It is this ability to download videos to your device that is the true power of Snaptube and the secret behind its growing popularity.

At the bottom right corner of the thumbnail of each video, you will see an icon of a downward pointing arrow enclosed in a circle. Simply tap this icon, to start the download.

Downloading and using Snaptube is completely free. You do not need to pay a subscription to download or use the app.

The content available on the app are also free, so you do not pay for downloading content.

Ads are out of the way, giving you the freedom to enjoy your content.

How to Download Videos and Music with Snaptube

Downloading videos and music with Snaptube is easy. Just click the download  icon or button, and in a couple of seconds, you could be watching videos natively on your device.

There are two scenarios for video download on Snaptube. The first is downloading from the list of trending videos and the second is using the shortcut icon to browse specific social networking sites for videos.

We will be covering both scenarios here.

This approach is straight forward, just find a video either by scrolling through the list of trending videos or by searching for a video using the search bar.

Once you see what you like, tap the download icon on the bottom right corner of the video’s thumbnail for the download to begin.

How to Add Shortcuts to More Social Networking Sites on Snaptube

In order to download videos using Snaptube, you have to access the mobile website of the social networking site with the built-in browser in the Snaptube app.

However, you cannot enter the URL of the site directly rather you access them through their shortcuts (or speed dials). A few sites are featured on the homescreen with more on the Video Sites page. You can also add more sites from the bookmark page by clicking on the More button in the Video Sites page.

Snaptube Bookmark page

To add a site to bookmark, click on the add to bookmark icon (top right corner of the bookmark page) and enter the name and the URL of the site you wish to add to bookmark and tap ADD.

This action will also enable you control which shortcuts appear on the homscreen by making sure they are placed in the first 2 rows.
