Trying to convert youtube videos to mp3 files on my phone, the website I had been doing it on is down and all the alternatives are scam sites and virus links. Any alts you know?

Edit: i have an iPhone, I would prefer a browser based converter if possible.

    I’m using yt-dlp. Its a command line app, but quite easy to use. It’s primary function is downloading entire videos, but it can rip out audio into various formats as well.

    Edit: I’m apparently bad at reading, didn’t notice you’re looking for a phone app. NewPipe has has a video and audio download functions.

      I should mention it’s for an iPhone specifically. I used to use web based converters but they are taken down

        You can absolutely use yt-dlp on iPhone though via a-shell.

        You can just install it and then type pip install yt-dlp.

        We do this.
