WHY IPHONE NEEDS ONE EXTRA TAP
Safari saves to Files — you move it to Photos
On iOS a downloaded video does not go straight into your camera roll. Safari puts it in the
Downloads folder inside the Files app, and one extra tap moves it into Photos. That is an Apple
rule, not a limitation of this tool — and it is why "install our app" downloaders exist. You do not
need one: this page works in mobile Safari and Chrome, with no app, no shortcut and no profile to install.
📱
Works in Safari and Chrome for iOS
Nothing to install. Browser extensions are desktop-only, so on iPhone and iPad this page is the downloader.
🖼️
Ends up in Photos
Files app → Downloads → tap the MP4 → Share → Save Video. From then on it behaves like any clip you filmed yourself.
HOW TO SAVE AN X VIDEO ON IPHONE
Four taps from the X app to your camera roll
1
Copy the link in the X app
Tap the share icon under the post, then Copy link. If you are in Safari instead, tap the address bar and copy the URL.
2
Paste it on this page
Come back here, long-press the input box above, tap Paste, then press Get video.
3
Tap Download MP4
Choose your quality. Safari asks to confirm the download and shows the blue arrow in the address bar when it is done.
4
Move it into Photos
Open Files → Downloads → tap the video → Share → Save Video. It now appears in your camera roll and can be shared anywhere.
FAQ
iPhone downloads — common questions
Do I need to install an app or a Shortcut?+
No. Everything happens in mobile Safari or Chrome on this page. Downloaders that insist on an app or a configuration profile are usually after your data, not your convenience.
Where did my file go? I cannot find it in Photos.+
Look in the Files app under Downloads — that is where Safari puts it. Tap the video, then Share and Save Video to copy it into Photos. iOS never writes browser downloads directly to the camera roll.
Can I pick the quality on a phone?+
Yes, exactly as on desktop. The tool lists every rendition the post has, labelled by resolution. On mobile data, a smaller rendition downloads noticeably faster.
Does the Chrome extension work on iPhone?+
No — browser extensions are a desktop feature. On iPhone and iPad the tool on this page is the complete solution, and it needs no installation at all.
On desktop later? One click does the rest
The Chrome extension copies text, media, links and author from any post while you browse x.com. Free 3-day trial — extend by 7 more days with Google sign-in. No credit card.
