How to Download Twitter Videos on Your iOS Device
Twitter is a microblogging platform where users share short bits of content like photos, quotes, article links and videos. Each tweet can also have replies from other users generating real-time conversations around hot topics and breaking news. While it is not a video platform in the same way TikTok and Instagram are, Twitter is still a great source of interesting clips that you may want to save for later viewing.
Twitter allows you to easily save images attached to posts with a couple of taps on the official app for iPhone, but saving videos can be a bit more challenging and involves an additional app. With a little work, though, you can download Twitter videos on your iOS device to watch offline.
To save a Twitter video from a desktop computer, start by copying the URL of the tweet you want to download. Paste the link into the ss Twitter downloader website, and click the Download button. You’ll be given the option to select a file size and format, which will then download to your browser for easy access.
If you’re looking for a more direct method to save Twitter videos on an iPhone or iPad, you can use this handy shortcut from freelance React developer Saif Al Falah that uses iOS’s built-in Shortcuts feature. To get started, you’ll need an up-to-date device running at least iOS 16.3 with the Shortcuts app installed. To install the shortcut, open this link from your iPhone’s Safari or Settings app, and tap Add to Shortcuts.
