How to download YouTube videos to iPhone

If you want to download your favorite videos to your iPhone, you will have to get a third-party app first. There have been many apps available in the App Store over the years, but many of them have been removed. When a new app shows up, it will be there for some period of time, and again – it will be removed, same as all similar ones. Why is that? Let’s briefly explain it.

Users do not have the permission to watch YouTube videos offline using one of third-party apps. As you probably know, YouTube belongs to Google. Google, and those who post the videos on YouTube are allowed to add ads to earn the money, and if you are watching videos offline, using a third-party app you will prevent them to earn that money. People who have Android devices are also wondering how to download videos, but they won’t find third-party apps in the Play Store to download the videos they want from this video-sharing site. On the other hand, those who own iOS devices may find these kinds of apps in the App Store. Unfortunately, the App Store will remove them after a while.

Before we explain how to download YouTube videos to iPhone, we must point out one very important thing, you should keep in mind. When you download a video from the site, it must be for personal use only.
