That being said, downloading music from YouTube is not impossible you just have to find the right way to do it.īefore you jump the gun, read YouTube’s Terms of Services first. This is due to copyright reasons.Įven if you get permission from the creator, there will not be any visible “Download” button for you to proceed. Unfortunately, the site itself won’t let you download any content to your iOS device. It’s totally free! But there will be times when you really want to download music from YouTube to your iPhone. In the past we’ve sometimes found that videos are filed by the date when they were posted to YouTube rather than when they were downloaded, but that appears to have stopped in more recent versions of the app.For people without a subscription to popular music streaming services like Apple Music or Spotify, it’s a good idea to listen to music on YouTube. You can go to Albums, scroll down to Media Types and hit Videos to make it easier to find. Open the Photos app and you’ll see your downloaded video. If you need to change these permissions in future, open the Settings app and tap Privacy > Photos, then tap the entry for Documents and select Read and Write.)

(Depending on your settings and whether you’ve done this before, you may be asked to give Documents permission to access Photos agree to this. Tap and hold the video, and drag it on to the Documents label, and then on to Photo Albums, and finally All Photos or another album of your choice. We’re going to move the video into the Photos app, and this can be done easily by just dragging and dropping. From this section, tap Downloads, and you’ll see downloaded videos complete with thumbnails and more information. To open this you may need to tap the three-line ‘hamburger’ icon at the top left to open the side bar, then hit Documents. Documents has a section called, well, Documents.
