METHOD 1: HOW TO DOWNLOAD MOVIE ON IPHONE WITHOUT A COMPUTER

 

So, here is the first way in which you can get a movie downloaded on your iPhone without having to connect to a computer or sync via iTunes or any other online video downloader.

However, If the latter seems preferable to you that is, downloading from the website, you just need to take a chill pill and follow through as it will be fully explained later on. With that, let’s begin as you’re just about to get schooled with the following steps!

Step 1: Connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi or mobile network

Before anything, the first criterion for downloads of any kind is the availability of internet connection either a wi-Fi or a mobile network.

Whichever you settle for, just make sure you are connected to an internet connection.

Step 2: Launch into the google play movies and TV app

Seated somewhere in your apps is a little friend of ours, called the google play movies and tv app. Gently tap on it to open it.

(ding ding!) An incoming email notification…

Finally! You heaved a sigh of relief thinking it’s that email you’ve been waiting for and of course, adrenaline rush at work and you are eager to open and read it which you did. Only to find out it’s a reminder from the animal store to get Billy’s food at the mart by noon.

Heck! I never did forget in the first place, you said to yourself.

Now you are back at where you started. So how do I get to see my downloaded movie?

Don’t fret, just follow the same steps up until step 3, library, then tap on the menu and click on “downloaded only.” There you have it!

Most of the online video download services are easily spotted on google search engines that is, they are absolutely easy to find and also easy to use at that. You’ve got some of them like download 6, video grabby, etc. but for the purpose of this article, download 6 will be used as an illustration for a more straightforward way to download movies directly on your iPhone using the following steps

Of course, there is something way easier that could save you from paying any extra fees to download or rent movies from iTunes or any other online movie services.

METHOD 4

 

The last but definitely not the least of the methods from which you can download movies from websites is via Netflix… yay! I could feel that excitement. Of course, you would nod in affirmation as Netflix is the top provider of digital media content.

The Netflix movie app for iOS runs on the iPhone where you could stream movies and also download them for later watch. It’s best to get a demo (free trial) first before subscribing to a plan afterward.

Some of the exclusive features you get to enjoy include TV shows and movies, all you need to do is to “browse” or “search” for your favorite movie(s) and just so you know, you can instantly stream on your device. Winks!

You want to know how, well it’s in the 5 steps below.

Netflix movie app

Step 1: Firstly, you have to download the Netflix app from your apple play store (that’s if you don’t have it yet), install and proceed to launch it and if you have the app already, just launch it right away.

download the Netflix app

Step 2: Click on “available for download”

Click on “available for download”

Step 3: Click on your preferred movie

Step 4: Finally, tap the “download” button next to your preferred movie (it looks like an arrow) and then you are good to go!

There you have it! It is as simple as eating those ham-burgers all along only if you would be patient to follow the methods step by step.

And yeah, I did promise a reward for being a meticulous reader? So here it is.

On one of those occasions where Billy wouldn’t let you be while downloading a movie and by mistake, you downloaded something entirely different from what you wanted and you are like, Heck! No! this isn’t the movie I intend to download, what do I do now? let me say, It never was her intention anyway, she only needed some more attention so, go easy on the poor soul.

So, you are stuck on how to stop a download? Well, it is so easy. Simply tap “download” to remove or stop a download in progress.

Hope you enjoyed the ride? There you go, apparently, you did as you’re unconsciously nodding in affirmation.

Looking forward to riding with you again.

Cheers!
