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.
