With the launch of iOS 12, many power users were excited about the new Shortcuts app as it allows them to automate tasks on iOS, something which was not natively possible before. One of the best things about Shortcuts is that you don’t have to learn to create your own shortcuts as you can download and install pre-created shortcuts to enjoy these features for yourself.
Now, before we begin this tutorial I would like to mention that you should never use someone else’s videos on your own social media platform without getting explicit consent from them. This shortcut is meant to be used to get your own data from these sites, or perhaps for educational purposes such as a class report or project, but please never use the feature to download copyrighted content or violate privacy. With that out of the way, let’s see how you can use this shortcut.
Once you have installed the app, click on the link to download the social media downloader shortcut. To do that, first tap on the “Get Shortcut” button and then tap on “Open”.
Now that you have the shortcut installed on your device, open either Twitter or Instagram on your phone. I will be using Twitter for this tutorial.
