The iPhone is a perfect smartphone. Its design is stunning, and its features are above average. Of course, it varies from generation to generation, but they all are good, right?

Because it’s your cellphone, you have it with you anywhere you go. In this article, we’ll share a workaround for watching YouTube videos offline on an iPhone or iPad (this also involves other major video-sharing websites).

This means you can watch them wherever you are: on the subway, on a plane, or even while climbing Everest.

YouTube is a fantastic platform that offers a wide range of video content. Although streaming is popular, many people still prefer to download videos with subtitles from YouTube or entire playlists for offline viewing. However, iOS apps for downloading YouTube content are gradually disappearing from the App Store, making it harder to find reliable solutions.

Luckily, we have a trustworthy workaround here. At Softorino, we developed the Softorino YouTube Converter PRO (SYC PRO), a reliable and legitimate tool that helps you download YouTube live streams, individual videos, and even YouTube playlists directly to your iPhone or iPad—no jailbreak or iTunes required.

And be sure – no jailbreak, no iTunes required.

The app supports both Mac & Windows 💻

How to Watch YouTube Videos Offline on iPhone

Basically you'll need to download that video from YouTube to your local storage. Either computer or download it directly to your Apple device.

Step 1. Download Softorino YouTube Converter PRO.

I almost hear you hesitating right now about whether you should install the software you aren’t sure about. And you know what? Your doubts are natural.

There are tons of hazardous software on the web. We all got in that trap and downloaded some malware back in the day. No worries—this time, the download is free and safe.

Step 2. Connect your iPhone & iPad via USB.

After you’ve installed the app, plug in your iPhone or any other iOS device you own (provided it’s iOS 5 and higher) to your computer.

Step 3. Go on YouTube. Copy the link of the desired video.

Go to YouTube, find the video you want, and copy its link. SYC PRO will grab the video from your clipboard and add it to the download list. This feature works even with long YouTube videos and entire playlists, which you can download in one go.

Step 4. Customize your download

Select the desired video quality, format, and destination (iPhone, iPad, or computer). SYC PRO supports a wide range of resolutions, including 360p, 720p, 1080p, and 4K.

Step 4.5. Edit the metadata of your download.

With SYC PRO, you can either customize video metadata yourself, including title, description, and genre or let the app's AI do it automatically.

Step 5. Hit the ‘Download’ button.

When all the videos are added, start the download and converting process. You should choose the quality of the videos and where you want to save them. The application will handle any quality rate you like (even 2160p and 4K).

Immediately, you will see a blue progress bar that will keep you posted about the length and duration of the conversion. Here you are! Within seconds, the video is on your iPhone, resting peacefully and waiting for you.

Furthermore, it will already be in the Home Videos folder on your device, so there’s no need to download any third-party apps or players on your iPhone.

To speed up the process even more, you can download whole playlists just by copying the URL. Then, you can watch YouTube videos offline on your iPad or iPhone.
