@subligula You might want to check out Tips on finding relevant topics . It’s always helpful to search for existing topics before creating a new one, as it helps reduce duplicate posts and keeps the focus on those who need help.
This particular issue has already been mentioned, and I’ve assisted with it here: Downloaded videos on IOS .
Based on that, I’ve created a GitHub issue for it, and I’m confident the Brave devs will investigate and work on a fix:

### Miscellaneous information
Issue reported by users at https://community.brave.com/t/downloaded-videos-on-ios/568738/
Then was able to replicate myself as well.
**SIDE NOTE**
I could swear we used to have the ability to choose download destinations within Brave on iOS but I don't see that anywhere now. Did this change or am I thinking more of Android?
Thanks.
And thanks for being gracious about searching beforehand (which I did, but somehow missed this).
Yep. I’m experiencing this right now too
Thanks for posting!

Me to, searched the net but unable to find a fix. Sad.
You should only need to update to the latest build to resolve the issue.
I appear to be using latest version no update available on App Store.
Trying to download still and step files… Changed the page from desktop to mobile and downloaded one item then it stopped again
