Did you come across a cute pet video or an inspiring TED Talk on Facebook that you wish to keep with yourself? While you can download Facebook videos uploaded by yourself, it doesn’t offer a feature to download them uploaded by others on your smartphone or computer.
However, Facebook offers a Save Video function, but that’s just the glorified version of bookmarking a video. Hence, it will need your internet access if you save the videos to watch later. Wondering how to download Facebook videos and watch them offline? Let’s look at the steps to download Facebook videos from your computer and smartphone.
How to download Facebook videos on a smartphone
To download a Facebook video on your smartphone, log in to Facebook and find the video you want to watch offline. Look for the three horizontal dots icon (…) above the video on your iPhone or Android phone and click on it.
Choose the ‘Copy link address‘ option and paste it on a new Chrome incognito tab. Now, long press the video, and a ‘Download Video‘ option will pop up. Click on that, and the video will be downloaded. Open the Photos app from your iPhone or Android and go to Library to find the downloaded video.
