Xiaomi Phone Guide

Downloading TikTok videos on a Xiaomi phone running MIUI or HyperOS.

Xiaomi phones (running MIUI or the newer HyperOS) handle downloads and permissions a bit differently from stock Android, mostly around how aggressively the system manages background apps and storage.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open the TikTok video and tap Share → Copy link.
  2. Open your browser (Mi Browser or Chrome) and go to savetiktok.sbs.
  3. Paste the link, tap Download.
  4. Tap Download Video on the preview.

Where the File Lands

Downloads save to a Download folder, accessible through the Files app (called "Files" or sometimes "Mi File Manager" depending on your MIUI/HyperOS version) under Internal storage → Download. Like Samsung phones, this doesn't always sync automatically into the Gallery app.

Getting It Into Gallery

  1. Open the Files app.
  2. Go to Download.
  3. Long-press the video, tap Move.
  4. Move it into DCIM/Camera (or another Gallery-indexed folder).

A Xiaomi-Specific Gotcha

MIUI/HyperOS is known for aggressively restricting background activity and storage access for apps it doesn't recognize as "trusted." If your browser download seems to silently fail or not appear, check Settings → Apps → [your browser] → Battery saver and make sure it's not set to a restricted mode, and check Permissions → Storage is allowed.

Try it at savetiktok.sbs using Mi Browser or Chrome.
