How to download videos from Safari on iPhone and iPad

Contrary to popular belief, it’s easy to download videos on iPhone and iPad using Safari. In this tutorial, we will show you how to save video files locally to your iPhone Camera Roll and the Files app for offline viewing.

Download video on iPhone using Safari browser

What videos can you download on iPhone?

In almost all chat apps like Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc., you can download the videos people send you and view them inside that messaging app or export them to your iPhone’s Photos app.

Social apps

Most social media apps like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook don’t allow easy saving of video clips to the Camera Roll. However, some free video downloader apps from the App Store, iOS shortcuts, and third-party websites let you save videos from these social platforms to your iPhone. Have a look:

  • 6 ways to download Twitter videos on your iPhone
  • How to download Instagram Reels without watermark for free
  • How to download Facebook videos and photos

The YouTube app has a video downloader option, and the only legal way to download YouTube videos is by tapping the download button inside the official app. The saved video stays sandboxed in the YouTube app from where you can watch it without an internet connection, but you can’t transfer it to the iPhone Camera Roll.

In about 125 countries and regions like India, Israel, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, and Vietnam, you can download most YouTube videos in the app for offline viewing – no YouTube Premium is required.

However, in countries like the USA, the UK, Australia, France, Italy, and more, you must have a Premium subscription to download YouTube videos .

You can browse websites using Apple’s Safari and search for the video you want to download. Some sites may offer an easy way to download the video, while others may have no such option, and when you tap the video, it starts playing in Safari with no visible button to save the video file. But worry not, as we will show you how to address this. These tips won’t work for all websites but should cover most of them.

How to download videos on iPhone and iPad

1) Open Safari and find the video on the concerned website. For this tutorial, I’m using Pixabay , which is a library of royalty-free stock footage.

2) Once you’re on the video page, tap the download button or link . If you don’t see a download button, jump to the next section .

3) After you tap the video download icon on a website in Safari, you should see an iOS pop-up menu with two options – View and Download . Tap Download , and it will save the file. You’ll notice that the Safari address bar now has a tiny arrow icon with a circular blue progress bar signifying the download status.

4) Tap Safari’s  arrow icon and pick Downloads  to get to the download manager, which lists the downloaded files. These files are saved in a folder inside the Files app .

But you can easily add them to your iPhone’s Camera Roll using one of these two ways:

Save video: Tap the video file > share button > Save Video.

Save downloaded video to Camera Roll

Drag & drop: Tap and hold the video file, and its tile will slightly lift. Drag it a bit from its original position to detach it, but don’t lift your finger yet. Now, swipe up (or press the Home button) using your other hand to get to your iPhone Home Screen. From here, open the Photos app and make sure you’re inside Recents or an album. Finally, drop the video file by lifting your finger. You’ll see that the video is now added to the Photos app.

Drag and drop downloaded video to Photos app

Another method to save a video file using Safari on iOS

As mentioned earlier, not all websites offer a download button. But for a video, you will see a play button, and tapping it starts playing the video inside Safari. So, if you find yourself on such a website, play the video and then follow these steps:

1) On the Safari video player, tap the Picture in Picture button , which will detach the video and put it inside a small floating window. It won’t work if you tap the Picture in Picture button directly on the web page video player, like that on Vimeo.

2) Tap the share button from the video player screen.

3) Pick Save to Files > select iCloud or On My iPhone > Save .

Download video to iPhone Files app from Safari using the share button

Don’t see the share button in step 2?

In the left screenshot, you see a video playing/streaming on a web page. And in the right image, you see a video file starting to play inside the default Safari media player.

Video playing on webpage and in Safari player on iPhone

If a video is embedded on the website, it generally plays on that same web page (left image above) and doesn’t launch the video player inside Safari. If this is the case, you won’t be able to download the video unless you look for third-party sites that can save such videos. For example, tapping a video on Twitter starts playing it in the browser and you can’t download it directly from Safari, but you can use a site like Twitter Video Downloader in Safari , which will grab the Twitter video, play it in Safari video player (right image above) and let you save the file.

On some sites, tapping the triangle play button over the video may start playing it on the webpage, making it impossible to download. Hopefully, you can address this by looking for a View , Download , or Play button, which loads the actual video file and starts playing it inside the Safari video player. Once the file is in the Safari video player, enter Picture in Picture, and tap the share button > Save to Files.

Find downloaded files on an iPhone or iPad

You will find the downloaded video in the following places:

Inside Safari: Tap the downloads button in the URL bar, hit Downloads , and you’ll see the video file.

In the Camera Roll: Open the Photos app and tap Recents from the Albums tab.

In the Files app: Open the Files app and tap Recents to see the video. You can also tap Browse and look for the video in the downloads folder. From the Files app, tap & hold a video thumbnail and then choose Share > Save Video to add it to the Photos app.

