Target Intent FAQs

Why do Pinterest videos play instead of downloading on iPhone?

Safari defaults to inline video playback when CDN headers use Content-Disposition: inline. Our proxy injects attachment headers to force the native iOS download sheet.

How do I move the downloaded video from Files to my Photos app?

Open the Files app (or Safari download list), tap the video, tap the iOS Share icon in the bottom left, and tap "Save Video".

Does this work on iOS 15, 16, 17, and newer?

Yes, full compatibility is supported on all modern iOS and iPadOS versions with native Safari file downloading.

Is an Apple Shortcuts script needed?

No shortcuts or third-party apps like Documents by Readdle are needed; it works 100% in Safari.
