How to Download X (Twitter) Videos on iPhone

Save X and Twitter videos and GIFs to your iPhone Camera Roll from the Share sheet — no screen recording or third-party apps needed.

Saving X (Twitter) videos on iPhone usually means screen recording — which captures UI chrome and loses quality — or trusting random downloader sites. All Media Downloader lets you share a post directly from the X app and save the original video or GIF to your Photos library.

Before you start

  • Install All Media Downloader from iCloud
  • Complete setup with your Pro subscription and AMD key
  • iOS 15+

Download an X or Twitter video

  1. Open the post with the video in the X app.
  2. Tap Share (the share icon on the post).
  3. Choose All Media Downloader from the share sheet.
  4. The video saves to Photos → Recents.

Works for native video uploads on public posts. Quoted posts and threads use the media attached to the post you shared from.

Download a GIF from X

X serves many GIFs as short video files. Share the post the same way — AMD saves the underlying media to Photos. The file may appear as a video (.mp4) rather than a .gif, which is normal and plays back smoothly on iOS.

  1. Open an x.com or twitter.com status URL in Safari.
  2. Tap Share → All Media Downloader.

Useful when someone sent you a link in Messages or email instead of opening the X app.

Tips

  • Public posts only — protected accounts and posts you cannot view will fail.
  • Add AMD to Share favorites so it appears without scrolling.
  • Update the shortcut from iCloud when X changes break older versions.

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
No video in post Some posts are text-only or link previews — share a post with attached media
AMD missing from Share Edit Actions → add All Media Downloader to Favorites
Download fails Confirm Pro + key; update shortcut; try Wi‑Fi

FAQ

How do I save a Twitter video to my iPhone Camera Roll?

Open the post in X, tap Share, and select All Media Downloader. The video saves to your Photos app automatically — no screen recording required.

Does this work on X after the Twitter rebrand?

Yes. AMD supports both x.com and twitter.com links. The Share-sheet workflow is identical in the current X app.

Can I download videos from private X accounts?

Only if you can view the post while logged in. AMD cannot bypass account privacy or blocks.