Export video from the Files app to iPhone Camera Roll

This is how you can download video files on your iOS or iPadOS device. Not all websites allow video downloads. But in many situations, you can use the above methods to save it locally and watch it offline without a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

How to Download Videos From Safari on iPhone and iPad

Darryl Dsouza

While on the internet, we often come across videos that we would like to save for offline viewing or sharing. However, downloading videos from the Safari browser is challenging. Also, most social media websites (where many users come across these videos) lack a built-in option to download videos nor allow users to download videos.

We’ve compiled a guide to help you learn how to download videos from Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Also remember that while you can download videos from the internet, make sure it is for personal use and refrain from sharing elsewhere. We’ll talk more about this, later in the article. 

Steps to Download Videos From Safari on iPhone and iPad

Please ensure that you only download videos from websites that allow users to download videos. Planning to repurpose the content? Before doing that check whether the videos are royalty free. All I’m trying to convey is that avoid trouble by following the legalities. 

To demonstrate the process, we’ll be using the Pixabay website which has thousands of free stock videos shared by the community members.

Time needed:  3 minutes

Steps to download videos from Safari on your iPhone and iPad.

Tap Download button in Safari

Alternatively, you can tap and hold on to the video, drag it to the Photos app, and directly save it to your iPhone or iPad. 

Where are the Downloaded Videos Stored on iPhone and iPad?

The videos you download are saved to the Photos and the Files app. Navigating to download videos in the Photos app is quite easy. You can find it in the Albums > Recents . However, if you want to locate it in the Files app, follow the steps mentioned below. 

1. Open the Files app on your iPhone or iPad. 

2. Head to the Browse tab and tap the iCloud Drive option. 

3. Now tap on the Downloads folder and you’ll find the downloaded videos in this tab. 

Where are the Downloaded Videos Stored on iPhone and iPad

Download Videos from Social Media Apps and Websites 

Downloading videos from social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, etc., might not be ethical or even legal. Especially, if you want to download and share these videos or use the content in your videos, etc.

Coming to YouTube, it allows users to download videos for offline viewing within the app. These videos will not appear in the Photos or Files app and can only be accessed on YouTube. You might need a YouTube Premium subscription for some videos and resolutions (This is region specific). We have a guide that will help you download YouTube videos on your iPhone or iPad .

Now, if you upload your videos to YouTube (to store them privately as backup), then downloading these videos shouldn’t be a problem. You can look up websites that allow you to download videos from YouTube. However, please refrain from downloading videos from other creators and using them as it will come under copyright infringement laws. 

On the other hand, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media websites do not allow users to download videos even within their apps. So, if you’re looking to download a video from Twitter you can check out our detailed guide to download Twitter videos on your iPhone .

If you want to download Instagram reels or videos, you can use websites like Snapinsta , Save Insta , etc. Again, please ensure that you do not circulate these videos or repurpose the content as it can land you in trouble. 

Download Videos From Safari With Ease

We hope you’ve learned how to download videos from Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Now that you’re aware of the steps, ensure that you do not download and use the content. And, if you intend to do so, please pay the royalties or take the necessary permissions from the original creators. 

If you have any doubts regarding downloading videos from Safari on iPhone or iPad, let us know in the comments below. 

Open the video in Safari > tap Download > tap the Download Icon in the address bar > select Downloads > play the video > tap Share > Tap Save Video.

How to Download Videos on iPhone: The Ultimate Guide

52% of Apple’s $365 billion revenue came from iPhone sales in 2021. With those kinds of statistics, it’s no wonder you see more people milling around with an iPhone in their hands.

While most use their smartphones for work, these devices offer so much more. Phones have become one way to take your mind off things by using it to watch videos on your iPhone, for example.

Nothing can be more frustrating than watching a video on your iPhone and suddenly encountering that buffer circle. You may often find yourself wondering how to download videos on iPhone so the watching experience will be smoother.

Before Downloading Videos on iPhone

How to Download Videos on iPhone The Ultimate Guide Supcase UB Exo

A few things need to be established before we get into the various downloading tips and before you go ahead and download media.

Is It Possible?

Some may wonder whether it’s even possible to download videos on iPhone. The consensus is that these things are reserved for Android devices. But the answer is yes! You most certainly can download videos on iPhone and even on iPad.  

Thanks to the various software updates, Apple now gives users more freedom like downloading videos straight from Safari. 

Previously, iPhone users couldn’t download content straight from the native browser without using a third-party downloading app. Now, Safari can download videos and store them in the Files app which has also been revamped. Files now has a dedicated download section that allows you to store and manage your downloads as you see fit.   

Is It Safe and Legal?

The next question most wonder is whether or not it’s safe and legal to download content to your iPhone. 

