Download Twitter Videos on iPhone (X Video Downloader)

By DropZap Editorial TeamLast reviewed

Saving Twitter (X) videos on an iPhone is simple when you use Safari. You don't need to install any app from the App Store. A web-based X video downloader handles the entire process in a few taps and saves the MP4 to the Files app.

How to download Twitter/X videos on iPhone

  1. Open the tweet with the video and tap Share → Copy Link.
  2. Open Safari and visit dropzap.digital/twitter-video-downloader.
  3. Paste the link and tap Download.
  4. When the MP4 finishes, tap it and choose Save to Files.
  5. Move the video to Photos if you want it in your Camera Roll.

Why iPhone users should use Safari

  • No App Store limits: Apple restricts many downloader apps, so the web version is more reliable.
  • No permissions: Apps often ask for photo or contact access. Safari doesn't.
  • Always updated: The website adapts to Twitter/X changes automatically.

Can you download X GIFs on iPhone?

Yes. Twitter/X GIFs are saved as MP4 files. The MP4 plays in the iOS Photos app and can be converted to GIF with a shortcut if needed.
