Download Facebook Videos on Android and iOS
If you are looking for a way to easily download Facebook videos on and your Android and iPhone without any crappy Facebook video downloaders, you are at the right place.
There are numerous Facebook Video Downloaders on the Google Play Store which would require you to login with your Facebook ID in order browse and download videos, which in effect don’t really help you achieve your purpose. Most of these Downloaders are just crappy.
In this article, I will show you how to download Facebook videos on both Android devices and iPhones.
On Android:
1. Download TubeMate apk from this link. (You won’t get this App on the Google Play Store)
2. Tap on the downloaded apk file to begin installation. If this is the first app you are installing outside the Play Store, you will get a prompt which reads; “Install blocked. For security, your phone is set to block installation of apps obtained from unknown sources.”
You may get this prompt because your device doesn’t ‘trust’ the app you are trying to install, since it wasn’t downloaded directly from the Google Play Store. There’s no cause for alarm, simply tap on settings on the prompt and check the box next to “Unknown sources“.
3. Tap the install button to install the App and close the App after installation.
4. Now open Facebook and navigate to the video you want to download.
5. Tap on Share and select Copy link. For some android versions the, TubeMate app will immediately float on Facebook after copying the link. Tap on it to open. However, if the App doesn’t show up in Facebook, go to the next step.
6. Open the TubeMate app and paste the link you copied into the address bar. (You don’t need to login with your Facebook ID).
7. Tap on the download icon at the lower right corner and select your desired resolution.
8. Tap download and enter your desired title for the video.
9. Tap OK to begin the download. You can see the status of the download in the notification bar.
10. View the video in Gallery when it is done downloading. Enjoy!
One other good news is that, TubeMate can also be used to download videos from several other video sites; such as YouTube. You can browse YouTube within the TubeMate App and following the same procedure, you can download videos from YouTube. So simple!
On iPhone and iPad
1. Download MyMedia app from the App Store.
2. Open Facebook and navigate to the video you want to download.