While it can be safe, it’s not always necessarily ethical and legal. If you upload videos to sites like YouTube and Instagram, you can freely download them with no fear of copyright infringement. But, if you download other people’s videos, that’s where you can get into some trouble.

Copyright laws can be hard to understand. In simple terms, you may not be breaking the law if you simply download the videos, but if you sell them or reproduce the content, you’d definitely be breaking those laws.

In terms of safety, one doesn’t always think to protect the content of their phones. Most opt for stylish,  protective phone cases , screen protectors, and  other accessories , forgetting to safeguard their personal data.

Always be wary of downloading media from unknown websites. You could accidentally download a virus that could either make your data vulnerable or your phone unusable.

If you do download videos on Safari, make sure to only do so from trusted media consumption websites.

Do You Have Enough Space on Your iPhone?

Do You Have Enough Space on Your iPhone

The next thing to consider is whether you have enough internal storage on your iPhone. When you follow these downloading tips, you may be tempted to download all the videos you want.

Videos, though, tend to be quite large and can take up a considerable amount of space on your phone. You might run out of space before you know it, which is never a good thing.

You can easily check how much space you left on your iPhone by following these simple steps:

  • • Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • •  Search for it using Spotlight or find it in the Utilities section of the App Library
  • • Then, navigate to General
  • • Tap General to open a secondary menu list
  • • Within the General menu list and tap on iPhone Storage

This section shows you how much space has been used and how much is available. It also gives you a complete, color-coded breakdown of which apps are taking up the most storage.

You can manage your storage from there or go into each app separately to free up space. Click here to learn how to delete apps on iPhone.

From Where Do You Want to Download the Videos?

Nowadays, people have many choices when it comes to consuming content and watching videos. From YouTube to Facebook, to new apps on the block like TikTok. You can even watch and download videos from Twitter.

Each app or website has different ways of downloading and storing content on your phone. It’s important to know how they all work because you’ll probably want to download content from all the below sites and apps.

How to Download Videos on iPhone The Ultimate Guide Supcase

Using Safari to Download Videos

Your first choice for downloading videos on iPhone is Safari. As mentioned, the native Apple browser now allows you to download videos, storing them straight onto your iPhone in the Files app.   

If a website has a video you’d like to watch again, follow these simple steps to download them onto your phone:

  • • Tap and hold on to the video
  • • Below the pop-up window, you’ll see a list of options, including Download Linked File
  • • Click on the Download Linked File
  • • On the top right-hand side of the browser, you’ll see a small circle with a downward arrow – this is where you’ll see your video downloading
  • • Once it’s done, navigate to your Files app – found in the Productivity section of the App Library
  • • In the Browse menu, you’ll see a Downloads section, where all your downloaded content and media are stored

Sometimes, the videos you want to download are embedded on the website. These videos are usually from websites like YouTube or Vimeo. Unfortunately, you’ll need a third-party website to download this content. A good site is DownVids.net. But you can opt to use any video downloading website, they mostly work the same.

To Download Embedded Videos from Safari, Follow These Simple Steps:

  • • The video will be stored in the Files App

Downloading Facebook Videos

Downloading Facebook Videos

Facebook remains one of the most used social media platforms across the world. It has more than two billion active users every month .

The platform has shifted from just sharing personal blogs and photos. It has become a prime place to view and share videos of various forms. You may find one video you particularly enjoy but need to save for later.

Unfortunately, you can’t download videos straight from the Facebook app to your iPhone. 

Like downloading embedded videos from websites in Safari, you’ll need a third-party website. You can use DownVids.net again, or a similar website.

Follow These Steps to Download Facebook Videos:

  • • Press and hold on the video you want to download from the Facebook app
  • • A pop-up menu will appear
  • • Tap on Share
  • • In the share menu, tap Copy Link
  • • Open Safari and go to your chosen Video Downloading site
  • • Navigate towards the URL box on the page
  • • Paste the link in this box.
  • • Choose a file type and video quality
  • • Tap on download
  • • Find your downloaded Facebook video in the Files app

Downloading YouTube Videos

Downloading YouTube Videos

YouTube is without a doubt the number one platform to watch videos. Recent statistics show that over 1 billion videos are watched per day , with approximately 720,000 hours of fresh content being uploaded daily . With that much content being produced and consumed, it’s no wonder people want to save some of their favorite videos on their phones.   

There are two ways to watch YouTube videos – through the YouTube iOS app or Safari. Each has its own way of downloading videos to your iPhone.

How to Download YouTube from Safari:

To download YouTube videos from Safari, see below:

  • • Open the YouTube video you want to download in Safari
  • • Copy the video’s link
  • • In another tab, go to your chosen Video Downloading site
  • • Find your downloaded YouTube video in the Files app

If you have the YouTube app, you can download videos from there. While these videos won’t be directly saved to your iPhone’s Files app, you can still access them while you’re offline. These videos will be accessible for 29 days without an internet connection, but the timer resets whenever you have internet access again.

