HACKED? How to Download Private Twitter Videos (The Truth)
Every day, thousands of people search for "Twitter private video downloader". They want to save a funny clip from a locked account or archive a memory from a friend with a private profile. But can you really do it?
⚠️ The Short Answer
NO online tool (including XSaver) can download videos from a private account unless you are logged in as that user. If a website claims it can "hack" a private account just by pasting a link, IT IS A SCAM.
Why Online Downloaders Can't See Private Videos
When you paste a link into XSaver (or any other tool), our server tries to visit that link to find the video file.
If the account is Public, everything works perfectly. We grab the video, process it, and give you the MP4.
However, if the account is Private (locked), Twitter/X servers say: "Stop! Who are you? You don't follow this person." Since our server doesn't "follow" every private account on Earth, access is denied. This is a good thing—it protects your privacy too!
🚨 WARNING: Do NOT Give Your Password
Some scam sites will say: "Login with your Twitter account to download this private video!"
NEVER DO THIS.
- They will steal your password.
- They will post spam from your account.
- Your account will be banned by X.
The ONLY Safe Way to Save Private Videos
If you follow the person and can see the video on your phone, you CAN save it, but not with a downloader tool. You must use Screen Recording.
On iPhone (iOS)
- Go to Settings > Control Center and add "Screen Recording".
- Open the X app and find the private video.
- Swipe down from the top-right corner.
- Tap the Rec (Circle) button.
- Play the video in full screen.
- Stop recording. The video is now in your Photos app!
On Android
- Swipe down twice to open Quick Settings.
- Tap Screen Record (or edit tiles to find it).
- Choose "Media sounds" to record the audio.
- Play the video on X.
- Stop recording to save it to your Gallery.
Conclusion
Privacy is important. XSaver respects X's security rules. That's why we are the most trusted downloader for Public videos.
If the account is public, simply copy the link and paste it on XSaver Homepage for an instant, high-quality MP4 download!
