How to properly transfer music from VKontakte to Apple Music?

A valuable feature that social networks provide to users is access to a variety of media content. Perhaps the most popular service on VKontakte is listening to music. At the same time, iPhone models with high-speed Internet support give you the opportunity to enjoy your favorite songs directly from the Internet. And this function allows you not to store a huge music collection inside the device. However, if you have to go to a place where Internet speed is limited, it is better to find out how to download music from VK to iPhone.

How to listen to music from VK on iPhone

The desire of iPhone owners to listen to music for free from VK finds a constant response among developers of various applications, some of which even appear in the official Ep Store. Among the capabilities of such applications is the function of saving listened tracks in a cache, which can then be conveniently played offline.

The App Store administration is quite jealous of developers' compliance with copyright. And after a certain time (usually several months), applications with “pirated” functionality are either completely removed from the store, or become paid (for example, “Lazytool”), which for many users looks absolutely equivalent.

What about unofficial applications with the ability to download audio from VKontakte to an iOS device, which can be downloaded on various dubious sites. Most of them lose their functionality over time, and the rest either become paid or function rather unstable. When activating them, you usually have to enter the login and password from your contact account, which in the future can lead to various unpredictable consequences.

Why did the VKontakte administration remove the ability to listen to music for free?

Frequent questions like how to download music from VK on iPhone from Apple product users arise because the service administration has removed the ability to freely listen to and download audio files. This causes a number of difficulties and attempts to circumvent restrictions on the part of buyers.

So what is the point of such promotions and how can you download music from VK to iPhone.

The reason lies in the support of the copyright holders of songs and tracks. Artists often file complaints about the illegal use of their compositions, which is a direct violation of the law. Pay-per-listening acts as support for producers and helps them grow.

Ways to download music from VK to iPhone

However, you can always look for various loophole options that will help us download music from VK. Let's look at various options for such solutions (both free and paid).

Solution #1. Downloading music to your computer with further transfer
