Steps to downloading videos from YouTube to iPhone

The first thing to understand is that you’d need an application to be able to download videos from YouTube, and while most iOS apps can’t download videos from the internet (even if they wanted), there is one such app that can allow you do it.

It’s called Documents by Readdle, and it’s apparently a file managing app. This app is important in your quest to download videos from YouTube, and that’s because it has an in-app browser.

Find your way to the YouTube video you wish to download, and copy its link (you can do that by clicking on Share, and then select Copy Link).

Once the link is copied, head back to the Documents app; access its built-in browser (Just click on the icon located at the bottom-right corner), and browse any website that can download YouTube videos – like BitDownloader.

On the website, paste the YouTube link you copied (in a field that says Enter the Video Link) and tap the Download button.

Wait a few minutes for the site to generate download links for your videos; once that’s done, scroll down (past all the ads) until you see Download without Sound. Tap on the Download button (next to the quality you’d like to save the video in) and get it going.

Once the video has been downloaded, you’d have to move it to your Camera Roll folder. Tap on the Folder icon in the bottom-right corner of the app, and open the Download folder (where you can find the video you just downloaded).

Move the file from there to your Photos folder (just tap on that ellipse shaped icon under the file and choose Move. Locate your Photos folder, and Move to Photos.

And that’s just about it; you would now have your downloaded video appearing in your Photos, as well as in the Videos folder on the Album tab.
