Steps to saving videos on Telegram

If you want to save a video to your gallery from Telegram, here are the steps you should take.

• You will first have to open up the Telegram app on your phone and log into your account if you are not already logged in.
• Now, open the chat with someone from whom you recently received a video.
• Find the video in the chat and click on the downside arrow on the video. The download process should begin immediately. After that, you can find that video in your phone’s gallery.

Also, if you want to turn on the automatic downloading of the videos whenever you receive one, here’s how:

• Once you are in the app and logged into your account, go to the three lines icon in the top left corner to open the settings menu.
• Tap on Settings
• Tap on the Data and Storage section.
• Under "Automatic Media Download," tap on the switch next to "When connected to Wi-Fi".
• The changes will be saved automatically.

From now on, whenever you get a video from someone on Telegram, it will be automatically saved to your gallery.
