How to Save Videos on iPhone and Android
On iPhone, downloads go to the Files app, not Photos. On Android they land in the Downloads folder and your gallery picks them up.
steps
- Copy the share link. Tap Share on the post and pick Copy link.
- Open fastsaver.io. The link is already in the box, or paste it.
- Hit download and pick the button you want: video, image, or mp3 on TikTok. YouTube shows a quality grid and an audio tile.
- Find the file. Files app on iPhone, Downloads folder on Android and desktop.
iphone: into the camera roll
Safari shows a download arrow near the address bar while the file comes in. Open the Files app, go to Downloads and tap the video. Tap the Share icon and choose Save Video. It is now in Photos. For a saved Instagram photo or Pinterest image the menu says Save Image instead. Once it is in Photos you can delete the copy in Files.
android and desktop
Android needs no extra steps. The file goes to the Downloads folder. Google Photos or your gallery app shows it within seconds. If it does not appear, pull down the notification shade and tap the finished download. Or open it through Files by Google. Desktop browsers drop the file in Downloads too.
when it won’t work
- The download never started. Paste the link again and retry. A flaky connection is the usual cause.
- Private accounts, Stories and deleted posts. Only public posts work.
- Huge 4K files from YouTube. Pick 1080p if storage is tight. You won’t see the difference on a phone.
Audio comes as mp3 from TikTok and m4a from YouTube. If you live in Telegram, @fastsaver_bot sends the file straight into the chat. Keep what you save for personal use; the legal side is covered in plain english.
