Apple has blocked applications that openly claim to download YouTube videos to iPhone or iPad. However, this is still possible in iOS 9. Our step-by-step guide will show you how you can download YouTube videos on iOS. YouTube promised to introduce offline video viewing, but this became possible only with a paid subscription to the YouTube Red service, which also disables ads, but is only available so far in the US.

First way. Download using Documents 5

Launch the App Store app on your device and search for the free app " Documents 5 ".

After installation, launch it and tap the icon in the lower right corner that looks like Safari (compass) icon .

A web browser will open and search for " savefromnet ". Follow the link " ru.savefrom.net " in the search results.

Step 2. Open the movie in the program

You need to get the URL of the YouTube video you want to download. The easiest way is to launch the YouTube app.

Open the video you want and wait until the advertisement ends and the video starts. Then tap the video to bring up the menu and tap the Share icon (rounded arrow). Then copy the link by clicking on the appropriate chain icon (“ Copy Link ”). Now go back to the “ Documents 5 ” application and click on the white box to select it. Press again to bring up the clipboard menu and tap Paste to paste the previously copied URL into the desired video.

Step 3. Download the video

Click on the green checkmark, in the list that opens, select the desired video quality. Click on the green Download button. Then confirm the start of the download if it doesn't start automatically. It is preferable to download videos over Wi-Fi instead of 3G or 4G.

Step 4. Find the downloaded video on your device

Once downloaded, the video will appear in the Downloads section of the Documents 5 application. You can save this video to the Camera Roll folder on your iPhone or iPad (not the default "Videos" app, unfortunately).

To do this, touch and hold the video, then move and hold until you see a list of folders. While continuing to hold, move it to the Photos folder and then to the Camera Roll . You can now open the Photos application and watch the video .

Second way. Youtube converter

If you are tired of constantly copying and pasting video links and switching between applications, there is an easier way to download videos if you have a PC or MAC using Softorino's YouTube Converter . YouTube Converter website and download the version you need - for Windows or Mac. Run the program after installation and, when prompted, enter your email address to receive the activation key. Copy it from the letter and the program will be unblocked.

Connect your phone or tablet to your computer and confirm permission on the device if necessary.

Step 2. Converting

Now open your browser and copy the link to the YouTube video you want to download. The video will automatically appear in YouTube Converter . You can copy multiple links to create a download queue for your iPhone or iPad.

Then you need to select the video quality. Although you can even specify 4K, it makes more sense to choose 720p or 1080p as no 4K iPhone or iPad yet.

Click on the “ Convert and Transfer to iPhone ” button and the video will be downloaded and copied to the “ Videos ” app on your iPhone. This may take some time, so it's best to download the videos you want in advance.
