It does not have a download button. That might be from some extension you have loaded.

It does have a download button in the Android app, but tapping it tells you to get YouTube Premium.

Use PipePipe.

Oh, I'm not asking how to download videos. I use Seal. I'm just pointing out that what OP said is true. There is a download button in the native YouTube app. (And, for the record, I don't need an alternate YouTube app, either. I already have an alternate.)

I don't have any extension like that. There's a button. Idk what it does though.

Added: maybe I'm confused, I see a "Save" button now but I had remembered "download". Perhaps I equated the terms.
