Is TiviMate available for iPhone?
Quick answer
No. TiviMate, made by Armobsoft FZE, is designed for Android TV, and its Google Play listing says it is not optimized for phones or tablets. The developer has no app on the App Store (checked on 2 November 2026), so there is no TiviMate for iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. Apps with similar names on the App Store come from other developers. To watch the same playlist on iPhone, use an iPhone IPTV player that supports M3U and Xtream Codes and enter the login from your IPTV provider.
TiviMate is one of the best-known IPTV players on Android TV, so it's natural to look for it after getting an iPhone. The short answer is that it doesn't exist for iOS. This guide explains what TiviMate runs on, why the “TiviMate” results on the App Store are not the real app, and how to watch the same playlist on your iPhone.
Is there a TiviMate app for iPhone or iPad?
No. TiviMate IPTV Player is developed by Armobsoft FZE and distributed through Google Play. Its listing describes it as designed for Android TV and remote-control navigation, and states that it is not optimized for touch devices such as phones or tablets. When we searched the App Store on 2 November 2026, Armobsoft FZE had no apps there — not for iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
So if you use TiviMate on an Android TV box or a Google TV device, you can keep doing that. There is simply no official way to install the same app on an iPhone.
Beware of lookalike apps on the App Store
Search the App Store for “TiviMate” and you'll still get results: apps whose names or icons resemble TiviMate. None of them is published by Armobsoft FZE. Some are ordinary IPTV players, others are unrelated tools such as remote controls. Before you install anything:
- Check the seller name under the app title. The TiviMate developer is Armobsoft FZE, which has no App Store apps.
- Don't expect your TiviMate purchase to carry over. A premium upgrade bought for TiviMate on Android doesn't unlock anything in an iPhone app with a similar name.
- Look at the in-app purchases on the listing before you enter your login.
- Protect your login. An M3U link usually contains your username and password, so only enter it in an app you trust.
Smart IPTV Pro Player is an independent iPhone app by Appriqa. It isn't affiliated with TiviMate or Armobsoft FZE and doesn't use their name.
Can I use my TiviMate playlist on iPhone?
Usually, yes. TiviMate is a player, just like the iPhone apps. Your channels come from your IPTV provider, and most providers deliver them in one of two ways:
- An M3U link — a single playlist URL. See the M3U player for iPhone page.
- An Xtream Codes login — a server address (host), username and password. See the Xtream Codes player for iPhone page.
If you set up TiviMate with either of these, the same details work in any iPhone player that supports that method. Find them in the email or customer area of your provider. Not sure which one you have? Read M3U vs Xtream Codes.
TiviMate also supports Stalker Portal (MAC address) logins. Smart IPTV Pro Player doesn't, so if your provider only offers a portal login, ask them for an M3U link or Xtream Codes details instead.
TiviMate and Smart IPTV Pro Player compared
The two apps are built for different screens, and TiviMate has TV features that Smart IPTV Pro Player doesn't offer. Here is an honest comparison. The TiviMate column is based on its Google Play listing, checked on 2 November 2026.
| Feature | TiviMate | Smart IPTV Pro Player |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for | Android TV (not optimized for phones or tablets) | iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later) |
| iPhone / iPad app | No | Yes |
| Apple TV app | No | No |
| M3U playlists | Yes | Yes (by URL) |
| Xtream Codes | Yes | Yes |
| Stalker Portal | Yes | No |
| TV guide (EPG) | Yes | No |
| Catch-up | Yes | No |
| Recording live TV | Yes | No |
| Multiview | Yes | No |
| Multiple playlists, favorites, search | Yes | Yes |
| Movies and series tabs with seasons and episodes | Not described in the listing | Yes (seasons with Xtream Codes) |
| Offline downloads of movies and episodes | Not described in the listing | Yes |
| Price model | In-app purchases for premium features | Free download; Premium subscription for unlimited watching |
If a full TV guide, catch-up or recording matters most to you, an iPhone app without those features won't replace TiviMate on your TV. If you want to watch live TV, movies and series from the same subscription on your iPhone, a native iPhone player is the way to do it.

How to watch your playlist on iPhone
- Get your login details from your provider: the M3U link, or the Xtream Codes host, username and password.
- Install Smart IPTV Pro Player from the App Store. It requires iOS 18 or later.
- Choose the connection type — M3U or Xtream Codes — on the Add Your Playlist screen.
- Enter the details and tap Add Playlist. The app shows a preview of the first channels it found.
- Mark your favorites. Favorites from TiviMate don't transfer, so star the channels you watch most.
Many subscriptions limit how many devices can stream at the same time, so stop playback on your TV before you test on the iPhone. Step-by-step screenshots and fixes for common errors are in the IPTV setup guide for iPhone.
Do I have to choose one?
No. Many people keep TiviMate on the TV and use a separate player on the iPhone with the same subscription, as long as the provider's connection limit allows it. The playlist belongs to your provider account, not to the app.
Whichever player you use, only add playlists from services that are authorized to distribute their content in your country. Read Is IPTV legal? for the details. Coming from IPTV Smarters? We also explain whether IPTV Smarters is available on iPhone.
