Share Reels and TikToks straight to Swiva on iPhone and Android

You do not need to copy the link, paste it into a note and decipher it three weeks later. Share it straight to the place where you will use it.

The quick route from Reel to list

Open the share menu on the Reel or TikTok and choose Swiva. Swiva creates an editable draft. You review it, add missing context and only then save it to a list.

This uses the normal share menu. Swiva does not need access to your Instagram or TikTok account and does not download the video as a file.

In four steps

  • 1. Open the post

    Open the Reel or TikTok you genuinely want to find or try later.

  • 2. Tap Share

    Use the share icon in the relevant app. Depending on the app version, Swiva may appear directly or under “More.”

  • 3. Review the draft

    Check the title, place and description. Short videos especially deserve a quick fact check with the original provider.

  • 4. Choose a list

    Save the activity where you will look for it later: “date,” “with visitors,” “rainy Vienna” or simply “this week.”

When Swiva does not appear in the share menu

  • Update both apps

    First check that Swiva and Instagram or TikTok are up to date. Some apps only show new share targets after a restart.

  • Look under “More”

    On many devices, Swiva is not among the first icons. Open the full list of share targets and add Swiva to your favorites if needed.

  • Send the link manually if needed

    You can copy the link and create an activity in Swiva manually. Sharing is convenient, but it is not required.

Add your own context before saving

An import may know the place name. It does not know that your friend dislikes sushi, that you only have two hours or that you want to try the recipe vegetarian. One short personal sentence makes the activity much more useful later.

A few quick answers

Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The flow uses the system share menu. The exact position of the Swiva icon may differ slightly by operating system and app version.

Does Swiva download the Reel or TikTok?

No. Swiva creates an activity and keeps the source as a link. It is not a video downloader.

Can I discard the import?

Yes. Drafts are not confirmed automatically. If a draft does not fit, you can edit or discard it.

Your next good idea gets to stay.

Save it to Swiva and come back to it when you actually have time for it.
