# Download Pinterest on iPhone

{% hint style="success" %}
**Save Pinterest videos and images directly to your iPhone Camera Roll — free.** Since iOS doesn't support Chrome extensions, use the SortPin Telegram Bot for instant mobile downloads. Works on all iPhones (SE, 6-16 Pro Max).
{% endhint %}

> 🎉 **Trusted by 40,000+ Pinterest users worldwide** — a huge portion are iPhone users using our Telegram Bot.

## ⚠️ Important — Why You Can't Install SortPin Extension on iPhone

Chrome on iOS **doesn't support extensions** (this is an Apple restriction, not SortPin's). Fortunately, we have a better mobile solution: the **Telegram Bot**.

Open [**@SortPin\_bot**](https://t.me/sortpin_bot) → tap **Start**.

### Step 3 — Copy a Pinterest URL

In Pinterest app: tap a pin → **Share** → **Copy Link**.

## 🌐 Method 2: Website Tool (Safari on iPhone)

## 🍎 iOS-Specific Tips

* 📸 **Save all frames** for Idea Pins — bot returns each frame separately
* 🎬 **Live Photos** — Pinterest videos save as MP4 (not Live Photos)
* 📁 **Files app** — long-press downloaded file → **Save to Files** for folder organization
* 🌐 **Add bot to Home Screen** — for instant access
* 🔗 **Shortcuts app** — create iOS Shortcut to auto-forward Pinterest links to bot

***

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting on iPhone

### "Save to Camera Roll" not showing up

Enable Telegram → **Settings → Privacy → Photos → Read and Write**.

### "Bot doesn't respond"

* Make sure you typed `/pin` before the URL
* Restart Telegram → tap `/start` in bot chat

### "URL not recognized"

Copy the URL from Pinterest **Share → Copy Link** (not from Safari address bar). The Share URL format works best.

### "Video downloads without sound"

Some Pinterest videos are silent MP4s (converted from GIFs). If original has no audio, download won't either.

### "Downloaded file quality is low"

You get the same quality the creator uploaded. iPhone can display up to 4K.