Unfortunately, only some videos are available for download within the app in certain areas. YouTube Premium subscribers don't have these restrictions. They also have the option to enable ‘Smart Downloads.’ According to the app, when you’re connected to Wifi, the app will automatically download 20 recommended videos for you to consume offline at your leisure. These 20 videos will update weekly, allowing you to always have something to watch when you’re offline.

How to Download YouTube Videos Using the App

If you want to download videos using the YouTube app, the process is rather simple:

  • • Go to the video you’d like to download and click the three vertical dots
  • • Click the Download Video

You can access downloaded content within the YouTube app in the Library section. You’ll find this in the bottom right corner of your screen. All your downloaded videos will appear under the Download section.

How to Save YouTube Videos to the Files App

If you’d rather have access to your downloaded videos through your iPhone’s Files app, you can. All you need to do is:

  • • Tap the three vertical dots on the video
  • • Tap on Share and then Copy Link
  • • Open Safari and go to your chosen Video Download Website
  • • Paste the link in the box. You may be asked to choose a file type and video quality
  • • Tap on Download
  • • The Download icon, a small circle with a downward-facing arrow, will appear in the top right corner of Safari
  • • Here you can see the progress of your download

Downloading TikTok Videos

downloading tiktok videos

TikTok has become a formidable social media. What many call the ‘silly clock up,’ now has over 1 billion monthly active users . It initially started as a small, short-video sharing platform, primarily for lip-syncing and dancing videos. As it has grown its content has diversified, accommodating a wide range of users from various demographics and age groups.

Like YouTube, TikTok has become a primary source of consuming video content. Whether you’re wanting to catch up on News, learn something quickly, or simply need a laugh, there is a TikTok for everyone.

Downloading TikTok videos to your iPhone is straightforward. Not all videos are downloadable. Some creators restrict this when uploading their TikToks. 

How to Download Videos Using the TikTok App

This process is easy and simple. But it won’t store the downloaded videos in the Files App on your iPhone.

To download TikToks to your iPhone:

  • • Open the TikTok app
  • • On your Chosen, press the Share button
  • • The button is shaped like an arrow and found at the bottom-right of the page
  • • A large pop-up menu will appear with multiple actions
  • • Navigate to the Save Video button in the last row
  • • The icon is a circle with a downward pointing arrow
  • • The video will automatically save to your Photos app on your iPhone

How to Download TikToks that Don’t Have the Download Option

If you want to save a video that doesn’t have this option, iPhones have a sweet little trick that can get around this. Remember though that this may be an infringement of copyright laws, especially if the video’s creator has specifically switched off this function. But, if you’re not going to illegally share the video, you might be okay.

To save non-downloadable TikToks to your phone simply follow these steps:

  • • You need iOS 14 or later, and the Screen Recording is in the Control Center
  • • To add Screen recording to the Control Center: Settings > Control Center > Tap the Add Button next to Screen Recording
  • • Once that’s done, open TikTok
  • • Find the video you’d like to save
  • • Pause it at the beginning, open Control Center, and tap Screen Recording
  • • Wait for the recording to begin indicated by the recording icon up in the top-left corner of the screen
  • • Close control center and press play
  • • Once the video is finished, tap the red recording symbol to end the screen recording
  • • The video will automatically be saved to the Photos app

Downloading Instagram Reels

downloading instagram reels

With the growing popularity of TikTok, Instagram has stepped up its game with the introduction of Reels. Most Reels are TikTok videos re-uploaded to Instagram. But, if you’re a die-hard Instagram lover, and don’t want to add another social media app to your phone, we won’t blame you.

Unlike TikTok, Instagram doesn’t have a built-in Save Video feature. Despite this, there are ways around this.

How to Download Instagram Reels Using Screen Recording

You can save Reels by using the Screen Record function on your iPhone. To do so follow these steps:

  • • Once that’s done, open Instagram and navigate toward Reels
  • • Find Reels at the bottom center of your screen
  • • There is no pause function in Reels so be quick in starting the recording
  • • Open Control Center and tap Screen Recording
  • • Close the Control Center and restart the video by scrolling to the next and then scrolling back

How To Save Instagram Reels Using a Third-Party Website

  • • Open the Instagram and navigate towards Reels at the bottom center of the screen
  • • Click the three dots on the right-hand side of the screen on the chosen Reel
  • • Tap Copy Link
  • • Paste the link in this box
  • •  Choose a file type and video quality
  • • Find your downloaded Instagram Reel in the Files app

Downloading Videos From Twitter

downloading videos from twitter

Yes. Twitter has videos. And yes, you can download them straight to your iPhone! It’s not difficult, although Twitter doesn’t allow you to download straight from their app. Regardless, it’s still possible. 

