Adding channels to your favorites makes watching IPTV convenient and fast. But if your IPTV app isn’t showing favorite channels, it can be annoying — especially when you have to scroll through hundreds of channels manually.

Don’t worry — this is a common issue and can usually be fixed in just a few minutes. Below are 6 easy fixes to restore your IPTV favorite channels list.

Quick Overview Table

Possible Cause	Quick Fix

1. Clear App Cache and Restart

A temporary glitch or corrupted cache can stop your favorites from appearing.
To fix it:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Apps.
2. Select your IPTV app.
3. Tap Clear Cache and Force Stop.
4. Reopen the app and check if your favorites reappear.

2. Update Your IPTV App

If your IPTV app is outdated, it may not sync favorites properly. Developers frequently fix such bugs in newer versions.
How to fix:

• Go to your App Store / Downloader app.
• Search for your IPTV player (e.g., IPTV Smarters Pro, B1G Player, or Star Share).
• Download the latest version.
• Log back in and check your favorite list.

3. Reconnect or Reload Your Playlist

Sometimes, the playlist (M3U or Xtream code) doesn’t sync correctly.
Fix:

1. Go to your app’s playlist settings.
2. Re-enter your M3U URL or Xtream credentials.
3. Save and reload the playlist.
4. Wait a few seconds for your favorites to reappear.

4. Make Sure You’re Logged In

If you’re using an IPTV service that saves favorites online (cloud sync), you must be logged in.
Solution:

• Check your account status or login info.
• Re-login using your username and password.
• Restart the app and see if your favorites show up again.

5. Check for Playlist Changes

Your IPTV provider may have updated or replaced channels, making your favorites disappear.
Tip:

• Contact your IPTV provider to confirm.
• If channels were renamed or moved, you’ll need to re-add them to your favorites.

6. Free Up Device Storage

If your device is running low on storage, your IPTV app may not save data correctly — including favorites.
Quick fix:

• Delete unnecessary apps or files.
• Restart your device.
• Reopen IPTV and re-add favorites if needed.

Bonus Tip: Backup Your Favorites

If your IPTV app supports it, export your favorites to a file or cloud storage. That way, you can easily restore them even after reinstalling or updating the app.
