iTunes is a valid way of putting movies on your iPhone. However, you need to make sure that you are using the latest version of iTunes. Even though iTunes has some downsides, it's still a nice way to get those good movies to your iPhone.
iTunes is known to support limited video formats, and you have to get your video to the library first before transferring it to your device. This can be frustrating, but it will be a breeze once you know how to do it!
Here is how to put movies on iPhone using iTunes;
Step 1: Download iTunes on your PC or Mac.
Step 2: Open iTunes then connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cord. You may also need to unlock the phone and trust the computer.
Step 3: Look for the iPhone icon from the top left section and tap "Summary" and "Find Options." When there, switch on the "Manually manage videos and music" option.
Step 4: Tap the "File" option at the top left section of iTunes and select the "Add File to Library" option, which you will find from the drop-down list, and add all those movies you want to move to your iPhone.
Step 5: Choose the "Movies" option below Settings and check the option for "Sync Movies," and select all movies to be transferred. Once done, tap "Apply" to copy movies from iTunes to your iPhone.
Here's an easier and more flexible way to move videos to your iPhone - using iCloud. This cloud service from Apple lets you back up and transfer files between your devices without needing cables. It works not only for videos, but also for photos, documents, and more. Even better, iCloud can be used on Windows PCs too, so you can upload movies from your computer and then watch them on your iPhone.
Just make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices, and check that your iCloud has enough storage space to hold the videos. (Having trouble with iCloud issues?)
Step 1: Using any of your preferred browsers, head to iCloud.com on a Windows or Mac computer and sign into your account with an Apple ID and password used on the iPhone.
Step 2: Select the "Photos" option, tap the "Upload" tab, and choose the movie files you wish to copy.
Step 3: Go to your iPhone, open "Settings," and look for the "[your name]" option. Proceed to "iCloud" "Photos" and switch on the "iCloud Photos" option.
Step 4: When the uploading finishes, navigate to the "Photos" application on your iPhone and check the movie files synced.
If you're using a Mac, AirDrop is probably the easiest and quickest way to send videos to your iPhone. It's even faster than using a USB cable unless you have an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max—because most iPhones still transfer data over slow USB2 speeds. Just make sure your Mac and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi. If they're not, AirDrop will switch to Bluetooth, which is much slower. Here are the steps on how to use it to send videos from your Mac to your iPhone using AirDrop:
Step 1: Open Finder on your Mac.
Step 2: Click on "AirDrop" in the sidebar. Or, go to the top menu and choose Go > AirDrop.
Step 3: If Bluetooth isn't on, your Mac will ask you to turn it on. Go ahead and do that.
Step 4: Make sure your iPhone has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. It should show up in the AirDrop window.
Step 5: Now, just drag your video files and drop them onto your iPhone's icon. That's it!

A handy way of transferring movies to your iPhone is through cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. In this way, movie files are kept in the cloud storage, and you just need to log in to the cloud service's website to transfer the movies to your device.

Step 1: Log into your Dropbox account on your computer and tap "All Files" at the left sidebar.