To Download Twitter Videos:

  • • Open the Twitter app on your iPhone
  • • Go to the video you want to save
  • • Click the Share button at the bottom-right corner of the screen
  • • In Safari, go to your chosen Video Downloading site
  • • For Twitter videos, you can use twittervideodownloader.com
  • •  Find your downloaded Twitter video in the Files app

Downloading Videos from Streaming Services

Knowing how to download videos onto your iPhone also extends to content such as movies and TV shows. In a world where most of the content is online-based, it can be annoying when you can’t watch your favorite show or movie because of internet issues.

Or, you could be traveling, and long trips are always made better when you’ve got something to watch on hand.

Luckily, streaming services have your back. Whether it’s Netflix or Hulu or Disney +, you’ll be able to download content and watch it offline. Most streaming service apps allow this, and the processes are similar, all storing the downloaded media within their respective download sections.

It’s always best to double-check the process for your chosen streaming service. The steps below cover the processes for Netflix - the most popular streaming service in the USA.

How to Download Netflix Videos:

  • • Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 9 or later and that you have the Netflix App on your phone
  • • Go to your chosen TV Series or Movie
  • • Look for the Downloads icon next to the titles- it is a downward pointing arrow above a short line. Unfortunately, not all titles are available to download but the list is relatively short
  • • Tap the Download icon
  • • The Downloads will be stored in the Downloads section of the app

How to download videos on iPhone from YouTube, Safari, and more

  • May 10, 2023

Jeff Phungglan

Have you ever tried to watch a video online only to realize you had a poor internet connection and the video wouldn’t actually play? Or maybe you were commuting on the subway and lost internet connection. Well, with a little foresight and the help of this article, you can download videos from the internet directly to your iPhone. That way, you always have them and can watch them whether you’re online or offline.

Before you download any videos onto your iPhone

After you learn how to download videos to your iPhone, it’s tempting to just save every video you want to watch later to your library. But videos can actually be pretty large and take up a lot of space. So, you might want to clean up some of the clutter you already have on your iPhone and make room for those new videos.

Fortunately, CleanMy®Phone can help. It scans the photo library on your iPhone and then helps you quickly get rid of things like duplicates, similar-looking photos, or blurry pictures. All you have to do is follow these steps to clean up your library:

  • Download CleanMy®Phone from the App Store.
  • Open the app and allow it full access to your library. Worry not, with on-device scanning, it is absolutely safe.
  • Tap Declutter > Scan.
  • Select each category (e.g., Duplicates, Blur, or Memes) and group within it to choose which pictures you want to delete.
  • Then, tap Clean.
  • Now, you can use the Organize module to find similar photos. Just choose the time frame or set up a filter and tap Scan. Now, select what you want to delete from each category and tap Clean.

CleanMyPhone Declutter Storage

It’s important to remember that CleanMy®Phone only moves your pictures to the Recently Deleted album in the iOS Photos app. So, technically, the images will still take up space on your phone for the next 30 days. However, you can remove them immediately by opening up the Photos app and tapping Albums > Recently Deleted > Select > ellipsis bottom right > Delete All.

Can you legally download videos to your iPhone?

Before you download videos from anywhere on the internet, you should keep in mind that it might not be ethical or legal. If you download a video that you personally uploaded to a site like YouTube or Facebook, then you won’t be violating any copyright laws. But if you download someone else’s video, you should first reach out to the original uploader and get permission.

How to download a video from Safari to your iPhone

Fortunately, iOS 13 lets you download files directly in Safari. So, if a video is uploaded directly to a site, you can go through the steps below to save the video using only Safari.

  • Tap and hold the link to the video.
  • In the pop-up menu, tap Download Linked File.

How to save a linked file in Safari for iOS

But if the video is embedded on a website through a resource like Vimeo or YouTube, which is the case on most websites, then you’ll need the help of a third-party website like savefrom.net . 

Follow these steps to download an embedded video from Safari:

  • Copy the URL of the video.
  • In Safari, go to savefrom.net.
  • Paste the URL in the box.
  • Set the file type to .mp4.
  • Tap Download and confirm by clicking Download once again.

Everything you download in Safari will be saved in the Files app. By default, the app will store files in either the Downloads folder on your iCloud Drive or directly on your iPhone. You can choose a different folder within the Files app to save your downloads by going to Settings > Safari > Download.

How to download a Facebook video to your iPhone

There’s no way to download videos directly in the Facebook app. So if you want to save a video from Facebook, you’ll need the help of savefrom.net to save videos to your phone. Start downloading Facebook videos by following these steps:

  • Find the video you want to download from the Facebook app.
  • Tap Share > Copy Link.
  • Open Safari and go to savefrom.net.
  • Paste the URL.
  • Tap Download.
  • Tap Download again.

