If you like to rewatch your favourite YouTube videos several times, downloading them beforehand should save you some precious bandwidth.
Sure, you could sign up for the monthly YouTube Premium subscription, but the one drawback is that the stored videos stay on your phone only as long as your membership is active.
The following is a guide on saving your favourite videos from YouTube to your iPhone‘s gallery so you can watch them offline hassle-free.
VideProc
VideoProc Converter is the best among all available free downloaders. It can convert movies to practically any format, like MP4, MP3, AVI,3GP, WAV, M4A, WMA, OGG, and more, while keeping the original soundtrack and captions.
It caters to the needs of its users and is easy to navigate. Just insert a video or playlist URL, analyze it, select a file type and resolution, and then hit the “Download” button to download the contents to your chosen location.
Along with downloading, you can edit videos quickly by cutting, cropping, rotating, splitting, adjusting the pace, adding subtitles, etc.
The cherry on top is that you can download numerous videos at once, whole playlists, and even record live broadcasts.
Other Solutions
Downloadable iPhone applications that allow users to save videos from YouTube are short-lived. Beware of using any since Apple will likely discontinue support for them shortly.
Luckily, transferring movies from YouTube to your iPhone remains a simple process. There is a simple solution as long as you can access a browser.
Quick Tip: Apple removed the Camera Roll subfolder on iPhones after the iOS 13 update. The Recent subfolder in the Pictures app’s Albums section has taken its place. You can now use this approach to view videos from YouTube in the Photos app.
Step 1.
It would be best if you started by downloading a free document reading program from the app store. Ideally, it would help to look for a file manager with a built-in web browser, as it would be easier to download content and move it directly to your gallery—
Step 2.
After copying the video link, go to the Files app you downloaded from the app store. The first time you launch the app, you’ll probably have to go through a brief tutorial, but ignore the prompt asking for a premium upgrade and continue the process—
Step 3.
To use the integrated app browser, hit the Browser logo in the bottom right corner while in the files app. The next step is to visit a website like Btclod or X2Download that allows you to save films from YouTube.
If any of those links stop functioning, try searching Google for “similar services” to discover an alternative.

The Downloading Process
Add the Youtube link by tapping within the Search area on the download site and then selecting Paste.
Tap the “next” button to choose your preferred resolution before converting the video.
In a while, the page where you uploaded your movie should populate with download links. You can download only the audio from specific sites, or you may have to download the whole video from others (MP3). Choose the desired quality by tapping “Video” or a similar button.
The 480p version of the movie below is about 20MB in size, whereas the 1080p version takes up roughly 95MB.
You can download the video by clicking the Download button when it is ready. Selecting this brings up a Documents menu where you can choose where and how to store the file.
Consider renaming the file to something more concise or evocative. Suppose you wish to have subsequent downloads automatically saved to the same folder; you can use the “Ask me next time” option to the off position. Unless you have a specific reason to change your download location, saving to My Files/Downloads is the best default option.
Just hit the Done button to save the video from YouTube to your iPhone. You may access the Downloads button for updates on the Documents app’s bottom toolbar.
Pro Tip: Instead of paying for YouTube Premium, you may utilize a desktop YouTube downloader to save time. After the films have been converted on the computer, you may transfer them to the iPhone using the included USB cord or other wireless techniques.
If that doesn’t work, a clunky but workable alternative is to record the video from your iPhone’s display as it’s playing. The downside is that you have to watch the whole video. Video quality is likewise subpar.
The Takeaway
Most individuals benefit from saving their photos and videos to the Camera roll since this makes them readily available without requiring data transfer from another phone.
If you’re looking for entertainment but need help with what to download, YouTube has much to offer; ensure you subscribe to the top channels and stay updated with the latest content trends.
Conclusion
Hopefully, by now you’re aware of the how-to steps to download YouTube videos to your iPhone camera roll.
