Download Threads Videos on iPhone

Save Threads videos and photos on your iPhone right in Safari, then move them to your camera roll.

Paste the full Threads post URL above. Works with videos and photos.

No app or shortcut needed

You don't need a downloader app from the App Store or an iOS Shortcut to save Threads videos. ThreadSave runs in Safari, the browser already on your iPhone, and hands you the original MP4 or JPG file from the post. It works the same on iPad.

How to download a Threads video on iPhone

  1. Copy the link. In the Threads app tap the share icon (paper plane) under the post and choose Copy link.
  2. Open this page in Safari, tap the box at the top and choose Paste – or tap the Paste button next to it.
  3. Tap Download, then tap the video or photo button. If Safari asks whether to download the file, tap Download.

The download arrow at the top of Safari shows the progress and opens the file when it's done.

How to move the video to your camera roll

Safari saves downloads to the Files app, in the Downloads folder – not straight to Photos. To get the video into your camera roll:

  1. Open Files → Downloads and tap the video.
  2. Tap the share icon and choose Save Video (for a picture: Save Image).

The video now appears in Photos next to your own clips, ready to edit or share.
