Downloading
a youtube video to an iPad or iPhone is a fairly straightforward
process. However, it does take a few more steps than downloading a video to a
desktop computer or laptop. To download any YouTube video to
your iPad or iPhone, follow the steps below.
1.
In
the App Store, search for the Documents
by Readdle app, then download and install the app on your iPad or iPhone.
2.
After
the Documents by Readdle app
has finished installing, open the
app (the app icon is named "Documents").
3.
At
the bottom right corner of the app window, click the Safari browser icon (looks like a
compass).
4.
In
the address bar,
type bitdownloader.com and
press the Go button at
the bottom right of the on-screen keyboard.
5.
Press
the Home Button on
the iPad or iPhone.
6.
Open
the Safari browser,
and go to the youtube.com website or the YouTube
app.
7.
Find
the video you want to download, and on the video page, click the Share icon located below the
video (an arrow pointing to the right).
8.
In
the Share video
window that opens, tap the Copy option
to copy the video URL.
9.
Press
the Home button again
and open the Documents app
once more.
10. Tap your
finger on the Enter the video's
link here text box. Once the on-screen keyboard appears, press and
hold your finger in the text box to bring up the Paste option. Tap the Paste option to paste the YouTube video
URL in the text box.
11. Tap the
green Download button
below the text box.
12. After a
few seconds, scroll down the page to the Download Video with Sound section. Tap the green Download button next to the
preferred video format to download the video.
13. On
the Save File screen
that opens, enter a name for the video file to be downloaded, then tap
the done button.
14. The video
is downloaded to the iPad or iPhone, in the Documents app. Tap the Downloads icon at the bottom
right of the screen (an arrow pointing down with a line under it) to see the
video download progress.
15. Once the
video has finished downloading, tap the video file name to open the Documents screen. If the video
starts to play, stop the video and press Done to exit the video.
16. Tap
the Downloads folder
icon to view the downloaded video file. When the video download is complete,
tap Close in the
upper-left corner.
