What is TiviMate IPTV Player?

TiviMate is a popular IPTV player that allows users to stream live TV channels provided by IPTV services. Designed with a sleek and intuitive interface, TiviMate offers a user-friendly experience for watching TV on FireStick and other Android-based devices.

5. Go back one screen to see the newly unlocked Developer Options.

Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues
