Why is there no Snaptube for iPhone?
Snaptube, TubeMate and VidMate are Android apps downloaded from their own websites as APK files, outside Google's store. iPhone can't install APK files, and it can't install any app from outside the App Store without getting around the system's protection. So any page promising “the original Snaptube for iPhone” or “TubeMate without the App Store” is asking you to install something other than the app itself.
The App Store does have apps called “Snaptube” or something close, but they come from other developers and have nothing to do with the Android app. Before downloading one, check the developer name and reviews, and what permissions and subscriptions it asks for.
