What's the safest and best YouTube video downloader these days?
YMusic, a cool free youtube video downloader for Android users. You can transfer the downloaded videos from Android to Windows PC or Mac.
YMusic (Android) is a free, third-party YouTube video downloader client for Android devices. While it functions as a video downloader, its primary design goal is to be a music player. It creates a "Spotify-like" experience for YouTube by playing only the audio track of a video by default. This saves huge amounts of mobile data (up to 90%) and allows you to listen to YouTube content in the background or with your screen off, features usually locked behind YouTube Premium.
1. Search: Open YMusic and tap the magnifying glass (Search) icon at the top.
2. Find Video: Type the name of the video/song and select it from the results.
3. Download:
Tap the 3-dot menu next to the video title, OR tap the video to open it and look for the Download icon (usually a downward arrow).
4. Select Format:
A menu will pop up asking for format and quality.
For Audio: Select "MP3" or "M4A".
For Video: Select "MP4" and choose your resolution (e.g., 720p, 1080p).
5. Finish: The file will save to your phone's internal storage (usually in the YMusic folder).
YMusic youtube video downloader is generally considered safe and has been popular for years, but because it is not vetted by the Google Play Store, you install it at your own risk. However, the app has built-in ads.
