Native Threads Shortcut for iPhone & iPad: 1-Tap Camera Roll Downloads
Skip the friction of switching to Safari, copying links, and managing downloads in secondary tabs. With the official THDownload Apple Shortcut, saving Threads media becomes a native, one-tap action integrated directly into your iOS Share Sheet.
How the iOS Share Sheet integration works
Once added to your Shortcuts app, THDownload registers as a valid sharing destination. Whenever you encounter a video in the Threads app, tap Share > THDownload. The shortcut queries our API, downloads the full HD MP4 file, and saves it straight to Photos.
Is this shortcut safe for my iPhone?
Completely safe. Unlike untrusted third-party apps that require enterprise certificates, Apple Shortcuts run inside Apple's sandboxed environment. You can review every workflow step inside the Shortcuts app before adding it.
First-time setup tips in iOS
The first time you run the shortcut from the Share Sheet, iOS will prompt you to grant access to THDownload and your Photos app. Tap "Always Allow" for seamless, silent one-tap downloads going forward.