  • Hit the magnifying glass next to the video name

How to save videos from Instagram

Since Instagram doesn’t have a feature for you to download videos directly in the app (or to save Instagram photos , for that matter), you’ll need to use Safari and the website savefrom.net. Follow these steps to download your Instagram video:

  • Find the video you want to save in the Instagram app.
  • Tap the ellipsis directly above the video.
  • Tap Copy Link.
  • Paste the Instagram link into the box.

Step 1 . Open Safari and navigate to the video site from which you wish to download videos.

Step 4 . Once it's done, you can see a small download icon in your URL bar, tap it and select "Downloads," from where you can preview the video you downloaded or tap " Share " to save it to your video library or your iCloud.

Need to quickly download a file on your iPhone or iPad? Here's how you can do this using Safari or a third-party app.

Quick Links

How to download files using safari, how to the change default download location, alternative for ios 12 users: documents 5 by readdle.

In your work or personal life, you'll sometimes need to download a file on your iPhone or iPad. Using the new feature introduced in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, you can now do this directly in Safari. No third-party app needed!

Safari's download manager is a hidden new feature in the  iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 updates. If you're going about your day, browsing the web, you probably won't be aware of the feature. Instead, it comes up when you tap on a download link.

Go to a web page and find the link for a file you want to download. When you select it, you'll see a popup with the filename asking if you want to download it. Tap on the "Download" button.

The download will start, and you'll see a new "Downloads" button appear next to the address bar at the top of the browser. Tap on the button to reveal all current downloads. From here, you can monitor the progress of multiple downloads.

If you want to stop a download at any time, simply tap on the "X" button.

Once the download is finished, tap on the file to preview it. If you've downloaded a media file, image, or a PDF, you'll be able to see it in the preview window.

You can then share the file to any app. Tap on the "Share" button from the bottom-left corner.

Press the "Search" icon next to the filename in the Downloads section to open the file.

Once you open the file in the Files app, you can tap and hold on the file to reveal the menu.

From here, tap on "Delete" to delete the file.

By default, the downloaded files are saved to the Downloads folder in iCloud Drive in the Files app. This is a great option if you have a paid iCloud storage plan  because it allows your downloaded files to instantly sync across all your devices.

But if you're on the free, 5GB tier, you might not have space for storing large files.

Thankfully, you can change the default location to local storage. Open the "Settings" app and go to Safari > Downloads. If you can't find the browser on your phone, try using Apple's Spotlight search to locate it.

Here, switch the selection to "On My iPhone" or "On My iPad" depending on your device.

By default, Safari will pick the "Downloads" folder. You can change this by tapping on the "Other" option to select any folder from the local storage (or from a cloud storage option).

The new download manager in Safari is exclusive to iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and above. If you haven't updated to the latest OS (which you should), or if you're in a situation where you can't update, here's a workaround for you.

Try using the free Documents 5 app by Readdle . It's an all-in-one browser and file manager app.

Open the Documents 5 app and tap on the "Browser" button in the bottom-right corner to switch to the browser mode.

Now, navigate to the page with the download link and tap on it. From the next screen, select the folder where you want to download the file and tap on "Done."

The download will now start. You can tap on the "Downloads" tab to view all downloads.

Tap on the "Files" button from the bottom-left corner to switch to the file manager. From here, tap on the "Downloads" folder to see your downloaded file. You can tap on the download to preview it in the app. Tap on the "Menu" button to view options for opening the file in another app.

Safari's download manager is just one of the many new features in iOS 13. Take a look at our list of the  best iOS 13 features to learn more.

If you’ve ever wondered how to quickly download a video from Safari on your iPhone, you’re not alone. With the rise of streaming services and people spending more time on their phones than ever before, it’s an increasingly common question. I used to be frustrated trying to figure out how to do this myself – until I discovered a few simple tricks and strategies. Now, it’s actually quite easy…and in this post, I’m going to show you exactly how it’s done. So grab your phone and let’s get started!

Understanding the iPhone Safari Browser and its Video Download Capability

The iPhone Safari browser is a powerful tool that allows us to access the internet on our mobile devices with ease. But did you know that it also has a hidden gem – its video download capability? This feature allows users to save videos directly onto their iPhones for later viewing, even when they don’t have an internet connection. Let’s dive deeper into how this works and how we can make the most of it.

Firstly, let’s explore how to use this video download capability. When you stumble upon a video you want to save, simply tap and hold on the video until a menu pops up. From there, select the “Download Video” option and watch as your iPhone begins saving the file in your device’s storage. It’s important to note that not all websites or platforms allow for video downloads, so keep an eye out for those that do support this feature.

Now, why would anyone need this capability? Well, imagine being on a long flight without any Wi-Fi or traveling to an area with poor internet connectivity. Having downloaded videos at your fingertips can be a lifesaver during such situations! Whether it’s catching up on your favorite shows or watching educational content while offline, being able to access these videos anytime is truly invaluable.

