How to Download Facebook Videos on Android Phone

Surely you have browsed your Facebook wall more than once and wanted to save a video on your phone that caught your attention. Perhaps a video of cats with which you can laugh over and over again, or a video of recipes with which to surprise your partner or, perhaps, a personal message from your idol that has only been transmitted through this social network. Anyway, there are certain methods you can use to download Facebook videos on your Android phone.

Here we leave you with a tutorial in which we explain clearly and simply how download YouTube videos so that you have them always at hand and it is much more comfortable for you to see them whenever you want.

How to download Facebook videos on your mobile

As always, we are going to need a third-party application to be able to download videos from Facebook to our mobile. To do this, we have gone to the Google Play application store and we have chosen 'Video Downloader for Facebook Videos'. This application is free, it contains ads and its installation file has a weight of 4 MB so you can download it whenever you want.

Once we have given storage permission to the application, we will be shown a short usage tutorial. We will have to click on the banner where you can read 'Navigate on Facebook'.Later, we have to enter our Facebook account. This is the price we have to pay to be able to download Facebook videos on our phone, hand over account credentials to a third-party app. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it.

Once we are inside our Facebook we only have to look for a video that one of our contacts has shared. When we have found it, we press play and a pop-up window will tell us if we want to download it, play it or cancel the action. As always, the downloaded video will appear in the 'Downloads' section of your phone, usually in the videos folder.

And let's not forget about Instagram

With this application we will also be able to download any Instagram video that we see on our wall and want to keep safe.To do this, on this occasion, we will not need to enter our Instagram account through this application, but simply copy and paste the address of the video in question. It is, therefore, a much safer way to download videos from our social networks.

Open the application again and look at the three-line hamburger menu that you can find at the top left of the screen. Now click where it says 'Downloader – for Instagram'. Here, as in the previous case, we also have a small tutorial to learn how to download Instagram videos. To do this, we are going to do the following.

We are going to open our Instagram application and we are going to go to the video that we want to download with the other application. Once we have located it, we are going to open the three-point menu that all Instagram posts have.In the pop-up window that appears we have to select the option ‘Copy link‘. Now, we are going to go to the other application. When we open it we will see that, automatically, the URL has pasted itself. And, even, the video will have been downloaded instantly, being able to find it in the same video download folder.
