How to Update Your IPTV App Without Losing Your Playlist
Updating your IPTV app usually keeps your saved login and settings. This is how to make sure, and what to do if they disappear.
Standard updates preserve your data
Updating through the Play Store, Appstore, or App Store keeps your app's settings, including your playlist, in almost every case.
Before a manual APK update
If you're sideloading a new APK version (see the safe APK install process), note your login details first in case the update needs a fresh install.
If your playlist disappears after an update
Add it again with your original credentials (see how to add a playlist). It takes under a minute, and your account isn't affected.
