How to Update Your IPTV App Without Losing Your Playlist

Updating your IPTV app usually preserves your saved login and settings automatically — here's how to make sure, and what to do if it doesn't.

Standard updates preserve your data

Updating through the Play Store, Appstore, or App Store keeps your app's stored settings, including your playlist, in the vast majority of cases.

Before a manual APK update

If you're sideloading a new APK version (see the safe APK install process), note your login details beforehand as a precaution in case the update requires a fresh install rather than an in-place update.

If your playlist disappears after an update

Simply re-add it using your original credentials — see how to add a playlist — this takes under a minute since your account itself is unaffected.
