The iOS operating system which the iPhone and iPad runs on, is considered awesome for different reasons. The major reason being speed. However, there are a few vital limitations. These limitations makes the use of an iPhone or iPad, kind-of complicated.
On android, being able to download files like songs, videos, and others is very easy. Really easy, I should say.
However, on iPhone or iPad, it’s a bit more complicated. On android, you do not necessarily need an external app in-other to download music files or videos.
Downloading mp3 songs and videos is as easy as navigating to the file’s download page via the browser, and hitting the download button.
On iPhone, it’s different. Following same route will only play the movie or music file online. It wouldn’t be available for offline playback.
Same applies to downloading YouTube Videos. On android, downloading YouTube Videos is easy. Just go to the YouTube video you’d like to download, editing the URL and it should lead you to a download page. From there, you can simply download the YouTube video.
On iPhone or iPad (which both runs on iOS), it doesn’t work that way.
Thankfully, there are a few apps on iOS which allows you download MP3 songs and YouTube Videos on iPhone.
This isn’t only restricted on iPhone, it should also work well on iPad.
