Obviously Android is clearly a superior platform, but the only device someone I know has is an iPhone, and I want to know if I can recommend them an app to easily do this for them.

    If you have any pc or terminal capable device: Invest time into yt-dlp.
    Mobile ain’t worth the trouble

        termux can’t run yt-dlp though…
        My point was an x86 ccapable device because that’s what yt-dlp is compiled it.
        I don’t know if you can run yt-dlp compiled for ARM even in termux.

          You can just install it through python

          pkg up
          pkg install python
          pkg install ffmpeg
          python3 -m pip install --upgrade yt-dlp

            See what I know.
            In that case @OP: Do it that way. (If you can find a way to run a terminal app like termux on iOS.)
