How to Sync IPTV Favorites and Settings Across All Your Devices
Set up cloud sync so your favorites, watch history, and settings follow you from TV to phone and back.
One of the biggest frustrations with other IPTV players is that your favorites and settings are stuck on one device. TVLok Pro solves this with real-time cloud sync.
What Syncs
- Favorites — Star a channel on your phone, it appears in your favorites on TV instantly.
- Watch history — Resume a movie on your phone where you left off on TV.
- Settings — EPG offset, buffer size, parental controls, category order, and more.
- Hidden channels — Hide channels you do not want to see. Hidden on one device, hidden on all.
- Profiles — Your profiles, PINs, and kid category allowlists sync across devices.
- Search history — Your recent searches are available everywhere.
How It Works
When you sign in with your TVLok account on a new device, your data syncs automatically. Changes push to all your devices within seconds via a persistent connection to TVLok servers.

Setting It Up
- Create a TVLok account at tvlok.com/register (free).
- Sign in on your first device (Fire TV, Android TV, or phone).
- Add your playlist and set up your channels.
- Sign in on your second device — your playlist, favorites, and settings will be there.
Free vs Pro
Cloud sync is a Pro feature. Free users get one device with local-only storage. Upgrade to Pro ($12/year) for sync across up to 5 devices.
On the free plan, your data is stored locally and works fully offline. Nothing is lost if you upgrade later — your local data merges with the cloud.
Conflict Resolution
If you make changes on two devices while offline, TVLok merges them automatically when both devices reconnect. The most recent change wins for each individual item (last-write-wins per field).
