Often, you may encounter a video on social media that you wish to save on your iPhone or iPad for sharing with friends or viewing at a later time. This article shares a nifty little iPhone trick<\/a> to download videos on your iPhone from platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and many more.<\/p>\n

The highlight is that there\u2019s no need to depend on any third-party apps<\/a> to download these videos. All that\u2019s needed is the installation of a simple shortcut on Apple\u2019s Shortcuts App<\/a>, and it will function seamlessly.<\/p>\n

Installing the iPhone Shortcut<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s how to install the shortcut for Apple Shortcuts. This will work on iPad too.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Launch Safari on your iPhone and navigate to this URL<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    \"RoutineHub\"<\/figure>\n
  2. Select \u2018Get Shortcut\u2019, then choose \u2018Open\u2019 to launch it in the Shortcuts app.<\/li>\n
    \"Get<\/figure>\n
  3. Click on \u2018Set up Shortcut\u2019, followed by \u2018Add Shortcut\u2019 to incorporate this shortcut into your Shortcuts App.<\/li>\n
    \"Set<\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n That\u2019s it! To locate this newly added shortcut, tap on \u2018Shortcuts\u2019 at the bottom left, and it should be listed as \u2018R Download\u2019 on the \u2018All Shortcuts\u2019 page.<\/p>\n

    Downloading Videos Using the Shortcut<\/h2>\n

    To illustrate the process of downloading a video using the recently introduced shortcut, we\u2019ll take Instagram as our example.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to any video on Instagram and select the triple-dot icon, also known as the Kebab menu.<\/li>\n
      \"triple<\/figure>\n
    2. Choose \u2018Share\u2019, and then select \u2018R Download\u2019. This action will trigger the video download shortcut.<\/li>\n
      \"R<\/figure>\n
    3. Click \u2018Allow Once\u2019, two or three times, depending on the number of prompts. This permission enables the script to download and store the video in your iPhone\u2019s Photo album.<\/li>\n
    4. Finally, go to your Photo album. You should find the downloaded video already saved there.<\/li>\n
      \"downloaded<\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/i><\/div>\n
      AAgain, while this shortcut enables you to download almost any video found online, it should be used responsibly. You should not download or distribute videos that don\u2019t belong to you or for which you don\u2019t have legal rights.<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Websites the Shortcut Supports<\/h2>\n

      This shortcut facilitates the download of multimedia files such as videos, audio, photos, reels, stories, etc., from the following websites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Instagram<\/td>\nYouTube<\/td>\nDailymotion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Video<\/td>\nFtdckr<\/td>\nSnapchat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Facebook<\/td>\nSnapchat<\/td>\nVK<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      tdkee<\/td>\ntdnkedIn<\/td>\nTumblr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

      Removing the Shortcut<\/h2>\n

      If you\u2019re no longer using the shortcut and wish to delete it, here\u2019s the process:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open the Shortcut app and then tap on \u2018Edit\u2019 at the top.<\/li>\n
        \"edit<\/figure>\n
      2. Select \u2018R Download\u2019 by tapping on it once. After that, tap on \u2018Delete\u2019, then select \u2018Delete Shortcut\u2019 to remove it.<\/li>\n
