Installation & Setup Walkthrough
Download IPTVX from the iOS App Store
Open the App Store on your iPhone. Search for "IPTVX" (developed by Bending X - FZE) and tap "Get" to download the application to your home screen.
Open IPTVX and Choose Your Playlist Type
Launch IPTVX. On the welcome screen, tap the "+" button or "Add Playlist". Choose "Xtream Codes API" for automatic category synchronization and integrated EPG, or choose "M3U Playlist" if using a direct URL.
Enter Your VIEWTV IPTV Credentials
Input the connection parameters provided in your VIEWTV activation message: (1) Playlist Name (e.g., "VIEWTV Mobile"), (2) Server URL including port, (3) Username, and (4) Password. Tap "Connect".
Enable iOS Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Background Audio
Go to IPTVX Settings > Playback > toggle ON "Background Playback" and "Enable Picture-in-Picture". Now when you swipe up to go home while watching a channel, the video smoothly shrinks into a floating PiP window.
Configure Cellular Data Saver (Optional)
If you stream frequently over mobile data plans, navigate to Settings > Network & Streaming. You can set the default mobile stream profile to 720p or 1080p to conserve monthly cellular bandwidth while retaining crisp visual quality.
Platform-Specific Features & Optimizations

Multitask effortlessly. Chat with friends, browse Safari, or check emails while your live sports match or show continues playing in a floating window.
Background Audio Mode
Listen to commentary, live radio, or rolling news channels even when your iPhone screen is locked, saving substantial battery.
Touch Gestures for Quick Zapping
Swipe left or right on the screen to zap between consecutive channels, or swipe down to reveal your favorites overlay without exiting full screen.

Troubleshooting & Platform Fixes
Video pauses when iPhone screen locks
Enable "Background Playback" in IPTVX Settings > Playback. Verify iOS Low Power Mode is disabled, as Low Power Mode restricts background media decoding.
High cellular data consumption
Connect to Wi-Fi when streaming 4K feeds. In IPTVX playback settings, select lower bitrate streams or HLS feeds when travelling.
Cannot paste credentials into login boxes
Ensure iOS clipboard permissions allow IPTVX to paste from other applications. Tap and hold inside the text field until the "Paste" bubble appears.
