How to Download on iPhone (iOS)

Apple’s security can make downloading files a bit tricky if you don't know the shortcut. Here is the easiest way:

3. Paste and Hit Download: Paste the URL and click the download button.
4. The iOS Secret: Once the download options appear, long-press the download button and select "Download Linked File". Your video will appear in the "Downloads" folder in your Files app.

How to Download on Android

Android makes file management simple. Follow these steps:

1. Get the URL: Tap the share button on the Threads post and copy the link to your clipboard.
2. Paste into ThreadsSave: Use Chrome or your favorite browser to visit our site.
3. Download: Tap Download. When the file starts fetching, your browser will prompt you to save the MP4.
4. Gallery Ready: Once finished, the video will automatically show up in your Gallery or Google Photos app under "Downloads".

Pro Tips for Mobile Downloading

• Check for Public Status: You cannot download videos from accounts that are set to "Private". The account must be public for our tool to fetch the file safely.
• High Quality Only: By default, we always fetch the highest resolution available. If the creator uploaded in 1080p, that's what you'll get.
• Save Data: If you're on a limited data plan, try downloading while connected to Wi-Fi, especially for longer high-definition clips.

Stop losing your favorite videos to the feed. Save them forever with ThreadsSave.
