How to Save Videos for Offline Watching in Facebook App

A few decades ago, the first thing people used to do in the morning was look for the fresh edition of the daily newspaper on their doorsteps. But now they pick up their smartphones and check Facebook for any latest messages and posts. Believe it or not, Facebook has become a part of our lives. If you meet someone new they often ask for your Facebook user name or just search you there using your name and send you a friend request. And to keep users tuned in, Facebook developers also keep adding new features to their smartphone apps.

Recently, they have added a feature that lets you save the videos locally on your smartphone for watching them later. This is similar to the feature available for the official Youtube app that allows you to watch the Youtube videos offline without any sort of internet connection.

Saving the Facebook videos for offline watching is very easy. Here is how you can do this in just a few simple steps:

  1. In the Facebook app for Android (or iPhone), open a post with video content.
  2. Tap once on the video to make all the options appear and then tap on the vertical ellipses under the video.Facebook Save Video Offline
