Method 2: Through 3rd-party apps or website
You can use this method to download any shared video. In this case, you can use 3rd-party apps or websites. Because Facebook doesn’t provide any direct method to download any video on its platform,
Let’s first discuss the apps. Google play store is full of apps that allow you to download.
But the recommended one is Video Downloader for a Facebook app. The app is just 3.2M and has 4.6 rating and 50 million downloads on Play Store.
You have to log in with Facebook so that you can browse and download any video.
But some people don’t want to install third-party apps on their handset that uses the Facebook credentials. It is obvious also.
So you can go on some websites. Let’s discuss that also.
In the website method, you have to just copy and paste the video URL. You can easily find the video URL directly on the video. After pasting the URL, the site will provide you a download link through which you can easily download the video. In some cases, you can choose the video quality also.
