Seamless YouTube Video Enjoyment on iPhone

Enjoying videos and music on YouTube can be an immersive experience until the interruptions come. Notifications from messaging apps or incoming calls can disrupt your video playback and ruin the mood. While YouTube Premium offers offline and background playback features, the monthly cost of 1,180 yen might not be appealing to everyone. To address this, we've compiled a list of iPhone apps that allow you to download YouTube videos for background and offline playback. Let's explore these options in detail.

7 Recommended iPhone Apps for Downloading YouTube Videos

Here are seven iPhone apps that can download YouTube videos, although they generally save video caches within the app for offline viewing rather than directly saving videos to your Camera Roll or as MP3 files.

1. YouTube App

• YouTube Premium, available for 1,180 yen per month, allows you to download and play videos and music offline using the YouTube app. Downloaded videos are stored in the "Offline" section of the YouTube app and can be played offline. This feature is available in both the app and browser versions.

2. Brave Browser with YouTube Download Feature

• Brave is a browser app known for its fast loading speed and ad-blocking capabilities. The iPhone version of Brave is the only one that supports YouTube's offline playback. You can add videos to playlists for offline viewing.

3. Tolmil - YouTube Video to Audio Converter

• Tolmil is a file management app for iPhone and a successor to apps like "mixdata" and "Kingbox." Free users can select video quality up to two times a day. Free users will see ads before downloading. You can also convert MP4 files to audio files by selecting "File > Actions > Convert to Song."

4. Tube Browser Pro - Ad-Free YouTube

• This app allows you to play YouTube videos within the app, cutting out ads. While background playback and picture-in-picture mode require an upgrade to the paid version (300 yen per month), the free version still allows you to cut ads while playing videos. You can also adjust playback speed and video quality.

5. Clitcher - Fast YouTube Video Downloader

• Clitcher is a simple-to-use app that allows you to paste a YouTube video URL and click "Download" to save videos to your folder for background and offline playback. It has a user-friendly interface and performs operations quickly. There may be ads before saving videos, but it offers features like repeat playback and variable playback speed.

6. Video Save - WeBox

• Video Save - WeBox is an iPhone app that enables background playback and offline playback of YouTube videos. Unlike some file management apps that require you to reopen the video, this app allows seamless playback even after closing the app. It offers a simple UI and is easy to use. However, please note that video analysis cannot be done unless a song is playing.

7. Video Master for YouTube

• While it may be lesser-known, Video Master for YouTube is a highly recommended app. It allows you to download YouTube videos to the app and play them in the background. While offline playback is not supported, it is incredibly lightweight and user-friendly. The ability to add passcodes to downloaded videos is a handy feature.

If you want to download videos you've uploaded yourself, it's easy to do so using the YouTube app on your iPhone. Here are the steps:

1. Open the YouTube app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on "Library" at the bottom right of the screen.

Q&A on iPhone Apps for Downloading YouTube Videos
