Fix iPhone download and save problems

Paste link does not work

Long-press the field and choose Paste. Browser privacy settings may block direct clipboard access.

No video appears after analysis

Check that the link opens and the post is public and still available. If fetching fails, try again later; the source may be temporarily unavailable.

The video is in Files but not Photos

Downloading does not automatically move every file to Photos. Open the download and use Share → Save Video when available. An unsupported format may not offer that option.

I cannot find Downloads

In Settings, open Apps → Safari → Downloads to check the save location. Older iOS versions may list Safari directly in Settings.

Download location reference

Apple explains where Safari downloads are stored. The location depends on your device settings.

Apple: find your downloads
