What’s the least faffy way of getting a YouTube video downloaded and put onto your iPhone for offline viewing?

Thanks

Thanks all for the help.

As for what it’s for, I watch a lot of instructional videos on YouTube mainly around art and digital music creation...I have 2 12 hour plane journeys next month and want to have some of my favourite videos watchable on the plane....nothing too sinister!

If it doesn't contain too much copyrighted music then open any number of the online websites for downloading YT videos in an incognito/private browsing window on your phone. Paste the URL to the YT video and hit whatever Start/Next button there is, and download the clip to your phone from the browser.
Saves faffing around having to transfer it from your PC to your iPhone, or using iTunes etc
Quick and simple.
Alternative is to check and see if you can get a free trial of YouTube Premium.
Interested in why you said to do it in an incognito window? Surely that just stops your history being recorded on the device, it doesn’t stop your ISP from knowing what sites you’ve visited?
