You can now save videos on 𝕏 for offline viewing 👀
A "Save Video" option is available in the 3-dot menu, and you can access the saved videos in the Offline section from the side menu.
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
Consider becoming verified and chipping-in because they need it
There are also downloaders that allow them to be saved as mp4’s.
There are third-party apps on edge and chrome that allow you to do this already
This only works on a mobile device, not a browser on a desktop computer.
Just tried it on my phone...
It says Unlock Offline videos with Premium
..
They have had that a while for “Premium Viewers.”
You have to pay, PLUS give a cell phone number - the cell phone bothers me more that the cost. Phones without SMS (receiving texts) will not work.
Not having premium is also annoying because you only have like 160 characters for messages. I have gotten good at succinctness, but it ends up looking more like flip-phone text than I would like. On things longer I use images on a document I make.
I use this for downloading more for preservation/documentation that for offline viewing, it is very simple, clean, and fast, no ads on my browser setup.
I really do not want to get a burner phone or give a cell to google.com to get an online number with SMS, google is worse than X.
So I will prob just bite the bu11et and use my cell#. We are in a serious political war now.
No doubt the big companies prob have our cells, but maybe offline such that is they were hacked you are a little safer. Once online, more risky. And places like X are where we write like we do here, so the more anonymous you can stay the better.
