Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
It is no secret that the iPhone and the iPad are the most popular smartphone and tablet respectively. You could argue that Samsung has impressive sales and is almost at par with Apple but in regards to sheer dominance or superiority, the South Korea based conglomerate bows down to the American tech juggernaut. YouTube is indisputably the most popular video hosting and sharing site in the world. It doesn’t help that YouTube is owned by Google, the search engine giant that also owns Android which powers all popular Samsung smartphones at the moment. As a result, what you get is a tad incompatible with YouTube and iPhone or iPad. Downloading YouTube videos is very simple if you are using an Android smartphone or a Windows computer. It is not so when you are using an iPhone, iPad or even a Mac.

Fortunately, there are ways you can download YouTube videos to iPhone or iPad, and we aren’t talking about YouTube’s promise of offline video streaming. Here is a complete guide.
Note: We resolutely oppose all forms of copyright-infringing downloads. This tutorial is only for downloading YouTube videos/audio materials from your own channel.
First, you need a video downloader
You need a third party app which is approved by Apple and available in App Store. There are quite a few free video downloader apps that you can check. But do make sure that the app is active or usable right now. Apple is a tad infamous for deleting some of the apps from its store from time to time. If that happens after you have installed and started using a video downloader, then you can just remove it and opt for another. Most of these free video downloader apps will save your videos within the app. Some would add them to the videos in your Camera Roll. You can use AirPlay to watch the videos if you have an Apple TV. The videos saved by downloader apps will not be found in the native Videos app of iPhone or iPad. When you search for such apps, use ‘video downloader’ or ‘YouTube downloader’ as the keywords.
Find a suitable app, download it for free and install it
Some of the downloader apps will have premium or pro versions. You don’t need to pay before you have used the free or basic version. Once installed, start the app. Most of these apps have a built-in browser which should allow you to access YouTube. In most cases, you would get to m.youtube.com. If there is no default address, then save the mobile version of YouTube as the default URL. On iPad, you can go for <www.youtube.com>.
Downloading Youtube videos to iPhone or iPad
In all likelihood, you are familiar with how YouTube works. Search for a video that you wish to download, pick the one you want from the search results and it would automatically start to play. In some cases, you may have to click the play button or tap on the video thumbnail for it to start playing. As the video begins to stream or buffer, you would find an icon of the app, usually bobbing or hovering over the screen playing the video. You can tap on this icon, which could be a disk sign or the logo of the app. As you tap on it, you would have a popup that will prompt you to download the video that you are watching.
Depending on the app you are using, the download may begin immediately after tapping on the download icon or there can be another step, which will perhaps show you the list of downloading videos or videos that you have downloaded already. If the download doesn’t start immediately, there could be another button to initiate the download. Tap on it and you are done. The download would be automated and you don’t need to do anything else. You can also have your iPhone or iPad in sleep mode and the download would be completed, as long as there is an active internet connection. You can also see the progress made. Once the download or downloads are complete, you would get a notification. The video downloaded would be within the app’s video library or in your files.
Some apps rename the videos that are being downloaded so it is best you opt for a title or a name that will help you to recognize the video immediately. Other apps will keep the name of the video that appears on YouTube.
Almost all video downloader apps for iPhone and iPad will allow you to watch these videos offline. Some apps may need an internet connection to open but the videos saved will not require any internet to be played and replayed.
Given the fact that there are many video downloader apps and you cannot be sure of the experience of any, you will have to indulge in a bit of trial and error to find the best one.

How to Post a YouTube Video on Instagram
Sharing YouTube videos to Instagram directly isn’t possible yet, and for that reason, if you want to feature YouTube videos on your Instagram you’ll have to go through a three-step process. However, this process is fairly simple, although some methods may be more complex than others and require you to spend a considerable amount of time on downloading and editing the files you want to share on your Instagram account.
- Step 1: Download Videos from YouTube
- Step 2: Edit and Convert Your Files
- Step 3: Upload the Videos to Instagram
Step 1: Download Videos from YouTube
In order to post a YouTube video to Instagram, you have to download the video you want to share, adjust it to the platform’s video requirements, and then finally upload it.
1. Downloading YouTube video to your PC
There are several different methods you can use to download a YouTube video to your computer, but using websites such as ClipConverter , Zamzar , or OnlineVideoConverter that enable you to download and convert video files is probably one of the easiest and fastest ways to achieve your goal.
- Choose one of the reliable online downloaders mentioned above and simply paste the video’s URL into its input box.
- Figure out which video format you’d like to convert the YouTube video and MP4 file extension is advised because it is most frequently used for Instagram videos.
- The online converter will either enable you to download the files directly to a hard drive on your PC or to send the links of the converted video files to your email.
2. Downloading YouTube videos to a mobile device
Download instructions for iPhones: The process of downloading videos from YouTube with iPhones or iPads is not very simple because you’ll have to go through several stages of the process before you can view the video file from your device.
- After installing the Documents 6 app, launch the app and use its web browser, an icon that looks like a compass, to navigate to theSavefrom.net .
- You can copy the link of the YouTube video, by launching the YouTube app on your iPhone, accessing the Share option, and selecting the Copy Link feature. Alternatively, you can launch the Safari web browser on your device, play the YouTube video you’d like to download, and copy the URL of the video you’d like to download.
- After you’ve copied the YouTube link, head back to the Documents 6 app and paste the link to the input box on the Savefrom.net window, you’ve already opened in the Documents 6 app. You’ll be able to choose from several size options, like 1280p or 480p.
- Select the file size that best suits the purpose for which you are going to use the video, and then proceed to tap on the Download option, and select Done to start downloading the YouTube video file.
- Go to the Downloads menu in the Documents 6 app and locate the video you just downloaded. Tap and hold the file, and drag it upward until you spot the folder list. Access the Photos app from the folder list and place the file in the Camera Roll.

