By default, iOS - iPhones, in general, will not let you download video files directly into the Photos app. However, they allow you to download video files to a specified location as long as you’re using Safari. Chrome or any other browser is not supported by Apple to download into the iPhone.
- To configure your downloads go to the “Settings App”.
- While in the Settings app, look for the “Safari” menu item and tap on it.
- On the “General” section of the Safari Settings, tap on the “Downloads” menu item.
- Choose where to save your downloads; we recommend “On My iPhone” in the “Downloads” folder. Note: Alternatively, you can select a different location by tapping on the “Other…” menu item; just make sure you remember your selection.
- Your downloads will always be saved in the location you selected from the Safari Settings.
- To access your downloads go to the “Files” app to save a video file into the Photos app.
- Open your video file from the “Files” app and tap on the “Share” icon.
- Located on the left-hand side of the bottom of the screen. Then tap on the “Save Video” menu item; this will then save your video to your Photos app image.
