How to save a video attachment with iOS 5 on iPhone or iPad
7:44:00 PM
Wondering how to save video attachments you get in Email to your iPhone,
iPod touch, or iPad camera roll? In previous versions of iOS, while you could
easily tap-and-hold to save pictures in Mail, Safari, Messages and other
built-in-apps, trying to do the same with movies — movies mailed or messaged
from other iPhones and iPads! — did nothing. (Except frustrate me. Seriously. I
almost dented my iPhone trying!)
iOS 5 changes that. Now, just like with pictures, all you have to do to save a
video is:
1.
Open the email, messages, etc. that
you received the movie in
2.
Tap on the icon or preview and hold on
it
3.
When the Save Video button pops up,
Tap it!
That’s it. The video will now be saved to your Camera Roll for you to use
as you so wish.
