Sometimes the most interesting and rare clips are found on social networks. Unlike some WhatsApp forwarders, you probably want to save these videos. But saving videos from apps like Instagram and Twitter isn’t a straightforward process.
According to Statista, the number of Twitter users in the world reached close to 430 million in 2021. By 2025, the number is projected to reach approximately 500 million users worldwide.
Twitter began its journey as a social networking site where users could post short 140-character posts called tweets. Now, it’s “a communication hub for photos, videos, audio clips and more,” reports Business Insider.
