If you frequently use Facebook, sooner or later you’ll come across a video on the social network that you want to save on your smartphone, because you like it or you want to share it later with your friends on other applications.
To download a Facebook video to your iPhone, you need to use an ad hoc application or a service developed by a third party. In fact, by default you cannot download videos from the social network. There are several applications available on the Apple Store that allow you to do this. One of the best is definitely Browser and File Manager for Documents: it is a very easy to use service: with a few clicks you can download movies. A third party service, on the other hand, is pasty.link, a website that offers the possibility to download videos from many platforms.
Before downloading videos from Facebook you need to have the permission of the copyright holder. Unauthorized downloading is contrary to Facebook’s terms of service.