Furthermore, having downloaded videos also comes in handy when you’re concerned about data usage. Instead of streaming videos every time you want to watch something new or rewatch old favorites just because they’re easily accessible online – by downloading them once and storing them locally – you won’t have to worry about consuming excessive data each time!

In conclusion, understanding the iPhone Safari browser and its video download capability opens up a whole new world of convenience and entertainment possibilities for users. With just a few taps on our screens, we can now effortlessly save videos onto our iPhones for offline enjoyment whenever we please! So next time you come across an interesting video online that you’d like to have at hand wherever life takes you, remember to take advantage of this amazing feature. Happy downloading!

Exploring Tools and Methods to Download Videos on iPhone from Safari

Let’s delve into the wonderful world of tools and methods that can help you download videos from Safari right onto your iPhone.

First up, we have online video downloader websites. These nifty platforms allow you to simply copy and paste the URL of the video into their search bar and voila! You’ll be presented with a variety of formats and quality options to choose from before downloading straight to your phone. It’s as easy as pie! Some popular sites include SaveFrom.net, KeepVid.com, and Clipconverter.cc – just make sure to exercise caution when using them, as some may come bundled with pesky ads or require additional software installations.

Another option worth exploring is downloading specialized apps from the App Store. There are plenty out there specifically designed for downloading videos on iPhones. Apps like Documents by Readdle or Video Saver Pro offer features beyond just downloading videos – organizing files in folders or even transferring them between devices through Wi-Fi Direct. With these apps at your disposal, saving those precious videos will become a breeze!

Last but certainly not least is utilizing browser extensions for Safari itself.

Troubleshooting Common Issues When Downloading Videos on Your iPhone from Safari

So, you’re trying to download videos on your iPhone from Safari and running into some roadblocks? Don’t worry, my friend, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into troubleshooting some common issues that might be standing in your way.

First things first, check your internet connection. It may seem obvious, but sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi or cellular data connection before diving into video downloading madness.

If your connection is rock-solid and you’re still having trouble, it could be a compatibility issue with the video format. Safari doesn’t support all file types for direct downloads. Fear not! You can always try using third-party apps like Documents by Readdle or Total Files to bypass this limitation.

Another common hiccup when downloading videos is insufficient storage space on your iPhone. Videos can take up quite a chunk of memory depending on their length and quality. So go ahead and free up some space by deleting those embarrassing selfies from last year’s holiday party (we won’t judge).

Now let’s talk about **troubleshooting** specific scenarios:

1) **The dreaded infinite loading circle**: If you encounter this annoying loop while attempting a download, force close Safari first. Then try clearing its cache by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.

2) **Download fails without any error message**: This mysterious occurrence can usually be fixed by restarting both Safari and your iPhone altogether – ah yes, the classic “turn it off and back on again” strategy that solves so many technological mysteries!

3) **Partial downloads that refuse to complete**: Sometimes files get stuck midway through downloading due to network interruptions or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control (thanks Murphy!). In such cases, delete the partially downloaded file from within the app used for managing downloads—usually found in its designated “Downloads” section—and attempt another fresh download.

Remember my friend: patience is key when troubleshooting. These tips should help you tackle most common video downloading issues on your iPhone. Now go forth and enjoy those cat videos, epic travel vlogs, or whatever floats your digital boat!

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.

Have you ever come across a video on your iPhone that you would love to save and watch offline? Perhaps it’s a funny cat video, a tutorial, or a memorable moment you want to cherish. Whatever the case may be, downloading videos on your iPhone can often be a challenge, especially if you’re not familiar with the right techniques.

Luckily, there are several methods you can use to download videos on your iPhone, and in this article, we will explore the most effective ones. Whether you want to save videos from social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, or you prefer to download videos from YouTube , we have got you covered.

It’s important to note that downloading videos from certain sources may violate copyright laws, so always make sure you have the necessary permissions before saving any videos.

In the following sections, we will guide you through four different methods to download videos on your iPhone. From downloading videos using a third-party app to saving videos from social media platforms and using YouTube Premium , we will provide step-by-step instructions to help you achieve your goal.

If you’re ready to take control of your video downloads on your iPhone, let’s dive in and explore these methods!

Method 1: Downloading videos using a third-party app

If you’re looking for a straightforward method to download videos on your iPhone, using a third-party app is a popular choice. These apps are specially designed to download videos from various sources and offer additional features for managing your downloaded content.

Here’s how you can download videos using a third-party app:

  • Select a reputable video downloading app from the App Store, such as “Documents by Readdle” or “Video Downloader+”.
  • Launch the app and navigate to the built-in browser.
  • Visit the website or platform where the video is located.
  • Find the video you wish to download and play it.
  • Look for the download button or a “share” option adjacent to the video player.
  • Tap on the download button or choose the option to download the video.
  • Specify the location where you want to save the video.
  • Wait for the video to be downloaded to your iPhone.

