With over 2.7 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the most popular social network worldwide. Facebook’s appeal is not only based on its social platform but also on its strong mobile integration and mobile messaging capabilities. As well, it also the fastest growing video sharing site competing with Google-owned YouTube. But unlike YouTube, Facebook doesn’t provide the facility to download or even offline videos to phones to use without any internet connection. This is a kind of disadvantage of Facebook as still many users don’t have a stable internet connection in many parts of the world. As YouTube offers a service to offline nearly all of the videos present on the video-sharing platform.

We can still download videos from Facebook on our phones and also on our PCs, but it is not as simple task as it is on YouTube(by simply click download button), these method requires some third party apps as well some tech knowledge also. If you’re not so familiar with the tech and latest innovations, then don’t worry just follow the instructions.
