Download Twitter Videos on iPhone
Straight to your Camera Roll from Safari — no app to install.
iOS doesn't let apps save Twitter videos directly, but Safari can. Paste a tweet link here, download the MP4, and it lands in Files — from there it's one tap to your Photos.
Prefer it hands-free? Add this page to your Share Sheet or run it as an Apple Shortcut so any tweet is two taps from your Camera Roll.

FAQ
Where do downloaded videos go on iPhone?+
By default to Files → Downloads. Open the video there and tap Share → Save Video to move it into Photos/Camera Roll.

No. Safari alone works. A Shortcut just makes it faster — optional.
Does it work on iPad?+
Yes, identically. iPadOS Safari saves the MP4 to Files the same way.