Download instructions for Android devices: YouTube video files are much easier to download from Android Smartphones since you can find a number of different apps that will enable you to download the files you want to share directly from YouTube.
However, Google, like Apple isn’t too keen on apps that let you download YouTube videos freely, which is the reason why you’ll have to spend some time looking for the right app.
If you have trouble finding the right app for the job on Google Play you can try getting TubeMate from the app’s official website.

Step 2: Edit and Convert the Files to Meet Instagram’s Video Requirements
As you probably know the maximum duration of a video on Instagram is limited to one minute, which means that you’ll probably have to cut the parts of a YouTube video you downloaded in order to be able to post it on your Instagram account.
This process will be much easier if you use a PC or Mac-based video editing software like Wondershare Filmora because changing the video file extension or the duration of a video will be much quicker and simpler than if you opt to use some of thevideo editing apps that are available for iPhones and Android Smartphones.
However, if you would still like to go through the process of editing the YouTube video you’d like to post on Instagram directly from the Smartphone you can use apps like iMovie , Videoshop, orFilmora to change the duration of the video.
Altering the file extension of a video to commonly used mp4 files and the size of 1080 pixels X 566 pixels may prove to be a little more complicated than it would be with a PC or Mac-based video editing software.
Step 3: Upload the video to Instagram
Here comes the final step of posting YouTube videos to Instagram. The file you want to post should be already placed on your Camera Roll, so you just need to launch the Instagram app from your Android phone or iPhone and click on the + icon located on the app’s toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Select the Library option, and tap on the video file you’d like to post to your Instagram account. Click on Next and proceed to add a description to your post as well as tags that will enable your video to reach a wider audience.
It is important to keep in mind that posting YouTube videos you don’t have permission to use on your Instagram account is not advisable because copyright infringement is a serious offense that may result in severe penalties.
Being unique and producing the content specifically made for Instagram is a much better and much safer option at this point until Instagram decides to make sharing YouTube videos a simple process that requires you to just click on the Share button below the YouTube video you want to share to Instagram.
The video tutorial below shows you how to edit and export video clips for sharing on Instagram. Watch it and learn how to add extra filters and visual effects to make it more fantastic.

This process will be much easier if you use a PC or Mac-based video editing software like Wondershare Filmora because changing the video file extension or the duration of a video will be much quicker and simpler than if you opt to use some of thevideo editing apps that are available for iPhones and Android Smartphones.
However, if you would still like to go through the process of editing the YouTube video you’d like to post on Instagram directly from the Smartphone you can use apps like iMovie , Videoshop, orFilmora to change the duration of the video.
Altering the file extension of a video to commonly used mp4 files and the size of 1080 pixels X 566 pixels may prove to be a little more complicated than it would be with a PC or Mac-based video editing software.
Step 3: Upload the video to Instagram
Here comes the final step of posting YouTube videos to Instagram. The file you want to post should be already placed on your Camera Roll, so you just need to launch the Instagram app from your Android phone or iPhone and click on the + icon located on the app’s toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Select the Library option, and tap on the video file you’d like to post to your Instagram account. Click on Next and proceed to add a description to your post as well as tags that will enable your video to reach a wider audience.
It is important to keep in mind that posting YouTube videos you don’t have permission to use on your Instagram account is not advisable because copyright infringement is a serious offense that may result in severe penalties.
Being unique and producing the content specifically made for Instagram is a much better and much safer option at this point until Instagram decides to make sharing YouTube videos a simple process that requires you to just click on the Share button below the YouTube video you want to share to Instagram.
