Bug or feature? Immediate download of linked .mov file from post. (sh.itjust.works)

Happy New Year, friends.

Was using Boost recently (Android, sh.itjust.works) clicking the thumbnail of a post that looked like an image of video.

Next I saw (a version of) my phone's downloads folder, where the .mov video had saved.

I was a little freaked that clicking a post thumbnail caused a file to immediately get downloaded and saved on my device - no prompt or otherwise.

The post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/52568758

Can I ask if this is intentional? Or a bug with Boost? Post was setup incorrectly? Or maybe the post's target doesn't 'stream' .mov videos as-such; just sends them to be saved. But still no prompt.

What version of Android are you using?

It works fine for me on Android 16.

    I'm on Android 16 as well.

    I've quickly run through my settings to see if anything relates, but nothing stood-out.

    When you say 'works fine'; do you mean it just plays the video for you?
