Common Public app download issues
Using a non-shareable app link
The downloader requires a public, shareable link from the Public app. If the URL is incomplete or copied from the wrong screen, the extraction may fail.
Video opens instead of saving
Some mobile browsers treat Public app media as streamable content. Open the file first, then use the browser save or share action to keep the video.
Save tips for mobile
Save to camera roll
After the file opens, use your browser share or download action to save the MP4 into your phone's files area or camera roll.
Check your Files app
If the clip does not appear in the gallery right away, open your Files or Downloads app first and move it from there.
