    Open the Threads App

    Copy the Post Link

    Open Safari Browser

    Open Safari browser on your device and navigate to snapthreads.app. Paste the copied link into the input field at the top of the page. Our downloader will instantly fetch and display the post content.

    Save to Photos App

    Tap the download button next to the media you want to save. The video or photo will automatically download and save to your Photos app, appearing in your Recents album immediately.

    Configuring Safari Settings for Optimal Downloads

    Ensure your Safari browser is properly configured for downloading Threads content:

    Enable Downloads in Safari

    If downloads aren't working properly, verify these Safari settings:

    1. Open iOS Settings and scroll down to Safari
    2. Locate and tap the "Downloads" section
    3. Verify downloads are enabled and not blocked
    4. Select your preferred download location: "On My iPhone" for local storage or "iCloud Drive" for cloud storage
    5. If prompted, allow pop-ups for snapthreads.app to ensure smooth download functionality

    Note: Make sure Safari is not in Private Browsing mode, as this can interfere with downloads.

    Resolving Common iOS Download Issues

    Solutions for typical problems iOS users encounter when downloading:

    Video or photo won't download?

    Check your internet connection strength and verify you have sufficient storage space on your iPhone or iPad. Navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage to review available space and free up storage if needed. If using iCloud, ensure iCloud Photos has enough space available.

    Can't locate the downloaded file?

    Videos and photos are automatically saved to your Photos app. Open the Photos app and check the "Recents" album where newly downloaded content appears at the top. You can also check the "Downloads" album if your iOS version creates one. For files saved to Files app, check the Downloads folder in the Files app.

    Safari blocking or preventing downloads?

    Navigate to Settings > Safari > Downloads and verify a download location is selected ("On My iPhone" or "iCloud Drive"). Disable any content blockers temporarily by going to Settings > Safari > Content Blockers. Ensure Safari isn't in Private Browsing mode by checking if the Safari interface is dark/gray instead of white.
