How To Download Video on iPhone Using Safari (iOS 18.1/17.7)

Download the video and import it to the camera roll of your iPhone and iPad. At some point, iPhone sucks, as it doesn’t allow us to download songs except for Apple Music, and even if we download the song, it can only be played from Browser. You cannot access it on your Apple Music app. However, the advantage of this downside is that the iPhone remains protected from third-party applications and malware. Although, nowadays, watching videos on YouTube is irritating because of irregular network connections and paid subscriptions. One second, the video will play properly. On the other second, it will start buffering. To eliminate this issue, why not download the video and import it to the camera roll on Safari using Download Manager without any application?

We are recommending this procedure to download video from the Safari app as it is an evergreen solution. Certain applications offer the same service, but in no time, they are removed by Apple as it violates the App Store Policy. Alongside, downloading the app will waste the storage of your iPhone. Ultimately, this is the best method to Download the video using Download Manager on Safari and import it to the camera roll on the iPhone.

No need to spend money on YouTube Premium because downloading offline videos may ask you to subscribe to YouTube Premium on some channels.
