How to Download Videos from YouTube to Your iPhone (Video)

There happens to be a jailbreak tweak out there that allows you to download YouTube videos to your iPhone, iPad, or other iOS device. It’s up to you to use this new-found power for good or evil. There isn’t much to say about it other than “you use this at your own risk and I and TheUnlockr are not responsible for how it gets used”. There I think that makes things clear, so here’s how to install the $1.99 tweak regardless…

I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad

1. To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our How to Jailbreak iOS 7.0.6 (the latest version at the time of writing this). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.

II. Install InTube

1. Open Cydia.

2. Tap Search in the bottom right corner.

3. Type in InTube.

4. Tap on InTube when it shows up.

5. Tap Purchase at the top right and follow the prompts to login and purchase using your preferred method.

6. Tap Close when you’ve paid.

7. Tap Install where Purchase used to be.

8. Tap Restart.

III. Configure InTube

1. Head to Settings > InTube to configure extra options like removing ads, keep playing in the background, and force HD on 3G connection.

IV. Use InTube

1. Open the normal YouTube app and tap on a video.

2. Tap the InTube button and then tap HD or SD to download that version of the video.
