Your selection with TELOS
More than a list on your iPhone
Fit your content into your day: discover at home, download before traveling and continue in your personal profile.
Download now. Watch later.
Watch eligible movies and episodes offline with an Xtream source and the required download conditions.
Your taste stays with you
“For you” learns locally on your device. You decide whether the app can keep learning.
A selection for the whole family
Kids profiles show approved content; the household PIN protects leaving the profile.
Your library for everyday life on the go
A favorite channel, a movie for the evening or the next episode: TELOS opens content from your own Xtream account or M3U link on iPhone. Search takes you directly to titles; favorites keep regular content within reach. Your watchlist collects what you want to see later.
Continue Watching brings you back to movies and episodes you have started. A quick browse can lead somewhere: save interesting titles, return later and continue in your own profile. The Xtream guide and M3U guide help you choose your connection method.
Up to five profiles, each with its own selection
Sharing an account does not mean everyone needs to see the same history. TELOS supports up to five profiles per Xtream account, with their own favorites, history, Continue Watching, watchlist and downloads. Audio and subtitle choices also stay personal.
Approve content for children and protect leaving their profile with the household PIN. Kids profiles do not learn personal tastes. See the profile answers on this page. The number of profiles does not replace your provider’s simultaneous connection limit.
“For you” learns your taste on iPhone
The more you watch in your own catalog, the more information the local recommendation logic has. The “For you” row uses your viewing to suggest content from your source. Recommendation data does not leave your device.
Under “Settings > Taste”, pause learning, view interests or reset them. You stay in charge of whether TELOS can keep learning and how your personal selection develops. The recommendation answers on this page explain the local processing and controls.
Xtream or M3U: choose the right source
TELOS is the player; bring your own legal content account. For Xtream, enter server, username and password. For M3U, use the full playlist link. Your provider determines which channels, movies and series are available.
A TELOS profile differs from another simultaneous provider connection. Check the connection limit if the same account is already running on your TV. The comparison below shows which features these two connection methods offer in the Apple app. Find further answers in the iPhone FAQ.
Xtream or M3U on iPhone: what you can use
Both methods open content from your own source, but offer different features in the Apple app described here. If your provider offers both, this comparison helps:
On small screens, you can scroll this table sideways.
| Feature | Xtream account | M3U link |
|---|---|---|
| Connect your account | Server address, username and password | Full playlist link |
| Play content | Selection from your source | Selection from your list |
| Programme guide | If your provider supplies compatible programme data | Using a suitable XMLTV source from your provider |
| Catch-up | If supported by your provider and the programme | Not supported |
| Download movies and episodes | Eligible titles, provider proxy off; depends on the provider | Unavailable |
Your account still determines which channels and movies are accessible. TELOS cannot add missing programs or provider permissions. If your credentials are unclear, read the Xtream guide or M3U link guide.
Download movies before a trip and watch offline
Download eligible movies and episodes at home over Wi-Fi before leaving. Start a download on the title’s detail page and find saved titles under “My TELOS”. TELOS uses Wi-Fi only by default; you can enable cellular downloads if needed.
You need an Xtream source with the provider proxy switched off. Whether a title can be downloaded depends on your provider. M3U sources do not offer downloads in TELOS. Check saved titles and free storage before traveling. The download answers on this page explain the requirements; Apple TV has different storage rules.
Your offline checklist before departure
A watchlist entry is not a saved movie. Prepare the actual titles while you still have a reliable connection:
- Open the profile you will use later.
- Download eligible movies or individual episodes from their detail pages. Check free storage and download requirements first.
- Check under “My TELOS” that the downloads you want have finished.
- Try playing a saved title without an internet connection before relying on it while traveling.
Live TV still requires a connection; this checklist applies to downloaded movies and episodes. If you stream over cellular data or enable cellular downloads, watch your plan’s data allowance. For longer trips with a larger screen, explore TELOS on iPad.

Can I watch movies without internet?
You can download eligible movies and episodes from an Xtream source in advance and play them offline. The provider proxy must be off, and availability depends on your provider.

Up to five profiles per Xtream account. Favorites, history, Continue Watching, watchlist, downloads, audio and subtitle choices stay personal to each profile.
