Downloading YouTube videos on iOS is harder than you think it would be. It\u2019s easy on a desktop OS but there aren\u2019t any reliable apps that do the job and web apps don\u2019t work that well on iOS. Thankfully, there are Shortcuts that make it easier. You have to find one that works well enough to take the pain out of the whole process and we recommend Just Another YouTube Downloader.<\/strong> It can download YouTube videos as videos, or just the audio. The videos can be saved to the Photos app\/camera roll, and the audio files are saved to the Files app.<\/p>\n

Download the Just Another YouTube Downloader shortcut. It\u2019s not available in the Shortcuts gallery which means it\u2019s from an untrusted source. You will have to allow shortcuts from untrusted sources from the Settings app.<\/p>\n

Once the shortcut has been installed, you need to open a YouTube video. You can do this from the YouTube app or in any browser on your device. Tap the share button and then tap \u2018More\u2019 from the action sheet. Select JAYD.<\/p>\n

You will be redirected to the shortcut and asked to pick how you want to download the video i.e., as a video or an audio file. It gets a little slow here; the shortcut will now download the video. The \u2018Network\u2019 step will show you the download progress. Once the file has downloaded, you will be able to preview it i.e., play the video or the audio file. Tap the share button on the preview screen and save it. If it\u2019s a video, the share options will have an option to save it to the camera roll, and an audio file will have an option to save it to the Files app.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a way to move the audio file to the Music app, you\u2019re out of luck. There\u2019s no way to add music or audio files to the Music app unless you use iTunes or Finder.<\/p>\n

This shortcut requires that you\u2019re running iOS 13 so while older versions of iOS have the Shortcuts app, this shortcut won\u2019t work on them. That\u2019s not a lot of devices since the iPhone 6S and later can all be updated to iOS 13.<\/p>\n

The shortcut works but it can be a bit unreliable with downloading videos as audio files. If you run the shortcut and it takes you back to the YouTube app or your browser, you\u2019re going to have to run it again. The download only happens when the Shortcut app is in focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
