Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about the JioSphere Browser on your TV

Privacy & Ad Blocking

Yes. JioSphere includes a built-in Ad Blocker that puts an end to annoying ads and pop-ups while you browse on your TV. This means faster page loads, less visual clutter, and a smoother big-screen browsing experience.

Incognito Mode lets you browse the internet without leaving a trace of your browsing history on your device. No history, cookies, or site data is saved after you close the incognito session. This is particularly useful for shared family TVs where multiple people use the same device.

The VPN feature for the JioSphere Browser is currently in development and will be released in an upcoming update. Once available, it will let you browse with an encrypted connection and access content securely from your living room.

Browsing & Navigation

Voice Search lets you say goodbye to typing with a TV remote. Simply press the mic button on your STB/TeleOS remote and speak your query — JioSphere will search the web for you. It's designed for a hands-free, hassle-free search experience on your TV, making multitasking easy.
Please note: Voice Search is not available on Android TV. It is supported on the Jio Set-Top Box and TeleOS.
Tip: Speak clearly and naturally for the best voice recognition results.

Quick Links are shortcuts to your favourite websites, displayed directly on the JioSphere homepage. They let you add your most-visited sites and access them instantly, without having to type out URLs. You'll also find a curated selection of Quick Links ready for you to explore.

Yes. You can bookmark web pages for later access in the JioSphere Browser. Bookmarked pages are saved within the browser, so you can return to them anytime without having to search or type the URL again.

JioSphere offers 3 search engine options (Google, Bing, and Yahoo), giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred search provider. You can switch between them at any time from the browser settings.

Entertainment & Language

Entertainment Mode is a feature exclusive to JioSphere STB/TeleOS that lets you stream content with significantly fewer ads. It's one of the modes you can pick when you launch the app, and when selected, the browsing experience is optimised for watching and enjoying media on the big screen, providing a cleaner, more immersive entertainment experience directly from the browser.
Please note: Entertainment Mode is not available on Android TV. It is supported on the Jio Set-Top Box and TeleOS.
