Watching on mobile data
An HD stream uses around 1.5–3 GB per hour. On mobile data, pick SD or HD channels instead of 4K, and use Wi-Fi when you can.
Send it to the big screen
Use AirPlay to an Apple TV or an AirPlay-compatible Samsung, LG or Sony TV. For daily TV viewing, install the app directly on the TV device instead.
iPhone IPTV tips
- Picture-in-picture: apps that support it let a channel float over other apps while you work.
- Cellular data: pick HD instead of 4K and use Wi-Fi when you can. Check your plan’s data allowance.
- Cast to a TV: use AirPlay to an Apple TV or compatible TV for the big screen.
- Low Power Mode can reduce video quality; turn it off for live sports.
