How To Download Youtube Videos On Iphone Or Ipad Using Siri Shortcuts

Oftentimes, I find a video while browsing YouTube on my iPhone that I want to save to my device. Now, I know that there is an option to download YouTube videos for offline viewing, however, those downloaded videos remain in the YouTube app only and I cannot use them on any other third-party editing application. So, I have been using this Siri Shortcut to download and save YouTube videos on my device without any hassle.

So here’s how to set up the “Shortcuts” app to run the SMD shortcut.

• Toggle the switch to turn it on.
• Press “Allow” on the following prompt.

Now that you have set up your “Shortcuts” app to add shortcuts from sources other than the “Gallery”, follow the steps below to download a YouTube video using the shortcut.

• First, get the “Social Media Downloader (SMD)” shortcut from this link.

• After adding it, you will find the shortcut in your “My Shortcuts” section of the “Shortcuts” app.

• In the device’s share sheet, scroll down a bit and you will find a button titled “SMD 4.0.2”.

• Tap it to open up the share sheet again and then tap “Save Video” to save it on your device.
