YouTube is one of the most popular video entertainment platforms which has drastically influenced the TV industry. A long time ago, advertisers used to promote their products through TV ads. But as they found that 6 out of 10 people like to watch online videos on YouTube, they migrated to online video platforms.
No one wants to pay for TV services. In fact, half of the audience will not buy TV services by 2025.
These statistics confirm that YouTube is a big platform. Most of you watch new videos every day. Sometimes you want to view videos later or download them in your system. But YouTube does not allow you to download the video to your device. You can only save them in your YouTube playlist which is the only disadvantage of the YouTube official app.
But if you’re an Android/smartphone user, you don’t need to worry about anything. There are so many android apps available on the web that perhaps can help you download YouTube videos on your smartphone.
In this post, I’m going to list out some of the best YouTube video downloader apps. These are the third-party apps that you never find in the play store so I will also give you links, from where you can download these apps.
So without further due let’s get started…
