Possible to watch movies I purchased on XBOX One on my Apple iPhone?

I have a media purchasing dilemma. I am trying to decide how I will purchase movies going forward.  I have an iPhone 6 Plus, but I love the idea of using my XBOX as a media center.  Is it possible to watch movies that I purchase from the Microsoft Store on my XBOX One on my iPhone? Is there a Microsoft player or app that will enable me to access my Microsoft purchased movies on my iPhone? Or will I be limited to watching it ONLY on my XBOX One?

If I'm limited to watching only on my XBOX One, then I won't use my XBOX as media center. I'll just get an Apple TV because I'd like to be able to take my purchased content with me everywhere.  Any help and insight will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, it's not yet possible as there is no Microsoft Movies & TV / Xbox Video app available for iOS or Android devices.

    Hello Michaela.

    Just wanted to publish that the info you gave on this topic is inaccurate. It is not possible for iOS users to watch movies from the Microsoft store on their iOS devices using an XBOX music app.  There is currently no way for iOS (iPhone/iPad) users to watch movies from the Microsoft store on their iOS devices.

    I was compelled to make this correction because I'm sure many others have (or will have) this question and many of those will come across this thread. Since you are a forum moderator, your posting may be taken with a bit more weight than some other posters. So I felt it was important that I correct the record so as to offset the confusion that your posting on this topic will undoubtedly cause.

    Hello RRRize

    Thank you for posting in the forum

    yes is it possible to watch movies that you purchased from the Microsoft Store on your  XBOX One on your iPhone.

    Just download the XBOX music app on your iPhone.

    Kind Regards,

    What you're saying is not wrong, but it does not address the question asked.  The question is regarding movies purchased from the Microsoft store, not movies purchased from an alternative ecosystem with a compatible XBOX app. I have purchased movies from the Microsoft store and was asking if I can watch THOSE movies on my iPhone.

    The confirmed answer, NO, has been marked on this thread. It is not currently possible to watch movies purchased from the Microsoft store on your iPhone.

    This is clearly a waste of money to purchase media and only be able to use it on one device. We pay the same amount for a hard copy and can play it anywhere. Apple has solved the problem a long time ago and Microsoft is playing catch up, pretty typical.
