IPTV on iPhone and iPad: how to open M3U and Xtream
An iPhone or iPad cannot open an M3U link by itself; you need a player. Uzman IPTV Player is made for touch: tap a channel for a preview, tap again for full screen. The same app uses the iPad's larger screen too.
Step by step
Get it on the App Store
Search the App Store for “Uzman IPTV Player” and install it. The 7-day free trial starts the first time you open it.
Copy your link
Press and hold the M3U or Xtream link your provider sent by message or email, then copy it.
Paste it in “Add source”
Choose “Xtream login” or “M3U link” and paste. If you paste an Xtream link, server, username and password are separated for you.
Have a file? Pick it from Files
If the playlist came as an .m3u file, save it to the Files app first, then pick it with “Playlist file”.
Start watching
Search inside a category, sort by rating or name. For films you can find matching subtitles online.
Tips
- On iPhone and iPad the licence is bought inside the app, through the App Store; no code is needed.
- Unfinished films and episodes wait for you under “Continue” on the home screen.
- To open the same playlist on your TV, scan the TV's “Add with your phone” code with your iPhone.
Common questions
Why does my M3U link not open in Safari?
M3U is not a video but a list of channels; a browser cannot play it. You need a player that reads the list and shows the channels.
Can I mirror to the TV with AirPlay?
If your TV runs Android TV or Google TV, installing the TV version of the app works better: it is used with the remote and leaves your phone free.
