2. How to Save Twitter Videos on iPhone

In the next part, we will walk you through 2 methods to download Twitter videos to your iPhone camera roll if you are accustomed to using the Twitter app on iPhone.

Using Twitter to MP4 Converter for iPhone

1. Open Twitter and find the video you want to save.

2. Click the share button under the video. Choose Share Tweet via... and copy its link to the clipboard.

3. Open Safari, and type savetweetvid.com to enter this downloading site.

4. Paste the link and tap Download.

5. Select video resolution. Rename the video file and select a folder to save it.

6. When the Twitter video is downloaded, go to the Photos app, and you'll find the video in the folder you just selected.

Note:
Follow the instruction step by step, but no downloading option pops up when you hit Download? That's because iOS places each app in a sandbox for security reasons and doesn't allow sharing data among apps. To solve this problem, you have to install a file managing app first, like say MyMedia.

Using iPhone Shortcuts

1. Add the TVDL v3.1 shortcut to your library and allow untrusted shortcuts in the Settings.

2. Now go to the Twitter app and tap on the share icon under the video. Choose Share Tweet via..., and scroll down the screen until you find TVDL v3.1. Tap to run the shortcut.

3. Tap OK when it asks any permission.

4. Select the video quality, and then it will begin to convert Twitter to MP4 on your iPhone.

5. When it is done, a Success message windows will pop up. Hit OK, and you'll find the video in the Photos app.

Note:

This can solve Twitter video downloading issues once and for all, but it depends on whether you have added the shortcut correctly. Otherwise, no downloader shortcut appears in the Share option. And these shortcuts expire frequently, you have to keep them updated all the time.

To be honest, neither of them are straightforward solutions. You cannot download Twitter videos on iPhone without installing other tools. But if you have downloaded videos to your computer with VideoProc Converter AI, you can transfer them to your iPhone with just a tap.
