How to Download GIFs from Twitter on iPhone
We have recommended two apps that you can use to save GIFs from the Twitter mobile app on iPhone. Let’s look at how both of these apps work:
Using GIFWrapped App
If you wish to download GIFs from Twitter on your iOS device, GIFWrapped is the app you need. This app lets you directly download and save your desired GIFs seamlessly. However, personally, I feel the developer should update the app’s UI, as it seems quite outdated. That said, follow the below-mentioned steps to see how it works:
And voila! You are now ready to download and save your favorite GIFs to your iOS device. You can reuse them wherever you like and make commenting on posts more fun.
Using Gifitize App
Another amazing app that you can try out isGifitize. Gifitize reduces the two-step copy-and-paste procedure of GIFWrapped and lets you directly share the desired tweet with the GIF to the app. Personally, I like the Gifitize UI, as it’s modern compared to GIFWrapped.

How to Download GIFs from Twitter on Android
Using Tweet2gif App
You can download Twitter GIFs on your Android phone using the Tweet2gif app. Tweet2gif streamlines the process of saving GIFs you like to your device and allows you to directly download them in either .mp4 or .GIF format. Although the app functions as intended, the UI and the processing time taken could be improved. That said, let’s look at the steps to follow:
Alternatively, you can also use the “Download Twitter Videos – GIF” app available on the Google Play Store (download). You can either copy and paste the tweet link in the app or use the “Share via”option in the Twitter to directly share the tweet link to this app. You will then see the GIF and MP4 download options, and you can choose the one you prefer.
The Download Twitter Videos – GIF app has a clean UI, one that’s definitely better than Tweet2gif, but there’s one major caveat. The app is filled with ads, including banner ads and video ads pop-ups. However, you can get rid of the ads for a mere sum of $2.99, which is great.
