Want to save an X or Twitter video to your iPhone? Apple doesn't make it easy by default — but with the right method, you can download X videos directly to your iPhone camera roll in HD quality for free. No jailbreak, no paid app needed. This guide works on every iPhone running iOS 15 through iOS 18.

Best method for iPhone: use Safari browser to visit xvideodownload.online — it works perfectly on all iPhones running iOS 15 and above.

Method 1 — Using Safari (Easiest)

Copy the X video link

Open the X app on your iPhone. Find the tweet with the video. Tap the Share icon → tap Copy Link.

Open Safari and go to xvideodownload.online

Open Safari on your iPhone. Type xvideodownload.online in the address bar and load the page.

Paste the URL and tap Fetch Video

Tap the input box → paste the URL → tap Fetch Video. The video info and quality options will appear.

Download and save to Photos

Select your quality (HD 1080p, 720p, or 480p) and tap Download Video. When the download finishes, tap and hold the video → tap Save to Photos.

Method 2 — Using the Files App (Save as File)

If you prefer to keep the video as a file rather than adding it to Photos:

After tapping Download Video, tap the Share icon that appears
Tap Save to Files
Choose a location (iCloud Drive or On My iPhone) and tap Save

This is handy if you want to keep your Photos library uncluttered or share the file later via AirDrop.
