  If you use the NewPipe android app to watch youtube, you can download directly from there, as video or audio, in a selection of formats.

    Or you could use some app like InnerTune and listen to YouTube Music content without ads.

      Or you could install YTDLnis and (optionally) ReVanced, then click the download icon in the video box and you can download it in any other format.

    I wasn’t aware of that. That’s neat. It can be found on F-Droid and Droid-ify.

  It’s a Python command line program, so yes. I use Termux (a Linux terminal emulator), and I installed yt-dlp using pip, a package manager for Python. I also have ffmpeg for command line video editing on my phone.

  I have it setup such that when I click “Share” on a URL from Firefox or YouTube, and I choose Termux as the receiving app, I am presented with a menu that let’s me choose if I want the video saved to a normal folder or a hidden folder (for reasons), or if I want to download just the audio and save it to an MP3. yt-dlp can download from much more than just YouTube.

  Thee script is just a bash script with a specific name in a specific folder that Termux knows to invoke when sent a URL. You can do anything you want with such a script.

  Only get Termux from F-Droid or Droid-ify. Not from the Play Store. The Play Store version is way out of date.
