Have you ever wanted to save a movie to your iPhone’s Camera Roll so you can watch it on the go? While the iPhone’s native Photos app doesn’t allow you to directly save movies to the Camera Roll, there are a few workarounds that you can use to achieve this.

Another option is to transfer the movie from your computer to your iPhone using iTunes. You can connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, and then select your device. From there, you can add the movie file to your iPhone’s library and sync it to your device.
