More and more people want download videos posted on TikTok, the mobile social network that has exploded especially among younger generations and is already worrying even Netflix and YouTube. The application does not allow us to do it easily, let alone from the iPhone, but there are tools that allow us to download these videos from iOS without having to go through the App Store.
So you can download TikToks on iPhone
To achieve this, we can use the TTDownloader website, which simply asks us to enter the URL of a TikTok video so that it generates various download links. If you need the link of a TikTok video to test, here is one of our colleagues from Xataka:
You can paste this link directly on the web and click the “Get Video” button:
TTDownloader will generate the links to download the video with or without watermarkplus a third link to download the audio only:
If you click directly on these links, you will open the video in another tab. All you have to do is hold your finger on the link you are interested in and click on ‘Download linked file’ in the menu that appears:
The video you chose to upload will be saved directly to the “Downloads” folder of iCloud Drive and you can locate it in the Files app. If you haven’t enabled iCloud Drive, the video will be saved to the Downloads folder in the “On My iPhone” directory.
From there, you can include it in the photo library, share it by email or instant messaging or modify it to make it a home edition. Remember that some TikTok videos may have rights and therefore, you may risk having your social media accounts shut down if you redistribute them.
Keep in mind that these types of websites come and go, so TTDownloader may stop working in the long run. You can use very similar alternatives like SaveTT or Ssstick if this happens. All of these options are free, but for this reason they will show you ads during the process of pasting the URL and downloading the resulting video.
There are other alternatives to download TikTok videos from iPhone: you can use a Telegram bot or a Siri shortcut if you are one of those who like to use these automations. On your side, you just have to choose the one that best suits you and your routines.
