How to Download Videos on iPhone from Safari in All Possible Ways

We don't know if you have this experience when watching a funny video clip in your Safari but find it constantly buffering due to a slow/unstable internet connection or insufficient internet bandwidth or outdated browser, or whatever reason. Whatever the reason, the best option to solve the buffering problem is to have your wanted videos downloaded to your iPhone or iPad. Thus, you can watch them without interruption.

If this is what you want, just apply any of these methods to grab your wanted videos from Safari on iPhones.

Method 1. Directly Download Videos from Safari to iPhone or iPad

Starting from iOS 13, iPhones let you save files from Safari as long as the video comes with the download option. If the videos you want to download are from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or other platforms that have strict download restrictions, then this method doesn't work.

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

Step 2. Find the video you wish to download.

Step 3. Tap on the "Download" icon to save the video.

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 download, or tap "Share" to save it to your video library or your iCloud.  

Quick Tips: If there is no download icon, you can tap and hold the link to the video and tap "Download Linked File" from the pop-up menu.

Method 2. Download Videos from Safari with Online Video Downloaders

If you can't download videos with the above-introduced method, you can try using some online downloading services. You can find such services by entering some keywords like "YouTube video downloader," "Instagram video downloader," "Facebook video downloader," or more in your Safari. Then, select the top one from the results. If you don't want to waste time finding such services, you can try the following one we pick for you. 

Step 1. Open the YouTube app on your iPhone or iPad.

Step 2. Find the video you wish to download and click the "Share" icon.

Step 3. From the pop-up window, click "Copy Link."

Step 4. Open Safari and go to savefrom.net.

Step 5. Paste the URL you copy and press "Go."

Step 6. Then, choose the video resolution you want and download the video to your iPhone or iPad. 

Method 3. Download Videos from the Internet to iPhone or iPad

We don't deny that using Safari is convenient for downloading videos, but not all videos are available for downloading from Safari. Such types are mainly from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other sites with strict download restrictions. If you want to download videos from these sites, you will need a simple video downloader like EaseUS Video Downloader to help.
