    Open the Twitter app or X app on your iPhone. Navigate to the tweet containing the video you want to download. Tap the share icon (↗) below the tweet.
  2. Copy the Tweet Link
    From the share menu, tap "Copy Link" to copy the tweet URL to your clipboard. You'll see a brief notification confirming the link was copied.
  3. Open Safari and Go to DownloadTwitter.net
    Open Safari browser (not Chrome or other browsers) and navigate to downloadtwitter.net
  4. Paste the Link and Download
    Tap the input field and paste the copied link. Tap the "Download Video" button to analyze the video.
  5. Choose Quality and Download
    Select your preferred video quality (1080p, 720p, etc.) and tap the Download button. Safari will begin downloading the video.
  6. Access Downloads
    Tap the download icon (↓) in Safari's address bar to see your download progress. Once complete, tap on the video file.
