X on Android: what's different
X's 'GIFs' on Android are actually silent H.264 MP4s — SnapTok returns them as MP4 by default, which is what every Android Gallery and messaging app expects. If you specifically need a .gif file, use a Files app convert action or a dedicated MP4-to-GIF app from Play Store. X serves three quality tiers (small / medium / HD) and the X app picks based on your bandwidth; SnapTok always exposes the HD tier so you keep maximum quality even on 4G. Both x.com and twitter.com URLs resolve identically — the 2024 rename kept legacy links working. On Android Intent routing: a tap on any x.com URL inside WhatsApp / Telegram / Messages opens the X app instead of Chrome. The fix is long-press > Copy, then paste into SnapTok. You can disable this permanently in Settings > Apps > X > Open by default > clear supported links.
Why use SnapTok on Android

- Saves directly to your Downloads folder and Gallery
Troubleshooting X downloads on Android
- Tapping the tweet link opens the X app
- Long-press the link, Copy, paste into SnapTok in Chrome. To stop this permanently: Settings > Apps > X > Open by default > clear.
- Quote-tweet wrapper says no video found
- Open the original quoted tweet on x.com and copy its link — SnapTok needs the source tweet, not the quote.
- Downloaded GIF has no animation in Gallery
- X serves GIFs as MP4. They animate when played, but Android Gallery shows a static thumbnail. Open with a video player to confirm motion.
- File saves with no audio
- The original tweet's video may be muted at source. Check the tweet's player for a mute icon — X strips audio for some uploads.
