Don't Miss: How to Use the Shortcuts App on Your iPhone in iOS 12.It's also likely to work for a long time unlike those shady apps of yore.

You can still sideload apps like YouTube++, but that's risky since you'll be missing out on the App Store's protections from spam and platform misuse.Ī safer way to save YouTube videos to your 'Camera Roll' and 'Videos' albums is to use a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to hook onto YouTube's own API, so you get the video right from the source. Google quickly strikes them down, so they never lasted long. Over the years, countless apps and methods have surfaced for bypassing YouTube's restrictions and downloading YouTube videos to your iPhone's media library. With the Workflow-replacement app, you can add a shortcut that lets you download any YouTube video you want, without needing to jailbreak or use shady third-party tools. If you've ever wanted to download YouTube videos directly to your iPhone, there's an easy solution - just update to iOS 12 and install Apple's new Shortcuts app.
