X, formerly known as Twitter, now makes it very easy to download images from tweets on every platform. This How.com.vn teaches you how to save images from X to your computer, phone, or tablet.
Steps
Open the X app on your phone or tablet. It's the black background with a white X that should be on your home screen or app list.
Scroll to the image you want to save. You can save an image from your feed or by visiting the profile of the person who shared it.Advertisement
Tap the photo. This opens a larger version of the photo.- If the image you want to save is a part of a gallery (multiple images in the same tweet), you can tap the tweet to view all gallery photos, and then tap the photo to open it.
- If you want to download all photos in a gallery, tap the back button when you're finished with this method to return to the gallery, and then select the next photo to download. You'll need to download each separately.
Tap the three-dot menu ⋮. It's at the top-right corner of the photo. A menu will expand.
Tap Save on the menu. If you haven't saved any X images before, you may be asked to give X permission to access your photos. Your image will then be saved to your photo library.

- Downloading videos from X is a little more complicated than downloading photos, as you'll need to use a video downloader website.Thanks
