NetMirror For iOS

NetMirror iOS users often search the App Store and find nothing. That's because there isn't an iPhone app. iPhones can't install APK files, and Apple doesn't allow unlicensed streaming apps in its store. The good news: NetMirror Web works in Safari, and you can pin it to your home screen so it opens like an app. Here's how to set it up, and how to avoid the fake "iOS versions" going around.

Why There's No NetMirror iOS App

Android lets you install apps from outside the Play Store. Apple doesn't, except in a few regions with special rules. Every iPhone app has to pass Apple's review, and an app that streams films without licenses won't pass. So any "NetMirror IPA" or iOS download you see online isn't from the real developers.

Set Up NetMirror Web on iPhone

• • Open Safari. Other browsers work too, but Safari handles the home screen shortcut best.
  • Visit NetMirror Web.
  • When the page has fully loaded, tap the Share button. It's the square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen.
  • Scroll down the list and tap "Add to Home Screen".
  • Change the name if you like, then tap Add.

On iPad

The steps are the same, but the Share button is at the top right of Safari instead of the bottom. The bigger screen makes the iPad a nicer way to watch, and you can use Split View to keep the video in one half of the screen.

Get the Best Viewing Experience

Turn the phone sideways. Most players fill the whole screen when the phone is sideways. Make sure the Portrait Orientation Lock is off in the Control Center. Use AirPlay for your TV. If you have an Apple TV or an AirPlay-ready smart TV, open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring and pick your TV. The whole iPhone screen shows up there.

Pick lower quality on mobile data. Streaming in full HD uses a lot of data. If the player has a quality option, choose a lower one when you're away from Wi-Fi.

Web Version vs Android App

Watch Out for Fake iOS Versions

Some sites claim to have a NetMirror iOS app you can install. Watch for these requests:

• Install a "configuration profile"

• Trust an "enterprise developer" in Settings

• Complete a survey or install other apps first

• Pay for a "premium" iOS version

Don't do any of them. A profile can give strangers a lot of control over your phone. If you already installed one, open Settings, go to General, then VPN & Device Management, and remove any profile you don't recognise.
