Media or link
A post with no media is saved as a link without asking, and links saved in a batch are saved as links. Several photos or videos from one post are grouped into one tile, titled with the author's handle.
Save the post's link, for example from the widget, by pasting or dropping it, or from a browser extension.
If the post has photos or video, Resurf asks Capture media or link?
Press Return for the media or ⌘L for the link, or click the button. On the receipt, tick Remember my choice to stop asking.
Share the post to Save to Resurf, or save its link in the app.
The sheet asks Save the link or the media?
Tap Keep the link or Save the media. Turn on Remember my choice to stop asking.
Set a default
On Mac, open Settings → General → Social link capture. On iPhone and iPad, open Settings → Social link capture. Choose Ask each time (the default), Media or Link.
Questions
