How to Save Tumblr Videos to Your Camera Roll: The Ultimate Guide
If you’ve found yourself scrolling through Tumblr and suddenly stumble upon a gem of a video you just need to save—you’re in good company! Welcome to the club of frustrated apple-ites trying to figure out how to capture those fleeting digital masterpieces. Let’s have some fun while we do this!
Step 1: Get Yourself a Video Downloading Shortcut
First thing’s first, hit up the Download File Shortcut. This nifty shortcut works wonders, like your fairy godmother of file downloads! Just add it to your iPhone. Make sure you enable the “Show in Share Sheet” option so it’s always at your fingertips. You don’t want to be scouring through your phone like you’re on a treasure hunt every time you need this feature!
Step 2: A Play with Airplane Mode
Sometimes, to catch the elusive video, you have to think outside the box. Put your phone on airplane mode, and then long-press on the screen to summon the magical dropdown menu. Turn your data back on and select “Download Linked File As.” Voilà! It’s like you’re pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Weird? Yes. Effective? You bet!
Step 3: Access and Save the Video
After you’ve summoned your video from the deep abyss of the internet, you’re going to want to save it. If you’re using an app like Video Lite, it’ll save directly inside its own app. Feel free to open the download list, long-press the video, and—boom—time to save that masterpiece! Kinda like keeping a pet rock, but way cooler.
Step 4: Explore Alternative Browsers
If Safari is being a jerk, switch it up with other browsers. Consider browsers like Aloha or using a dedicated file management app like Documents by Readdle. They usually have built-in browsing capabilities that make video downloads a piece of cake. Yeah, you heard me!
Step 5: Screen Recording – The Last Resort
If all else fails (and boy, isn’t that a familiar story?), screen recording is your best friend. Just swipe up (or down if you’re fancy) to access that control center and hit the record button while your video plays. Sure, it’s like using a sledgehammer to put together a coffee table, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures!
In a world full of complications, let’s keep it simple: save that video on your camera roll and make your Tumblr experience just a tad more delightful!
