Safari download tips for iOS

iOS 13 minimum - the Files app and Safari download manager require iOS 13 or later. Update through Settings > General > Software Update.
Download prompt - the first time you download, Safari will ask for permission. Tap Allow to continue.
View downloads - tap the aA icon in the Safari address bar, then tap Downloads to see your files.
Private Browsing - downloads still work in Private mode, but files are deleted when you close the private tab.

Why TikItDown beats screen recording on iOS

Screen recording on iPhone captures the TikTok watermark, your status bar, notifications, and all on-screen controls. The resulting video has lower quality than the original. TikItDown gives you the clean source file at full resolution - no watermarks, no quality loss, and no need to trim out unwanted elements afterward.
