Tips
- If you plan to use the photo you download in your own tweet, be sure to mention the person who tweeted it first. To mention another X user in a tweet, just add their @ name (e.g., @wikiHow) in the body of your tweet.Thanks
- Downloading videos from X is a little more complicated than downloading photos, as you'll need to use a video downloader website .Thanks
