xtream API" or "Login with Xtream"). Enter any name for the playlist, then the server URL, username and password exactly as they appear in your Great IPTV welcome email — the URL starts with http:// and includes the port number. Save and wait while channels, movies and the guide load.
- 4
Lock rotation off and play
Choose Live TV, pick a category and a channel. Rotate the device for full screen; on iPad, picture-in-picture lets you keep watching while you message.
- 5
AirPlay to a TV (optional)
While a channel plays, tap the AirPlay icon in the player or open Control Center → Screen Mirroring and choose your Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV.
Tips for the best picture on iPhone & iPad
- On mobile data, choose the SD or HD version of a channel to save data — an HD hour uses about 2–3 GB.
- Turn off Low Power Mode while streaming; it can throttle Wi-Fi and cause buffering.
- Paste the server URL from your email (long-press → Copy) to avoid typing mistakes.

Common iPhone & iPad problems
Channels won't play on mobile data
Some carriers block or slow video streams. Try Wi-Fi to confirm the login works, and check Settings → Cellular → [app] is allowed to use mobile data.
AirPlay shows the audio but no video
Some players only allow audio over AirPlay for certain streams. Use Screen Mirroring from Control Center instead, or install the player directly on an Apple TV.
App asks for a 'portal URL'
That's the server URL from your email — the one starting with http:// and including the port. Don't use the website address of this site.
