We’ll be using two different methods to save videos from Twitter. Feel free to use the one that’s more convenient for you. Let’s get started.

How to Save Twitter Videos

  1. Using an app
  2. Using an online video downloader

Step 1: Head to the AppStore and download the MyMedia app. It’s a free ad-supported app, but you can buy the premium version if you don’t want to see ads.

How to Download Twitter Videos on Android

The idea is the same, the only difference is we’ll be using a different platform. Without further delay, let’s get to it.

Step 1: Open the Play Store on your android phone and download “Download Twitter Videos” 

Step 2: Once you have it installed, find the tweet, which contains the video you want to download. Tap the drop-down arrow at the top right-hand side of the tweet and tap on “Copy link to Tweet.”

Step 3: Now, with the link copied, go to the app, paste the tweet URL, and hit the download icon to start downloading the video. You’ll have three options to save the video with the resolution that’s best for you.

How to Download Twitter Videos on a Computer
