Quick Overview of IPTV Smarters Auto Start
IPTV Smarters is a popular app for watching live TV, movies, and series. Formuler devices, like the Z series, are great for IPTV. The “auto start” feature means the app opens by itself when you boot your device. You do not need to find and click the app icon every time. This is very convenient.
How to Install IPTV Smarters on Formuler
First, you need to have IPTV Smarters installed on your Formuler box. Follow these three simple steps.
Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources
Your Formuler box needs permission to install apps from outside the official app store.
-
Go to
Settings
on your device’s home screen. -
Find and select
Security & restrictions
. -
Turn ON the option for
Unknown Sources
.
Step 2: Download the IPTV Smarters APK File
You need the app installation file, called an APK.
- Open the web browser on your Formuler box (like Chrome or the pre-installed browser).
-
Visit the official website to get the latest version:
- Find the download link for the IPTV Smarters Pro APK and download it.

Open your device’s
File Manager

folder. - Find the downloaded APK file (it might be called “smarterspro.apk”).

Setting Up Auto Start for IPTV Smarters
Formuler devices run on Android TV. To make an app auto-start, you usually need a helper app. Here is the best method.
Using a “Launcher” App
The easiest way is to use a custom launcher that lets you set a startup app. We recommend using the free ”
TV App Repo
” app.
-
Install
TV App Repo
from the Google Play Store on your Formuler box. -
Open TV App Repo and go to the
Create Startup Apps
section. -
Select
IPTV Smarters Pro
from your list of installed apps. - TV App Repo will create a new, small app icon on your home screen.
- This new icon is now your “startup” version of IPTV Smarters.
-
Important:
Restart your Formuler box. When it boots up, it should now automatically open IPTV Smarters.
💡 Pro Tip
If you use the official Formuler “MYTVOnline” app, it has a built-in auto-start option in its settings. For third-party apps like IPTV Smarters, using a helper app like TV App Repo is the standard solution.
