In today’s world of endless video content, it’s not uncommon to come across a video on YouTube that you’d like to save for later viewing. However, saving a video directly to your iPhone’s camera roll is not always a straightforward process. In this tutorial, we’ll explore different methods for saving YouTube videos to your iPhone camera roll.
Method 1: Using a Third-Party App
One of the easiest ways to save a YouTube video to your iPhone camera roll is by using a third-party app. There are many apps available on the App Store that allow you to download and save YouTube videos directly onto your device.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Step 1: Download and Install the ‘Documents’ App from the App Store
- Step 2: Open the ‘Documents’ app and tap on the compass icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Step 3: In the search bar, type in ‘savefrom.net’ and hit enter.
- Step 4: Once you’re on savefrom.net, paste the link of the YouTube video you want to download into the search bar.
- Step 5: Select “Download” and then choose HD or SD quality based on your preference.
- Step 6: After downloading, select “Save Video” option which will save it directly in your Camera Roll.
Alternatively, you can also use other third-party apps like Video Saver Pro or MyMedia which work similarly.
Method 2: Using Shortcuts
Another way to save a YouTube video onto your iPhone camera roll is by using Shortcuts. The Shortcuts app allows users to create custom shortcuts that automate tasks on their iPhone.
Here are some steps to follow:
- Step 1: Download and install the ‘Shortcuts’ app from the App Store.
- Step 2: Open Safari and find the YouTube video you want to save. Copy its URL.
- Step 3: Open the Shortcuts app and tap on the ‘+’ icon located at the top right corner of the screen.
- Step 4: Select ‘Add Action’ and search for ‘Get URLs from Input’ action.
- Step 5: Tap on ‘Add Action’ again and search for ‘Get Contents of URL’ action.
- Step 6: Paste the copied YouTube video URL in the URL field in this action step.
- Step 7: Tap on ‘Add Action’ and search for ‘Save File’ action.
Choose a location where you want to save your video, select your preferred quality, and then tap on ‘Done. ‘
Once you’ve completed these steps, run your newly created shortcut. The YouTube video will download directly onto your iPhone camera roll.
Conclusion
By using either third-party apps or shortcuts, downloading YouTube videos onto your iPhone camera roll has never been easier. It’s crucial to note that downloading videos without permission is illegal, so ensure that you have permission before saving any content offline.
With these methods at your disposal, you can now enjoy watching your favorite videos on YouTube anytime, anywhere without internet connection.
