While browsing Twitter, we frequently come across video clips that are worth sharing. But Twitter does not offer a native video download option. So, we have to use other third-party apps and websites to get the job done. Let me show you how to download Twitter videos on iPhone, Android, and Computer.

How to Save Twitter Videos to iPhone Camera Roll
There are two primary ways to download videos from Twitter to camera roll on iPhone. One involves Shortcuts, and the other uses third party iOS file manager apps. Let me show you both.
I. Using Shortcuts
Before you begin: Make sure you have allowed Untrusted Shortcuts from the Settings app → Shortcuts → Enable Allow Untrusted Shortcuts → Allow → enter device passcode.
If you can’t enable it, open the Shortcuts app and run any shortcut you see under My Shortcuts. Now, come back and turn on the toggle for Allow Untrusted Shortcuts.
- Add the “Twitter Video Downloader V2.6” shortcut to your library. To do so, tap on the link, scroll to the bottom and tap on Add Untrusted Shortcut.
- Open the Twitter app. Visit the tweet with the video you wish to download.
- Tap the share icon. Tap Share Tweet via… Scroll down the Share Sheet and tap on Twitter Video Downloader.
- Let the shortcut run. Give it the necessary permissions (tap OK) if it asks now or in the next step.
- Choose video quality. It will begin to download the video. You will see a successful confirmation on the screen when it is done.
Now, open the Photos app, and you have the video there!
This is a straightforward way. Once you add the shortcut, all future Twitter video downloads are smooth. Now, let me show you another method.
