When you switch from Android to iOS, the first and foremost question you may get is, ‘Can I download Videos on iPhone from the Internet?’ The answer to your question is a strong YES. When we don’t have a high number of apps and the technology, there are fewer chances to get the huge tasks done.

In short, you can download YouTube videos on iPhone/iPad with few taps and you don’t need a computer to finish the work. Apart from YouTube, you can try Instagram, Vimeo, Facebook etc. and watch your favourite videos when you don’t have access to the Internet.

  1. I tried and was able to download two videos thru document app and open savefrom.net then paste the link from you tube. However on my third attempt when I press download, it opens to a new URL page with some “amazon winner” thing. How can I stop that it keeps popping out different URL page?

    • Extremely sorry for that. I even don’t have control over that website. It a thrid-party service involved. Please just close the pop-up that you get until you see the video that you would like to download. Thank you!
