X video download

X is currently one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. This platform relies heavily on information distribution which includes text based information and video based information. Videos give this platform an edge when compared to others.


Users can now download Videos on X


Getting information from a video, along with sharing the link to the video has been easy. Downloading a video on the other hand has been impossible. Users always believed being able to download a video will be beneficial to the platform and attract new users and I for one agree but right now everything has changed.

Users can now download Videos on the platform. This unfortunately doesn’t apply to Videos found on the main timeline. It is only applicable to Videos in DM’s and it is currently live. DM (Direct messages) is a private messaging feature on the platform which allows users privately communicate with each other. This new feature only applies on videos sent from today onward (January 20, 2024). You won’t be able to download videos sent in the past.


How to download videos


In order to download videos in your DM, long press the video and you will see various options. These are “Reply”, “Download”,” Add Reaction” and “Delete Message for You”. Click on the Download Video option and you have successfully downloaded a video on X. Just a few months ago people said this feature will never be implemented meanwhile others hoped it be


Closure


The addition of this new feature will make X more desirable. Even though user can’t download videos from the main timeline as of the moment, this is a good start. This feature will eventually be upgraded and it might even feature choosing download quality. The recent changes to the platform has been very positive. Some examples include the subscription tiers, X’s personalized AI known as Grok, and the monetization of posts. It is also easy to get information about upcoming features because X’s software developers are open and tend to share what they’ve worked on in the platform without any hurdles.
