Watching YouTube videos is currently one of the most useful options. Open the app, find the video we want to see and give it to play, but sometimes it can't and we need to keep it on our phone. Probably because we will watch it later offlineBecause we want to save it for a time in the future when we do not know where we will have it.
So, there are different ways to download these videos to our phone, some of which are official and some are made by third-party developers. So, we'll show you the best-known options for achieving our goal: that YouTube video stores on our mobile phone to do what we want. Let's start with the official YouTube option itself, if you think so.
Download YouTube videos with the official Android app
As we mentioned earlier, YouTube allows downloading videos from the app itself for offline use on our mobile device. Of course, we'll need an app to see it later but this video you will never need our communications until we remove it. Not data or WiFi. We just open the app, watch the video and hit Play. So, it will be videos that work in airplane mode.
To accomplish this process we will need to navigate only until we find the video we want to release. Once we've played it, with the video on, we have the buttons down between "Share" and "Save". Button has an icon with star pointing down. You only need to press it to download the video to the phone. As we mentioned before, the video won't leave the app so we can't share it with other appsFor this we need third-party applications like the ones we currently recommend.
How to download YouTube videos via Snaptube
We have already mentioned that there are other ways to download YouTube videos to our mobile phone. Ways that allow, inter alia, the video to be made completely available to do what we want with it, from editing it on the phone itself to sharing it on social media, sending it and more. Remember that most YouTube videos have legal restrictions that we may be breaking.
Snaptube is not on Google Play, we should look for it in other repositories
Among these other options, perhaps Snaptube is the best position on Android, though surprisingly we didn't find it in the official app store. Snaptube is not on Google Play and in order to catch it we have to turn to other booths. Among these, we highlight the app chief. Just click this link and click Download on download the .apk file to our phone and install it.
We open Snaptube once it's installed, go to the YouTube section of all available and take a look at the mobile version. Here we can see that each video has a download icon that allows it choose between downloading the full video or just the audio. We choose the option we want, telling our phone that we want to download the folder and voila, available video.
How to download YouTube videos via Tubemate
Tubemate is one of the most popular Android apps for downloading YouTube videos in the same sense as we do with Snaptube. That is, for videos to be downloaded just like any other multimedia file that allows us to download, edit or save them to view with any app on our phone. Tubemate itself is also a video playerFor example, so its installation opens up many possibilities.
Tubemate is not only very good but also a video player
As in the case of Snaptube, Tubemate is also not available on Google Play so we have to turn to another booking site. We recommend APKMirror for this purpose. You will need to click on this link and download the most recent application type (currently 3.3.3 on March 28). Once downloaded, we install it just like any other APK file we installed before.
Also, Tubemate offers us an option download full videos or audio track only, so it will work to save videos and get a collection of music offline to play later offline. The aesthetics of the app are not very formal but using it is easy.
