This page is for adults. Many IPTV services include adult categories, and many households need to hide them. It explains how those categories work in apps, how to lock them away from children, how to protect your privacy and which warning signs to watch for.

How adult categories work
Providers group channels into categories. Adult channels sit in their own group. The app shows them in the channel list like any other category, unless you hide or lock them.
Is adult content legal?
It is legal for adults in many countries, with age limits and rules that vary. Check your local law. The provider must also hold rights to what it sells.
What to look for in a provider