Once the download is complete, you can access the video from within the app’s library or transfer it to your Camera Roll for easier access.

It’s worth noting that not all third-party video downloading apps are created equal. Some may have limitations on the sources they support or impose restrictions on video quality and formats. Additionally, make sure to choose a reputable app to ensure the safety of your device and the legality of the downloaded content.

Now that you know how to download videos using a third-party app, let’s move on to our next method: saving videos from social media platforms.

Method 2: Saving videos from social media platforms

Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter are filled with captivating videos that you may want to save for later viewing. Fortunately, saving videos from these platforms on your iPhone is easier than you might think.

Here’s how you can save videos from social media platforms:

  • Launch the social media app on your iPhone and find the video you wish to save.
  • Tap on the video to open it in full-screen mode.
  • Look for the share or options button (usually represented by three dots or an arrow).
  • Select the share or options button, and a menu will appear.
  • Choose the “Save Video” or similar option to save the video to your iPhone’s Photos app.

Once you have saved the video, you can access it from your Photos app and enjoy it whenever you want, even without an internet connection.

It’s important to note that not all videos posted on social media platforms can be saved due to privacy settings or copyright restrictions. If you encounter a video that does not have a save option, it may not be possible to download it directly. In such cases, you can consider using a screen recording method, which will be discussed later in this article.

Now that you know how to save videos from social media platforms, let’s continue to method 3, where we explore how to download videos from YouTube using YouTube Premium.

Method 3: Downloading videos from YouTube using YouTube Premium

YouTube is undoubtedly one of the most popular platforms for watching and sharing videos. While YouTube itself does not offer a built-in feature to download videos on the iPhone, YouTube Premium subscribers have the privilege of downloading videos for offline viewing.

Here’s how you can download videos from YouTube using YouTube Premium:

  • Make sure you have a YouTube Premium subscription. If not, you can sign up for a subscription on the YouTube website.
  • Launch the YouTube app on your iPhone and sign in to your YouTube Premium account.
  • Search for the video you want to download or navigate to the channel that contains the desired video.
  • Look for the download button below the video player and tap on it.
  • Choose the desired video quality for the download (higher quality may take up more storage space).
  • Wait for the download to complete.

Once the video is downloaded, you can access it from the “Library” section of the YouTube app, even without an internet connection.

YouTube Premium also offers additional perks, such as ad-free viewing, background playback, and access to YouTube Originals. If you frequently watch videos on YouTube and want the convenience of offline viewing, subscribing to YouTube Premium can be a worthwhile investment.

Now that you know how to download videos from YouTube using YouTube Premium, let’s move on to method 4, where we explore how to use screen recording to download videos on your iPhone .

Method 4: Using screen recording to download videos

If you’re unable to download videos using the previous methods, or if you come across a video that cannot be downloaded directly, you can use the screen recording feature on your iPhone to capture and save the video.

Here’s how you can use screen recording to download videos:

  • Ensure that the screen recording feature is enabled on your iPhone. To do this, go to the “Settings” app, tap on “Control Center,” and add the screen recording option to your Control Center.
  • Navigate to the app or website where the video is located.
  • Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner (for iPhone with Face ID) or from the bottom of the screen (for iPhone with a Home button).
  • Tap on the screen recording icon, which looks like a circle inside a circle.
  • If prompted, select whether you want to record audio from the microphone or not.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to start the screen recording.
  • Play the video you want to download.
  • Once the video has finished playing, open the Control Center again and tap on the screen recording icon to stop the recording.
  • The recorded video will be saved in your Photos app.

After saving the recorded video, you can access it from your Photos app and enjoy it offline.

Using screen recording to download videos provides a viable option when other methods are not applicable. However, keep in mind that the quality of the recorded video may not be as good as the original, and it may also consume more storage space on your device.

Now that you know how to use screen recording to download videos, let’s wrap up this article.

Downloading videos on your iPhone can open up a world of entertainment and convenience, allowing you to watch your favorite videos offline and at your leisure. In this article, we explored four different methods to download videos on your iPhone: using a third-party app, saving videos from social media platforms, downloading videos from YouTube using YouTube Premium, and utilizing screen recording as a last resort.

By following the step-by-step instructions provided for each method, you can easily download videos from various sources and enjoy them offline.

However, it’s essential to be mindful of copyright laws and always obtain the necessary permissions before downloading or sharing any copyrighted content.

Whether you prefer using a dedicated video downloading app, saving videos from social media platforms, accessing YouTube Premium’s offline feature, or resorting to screen recording, you now have a range of options at your disposal to download videos on your iPhone.

Remember, each method has its own advantages and limitations, so choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
