As of now, Facebook video download option isn't available officially on the social media platform yet, which means you will have to seek help from third-party apps and software download Facebook videos offline. There are several apps and software that let you download Facebook videos on the device of your choice, including Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS, and watch them offline even when there is no active internet connection. There are many options out there for Facebook video download on mobile and desktop, but not all of them are as simple as hitting the download button. Below are some of the options that we've tried at our end and here's how to download Facebook videos. Take a look:
You don't have to download Facebook videos if you are planning to watch them later. Instead, use Facebook's 'Save Video' feature. The feature lets you save Facebook videos for later use.
To do so, select the Facebook video you wish to save
Tap on the three-dot icon --> choose 'Save Video' from the window that pops up from the bottom
The video will be added to 'your saved videos' library
To access the saved Facebook video, click on the 'hamburger icon and look for 'saved'. Inside it, you'll find all your saved videos. While the process is simple, it will leach all your data every time you stream the Facebook video. That can be avoided with how to download Facebook videos steps stated below.

Download FB videos online to phone gallery via Android app
In addition to the browser option, Android users can download Facebook videos via a third-party app called FastVid. The app is available on Google Play Store.
There are a couple of advantages of this app. First, you can log in with your Facebook ID and download videos simultaneously without going through the hassle of copy-pasting or visiting a website to download Facebook videos on a mobile phone.
If you don't want to log in, you can use FastVid URL option to save Facebook videos. The URL option works the same way as fbdown.net – you copy the Facebook video link from the app or browser and paste it in the box, which then prompts a message with video quality options. Choose the one that suits you the best, and voila, the video is saved on your device.
The app has its own library and video player to play downloaded Facebook videos. You can also share, delete, and rename the video without leaving the FastVid app.
The app has both free and paid versions. The free version lets you download as many videos as the paid version, but you will have to bear the ads.
