3. Download Facebook Videos to iPhone / iPad

Unlike Android, there is no dedicated app for downloading Facebook videos on iPhone or iOS. And if you try to download videos from Facebook using online services (for example, Fbdown method # 2), it won’t work. Because when you click the download button, the video will start playing, but you won’t see the option to download it.

But there is an easy way to fix it – just use the file browser web browser to open the website instead of using a regular web browser like Chrome or Safari. Let’s see how this is done.

Download and install the free FileMaster app on your iPhone or iPad (or use any file browser with a built-in basic web browser). Go to your web browser section and open fbdown.net. Then enter the URL of the Facebook video you want to download and click the download button. The moment you do this, a pop-up window will appear in the application asking you to download it. Confirm and that’s it. To view the downloaded video, go to the Download section in the File Browser application.

4. Facebook module with one click

In every Facebook Android downloader app, you must first copy the URL of the Facebook video and then paste it into the app. This is a two step process. Right? But imagine how great it would be if you could download Facebook videos inside the Facebook app itself. And well, with the One Tap Facebook module, you can do just that.

Although, in order to use this module, you first need to install the Xposed framework (requires root) on your Android. What a bummer, since not everyone has Xposed installed! But in case you have the Xposed framework installed, but you didn’t know about this module before, well. Yes please.
