Understand what syncs

Multiview syncs source configuration, favorites, hidden-channel selections, and saved layouts. A new Apple device can use that configuration after iCloud data becomes available.

Sync IPTV details across Apple devices

With iCloud Sync enabled, updated Multiview apps sync M3U playlist details and Xtream Codes credentials through private iCloud app storage, including Apple TV. Open the updated app on the device where you added the source to sync existing credentials. Each device also keeps a copy in Keychain. Older versions keep their existing behavior and may require credentials to be entered again. Plex, Tablo, and camera sources may still require sign-in or credential entry.

Good to know: iCloud Sync is an Apple-only feature. It does not sync configuration to Android or Google TV.
