The original iPhone was invented by Cisco Systems, but later Apple claimed ownership over the name iPhone. Today, iOS is the most popular operating system with 16% of the market.

So it isn’t surprising that we expect a lot when it comes to iPhone functions. This article shows ways to download your favourite videos from youtube to the phone. 

When downloading apps for your smartphone or tablet, never download them from unreliable sources. Always download them from the official app store that comes with your device!

To iPhone Camera Roll 

YouTube has massively grown in popularity over the years. 

If you own an iPhone chances are you spend some time watching your favourite youtube videos, however, YouTube viewing relies on an internet connection and you may want to download your favourites so you can view them whenever you like. 

Thankfully you are able to save your YouTube videos to your iPhone or iPad camera roll. You’ll be able to play the videos later even if there isn’t an internet connection. You can download videos to your camera roll by using the iOS app called iExplorer.

This app allows you to access all of your photos and videos without having to use iTunes because Apple sometimes removes them after some time, you should be careful when installing them.

Fortunately, there is a simple workaround using a browser.

You can install the app for free and it’s called READLE. It’s a file manager with an integrated web browser, which makes it handy to download YouTube videos and transfer them to the camera roll. 

Go to the documents app and select the file. Then, go to the share option and choose the copy link. Tap the Browser icon in the lower right corner to open the app’s built-in browser.

Search Google for “Btclod X2 Download” to find a site that downloads YouTube videos.

Moving The Videos 

Now you’ve moved the video into the Photos app. You can view it by tapping the photo icon in the upper left corner of the screen. To get to the document, tap the folder icon at the bottom left corner of the app.

Open the Downloads folder, then open the folder where you saved the video. Press the ellipsis icon above the file you just downloaded. Choose move if you wish to.

Online Converter

If you want to watch YouTube videos offline, you need a converter. There are lots of different converters to choose from and some support batch conversion and downloads. What are the advantages of using a converter?

Loader  is a great site to download videos from YouTube. You can use this site without registering. This site allows you to download videos from YouTube with your iPhone or iPad.

It’s a simple process, just select the video you want to download and click the Download button.

Snappea is an excellent converter tool for downloading videos from YouTube. You can also use it as a search engine to find any specific video you want.

Airy is another popular converter. It#s super versatile and offers many features such as playlist downloads, conversion to audio and 3GP, subtitle downloads, large-scale video saving and parallel downloading.

In addition, you can have low-definition and HD depending on your preference. You can even use the browser integration feature for ultimate convenience. 

Safari 

To use any shortcut in Safari, just tap the Share button, then tap the Shortcut icon. A panel will open up with any available shortcuts. Tap the one you want, then sit back and enjoy watching it as if it were any other video file.

In Summary

Keeping all your videos in one place saves time and utilises the smart features of Apple devices.
