Now that we have YouTube on our mobile devices, we can now watch videos in places we never thought possible a few years ago. Unfortunately, YouTube does need an internet connection to stream videos to your device, and you may not have access to Wi-Fi or the cellular network. But if you plan a little ahead, you can download videos to your device when you do have an Internet connection, and then watch them later, even without an Internet connection.

Method 1 of 3: Download videos on iPhone or iPad

1. Launch the App Store. You cannot download videos directly from Safari or the YouTube app, so you need another app from the App Store to download videos to your iOS device.
2. Install an app to download videos. Type Video Downloader in the search field and view the results. There are many apps with similar names that offer similar functions. In this article, we use Video Downloader Lite Super - Vdownload by George Young app. If you found it, download and install the app.
   • There are many such apps in the App Store, so choose which one you want to use.
   • Apps to download videos are not supported by YouTube, so they are sometimes removed from the App Store. In that case you can choose a different app.
3. Launch the app you installed. Find the app on your device and start the app.
4. Go to YouTube. Find the browser in the app and type youtube.com in the address bar to go to YouTube.
5. Search for a video. Search YouTube for a video you want to download and play the video. When a menu appears with the option to download the video, select "Download", name the file and tap "Save". You can also open the menu by tapping and holding the center of the video image.
6. View your downloaded video. You can find your downloaded videos in the "Files" section.

3. Copy the web address of the video. Tap and hold the address, then select "Copy" to copy the address from the video.

Tap "Paste" to paste the previously copied video address into the box.
