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.

    Android is terminal capable despite being mobile. Try termux for example.

      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.)
