How to Download YouTube Videos on iPhone
Using a Third-Party App
One way to download YouTube videos on your iPhone is by using a third-party app. There are several apps available on the App Store that allow you to download YouTube videos, such as Documents by Readdle, Video Download Browser, and TubeMate.
To download a YouTube video using a third-party app, first, download and install the app of your choice from the App Store. Then, open the app and go to the YouTube video you want to download. Copy the video link and paste it into the third-party app. From there, you should be able to download the video to your iPhone’s storage.
It’s important to note that using third-party apps to download YouTube videos may be against YouTube’s terms of service, and there is a risk of downloading malicious software or viruses. Be sure to research the app and read reviews before downloading.
Saving Videos to Your Camera Roll
Another way to download YouTube videos on your iPhone is by saving them to your camera roll. To do this, open the YouTube app and go to the video you want to download. Tap on the share button below the video and select “Save Video.” This will download the video to your camera roll where you can access it offline.
It’s important to note that not all YouTube videos can be saved to your camera roll. Some videos may have restrictions due to copyright laws or other reasons. Additionally, saving videos to your camera roll takes up storage space on your device, so be sure to manage your storage accordingly.
Downloading Videos with a Shortcut
If you frequently download YouTube videos on your iPhone, you may find it useful to create a shortcut that automates the process. Shortcuts are pre-built actions that can be triggered by a single tap on your iPhone.
To create a shortcut to download YouTube videos, first, download the Shortcuts app from the App Store if you haven’t already. Then, search for a YouTube video downloader shortcut in the Shortcuts Gallery or create your own. Once you have a YouTube video downloader shortcut, you can use it to quickly download videos without having to go through multiple steps.
It’s important to note that creating and using shortcuts may require some technical know-how, and not all YouTube video downloader shortcuts may be reliable or safe. Be sure to research the shortcut and read reviews before using it.
Using a YouTube Premium Subscription
If you have a YouTube Premium subscription, you can download YouTube videos on your iPhone for offline viewing. With a Premium subscription, you can download videos to your device’s storage and watch them without an internet connection.
To download a video with a Premium subscription, open the YouTube app and go to the video you want to download. Tap on the download button below the video player and select the quality you want to download. The video will be downloaded to your device’s storage and can be accessed offline from the “Downloads” section of the YouTube app.
It’s important to note that YouTube Premium subscriptions come with a monthly fee, and not all YouTube videos may be available for download due to copyright restrictions or other reasons.
Downloading Videos with a Computer and iTunes
Another way to download YouTube videos on your iPhone is by using a computer and iTunes. This method involves downloading the YouTube video to your computer and then transferring it to your iPhone using iTunes.
To download a YouTube video with a computer, first, go to the YouTube video you want to download and copy the video link. Then, go to a YouTube video downloader website on your computer, such as SaveFrom.net or Y2Mate.com, and paste the video link. From there, you should be able to download the video to your computer’s storage.
Next, connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable and open iTunes. Select your iPhone from the list of devices in iTunes and go to the “Movies” tab. Drag and drop the downloaded YouTube video into the “Movies” section of iTunes and sync your iPhone. The video should now be available in the “TV” app on your iPhone.
It’s important to note that downloading YouTube videos using third-party websites may be against YouTube’s terms of service, and there is a risk of downloading malicious software or viruses. Be sure to research the website and read reviews before downloading. Additionally, this method requires a computer and iTunes, which may not be convenient for everyone.
