What does 'tap, hold and load in 4K' mean on Twitter? The meme, explained
If you’re on X (formerly known as Twitter) and you’ve seen a bunch of brands ask you to “tap, hold and load in 4K,” you might be confused.
I know I was. But it turns out this is definitely a thing.
If you really do tap on an image on the mobile app version of X and hold down your finger, you can save an image in 4K. Pretty cool! No one really knew about it. And per Know Your Meme, this started earlier this month thanks to the post of a starry night.
There’s your explanation! Enjoy some of these 4K images if you’re on mobile:
