How to Download Reddit Videos on iPhone & Android – 2026 Mobile Guide
Reddit's mobile apps are great for browsing, but they don't let you save videos directly to your phone. Whether you're on iPhone or Android, you need a workaround.
In this guide, I'll show you the fastest way to download Reddit videos on both iOS and Android — using a web-based tool that works in your browser, no app installation required.
The Simplest Method (Works for Both iPhone & Android)
You don't need a dedicated app. The Reddit Video Downloader works entirely in your mobile browser. Here's how to use it on any smartphone.
📱 For iPhone (iOS) Users
- Open Reddit in your Safari or Chrome browser (or the Reddit app).
- Go to the post with the video you want to save.
- Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow) and select "Copy Link".
- Open Safari/Chrome and go to Anonymiz.
- Paste the URL into the input box and tap "Download".
- When the download finishes, tap "Save to Files" or "Save to Photos".
Pro tip: On iOS, if the video opens in a new tab, long-press it and select "Save to Photos."
🤖 For Android Users
- Open Reddit in your browser or the official Reddit app.
- Navigate to the post with the video.
- Tap the Share button and choose "Copy Link".
- Open Chrome or your preferred browser and visit Anonymiz.
- Paste the link and tap "Download".
- Android will ask if you want to save the video — tap "Save" or "Download". It will appear in your Downloads folder or Gallery.
Pro tip: On Android, you can also enable "Desktop Site" mode if you encounter any issues.

Why Use a Web-Based Tool Instead of an App?
- No installation — saves storage space and time.
- Works on all devices — one tool for iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.
- Always up-to-date — no app updates required.
- Privacy-first — no app permissions needed (camera, contacts, etc.).
Troubleshooting Mobile Downloads
Video saves without sound?
This happens when the downloader only grabs the video track. Anonymiz automatically merges audio, so you always get a complete MP4.
Can't find the downloaded file?
- iPhone: Check your Photos app or the Files app under "Downloads."
- Android: Open your Files app and look in the "Downloads" folder.
Reddit URL isn't working?
Make sure you copied the full post URL (not just the subreddit link). It should contain /comments/ in the path.
