By default, iPhones running iOS don’t allow you to download video files directly into the Photos app. However, you can download video files to a specific location if you’re using Safari. Keep in mind that Apple doesn’t support downloading videos through Chrome or other browsers on the iPhone.
Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
Scroll down and tap on “Safari”.
In the Safari settings, find the “General” section and tap on “Downloads”.
Choose where you want to save your downloads. We suggest selecting “On My iPhone” and using the “Downloads” folder. If you prefer a different location, tap “Other…” and pick the folder you want—just make sure to remember where you saved it.
From now on, your downloads will be saved to the location you chose in Safari settings.
To find your downloaded videos, open the “Files” app. From there, you can save a video to your Photos app.
Open the video file in the “Files” app and tap the “Share” icon.
You’ll find the share icon at the bottom left of the screen. Then, tap “Save Video” to add the video to your Photos app.
