To download YouTube videos to your iPhone 7 for free, you can follow these steps:
1. Install a third-party app: You can’t directly download YouTube videos from the official YouTube app, so you’ll need to download a third-party app that allows video downloads. One popular app is called Documents by Readdle, which not only lets you download videos but also acts as a file manager.
2. Open the App Store: Go to the App Store on your iPhone 7 and search for “Documents by Readdle”. Once you find it, tap on “Get” to download and install the app.
3. Launch the Documents app: Once the app is installed, launch it from your home screen. It will have a blue folder icon with a white paper inside.
4. Enable the built-in browser: Within the Documents app, tap on the Safari-like icon in the bottom-right corner to open the built-in browser.
5. Visit a YouTube video downloader website: In the browser, go to a YouTube video downloader website like y2mate.com or savefrom.net. These websites allow you to enter the YouTube video URL and download it in different formats.
6. Copy the YouTube video URL: Open the YouTube app and find the video you want to download. Tap on the share button below the video and then select “Copy Link” to copy the video’s URL.
7. Paste the URL in the downloader website: Go back to the browser within the Documents app and paste the YouTube video URL into the text field on the downloader website. Then, tap on the download button.
8. Choose the download format: The downloader website will provide you with different video quality options and formats. Select the one you prefer and tap on the download button next to it.
9. Download the video: After tapping the download button, the video will start downloading. You can monitor the progress by going to the “Downloads” section within the Documents app.
10. Access the downloaded video: Once the download is complete, the video will be saved in the Downloads folder within the Documents app. To access it, tap on the folder icon in the bottom-right corner of the app, then select “Downloads”.
11. Move the video to your Camera Roll: To save the downloaded video to your iPhone’s Camera Roll, tap and hold on the video file, then select “Move” from the options that appear. Choose the “Photos” folder and then tap on “Move” again.
12. Access the video in your Photos app: Open the Photos app on your iPhone 7, and you should find the downloaded YouTube video in your Camera Roll. From there, you can play, share, or edit the video as you would with any other video on your device.
Remember, downloading YouTube videos goes against YouTube’s terms of service, so proceed at your own risk. Additionally, be mindful of copyright laws and only download videos that you have the right to access and use.
