Step-by-Step: Save Threads Videos on iPhone

Step 1 — Copy the Threads Post Link

Open the Threads app and find the video post. Tap the three-dot menu (···) → Copy link. The URL is now on your clipboard.

Step 2 — Open SocialSave Hub in Safari or Chrome

Open Safari or Chrome on your iPhone and go to socialsavehub.com. Navigate to the Threads downloader.

Step 3 — Paste and Download

Tap the input field → paste the URL → tap Download. The video link appears in 2–5 seconds.

Step 4 — Save to iPhone

• Safari: Long-press the Download button → tap Download Linked File. Opens in Files app → On My iPhone → Downloads. To move to Photos: tap the video → Share → Save Video.
• Chrome: Tap Download. Chrome saves and shows a notification. Tap it → Share → Save Video to Photos.

Works on All iPhones

iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and SE (2nd and 3rd generation) — any iPhone running iOS 15 or later.

Troubleshooting

• Long-press shows no download option: Go to Settings → Safari → Downloads → set to On My iPhone. Retry.
• “Cannot Download Item” error: Storage is full. Free space in Settings → General → iPhone Storage.
• Private account: Only public Threads content can be downloaded.
• Download does nothing: Switch from Safari to Chrome — Chrome handles direct downloads more reliably on iOS.
