Almost every day I see an interesting video on Facebook and want to share it with my friends on different messaging services. While we can provide a direct link to a Facebook video via chat viewable on a mobile browser, it would be more ideal to upload the video directly to a message. Be it WhatsApp, Hike, or any other similar messaging service, people generally respond better to direct content than opening a third-party link.

However, there is no direct way for you to download a Facebook video to your iOS device and then share it. But there is an app for that.
Using this application you can directly download videos that are not protected by copyright claims. Once that’s done, these videos will be saved to your Camera Roll and can then be shared instantly.
Update
The app that did this trick has been removed from the App Store. But don’t worry, we’ve found a new way to get things done, and it’s better. You can read the article by clicking this link or just sit back and click the play button on the following video.
Download Facebook videos
There are many ‘free’ apps that claim to help you download videos but it took me a while to find one that actually works without paying for it. All others require an in-app purchase to save the video to the camera roll.
So to get started, download Video Downloader Plus from the App Store and launch the app. When it opens, you will see a browser page where you can open any web page using the URL. Facebook is the source that you want to download, so sign in to your account.

Once you’re signed in, you’ll be able to browse Facebook just like you would in a regular browser. So now when you need to download a video, long press to highlight and select Download. The app will ask you for a file name for the video and then download it. Once the video is downloaded, you’ll have to save it to your camera roll by tapping the info button next to it.
Note: The app cannot download materials that contain restricted ownership, such as videos from YouTube, Vemo, etc. The app maintains a blacklisted file and the download button will not appear on websites. unsupported.
That’s all – once the video is saved to your photo library, everything will be ready. Now you can open apps like WhatsApp or Hike, then simply upload these videos from your iPhone’s camera roll and send them to your friends and other groups.
This app also has some extra features that you might like. From settings you can protect apps and all downloaded content with a password lock. Another cool feature of the app is that you can enable HTTPS streamer and then go to all the videos you downloaded on another browser and download that content.
Conclusion
So that’s how you can download videos from Facebook to your iOS device, save them to your camera roll, and then share them via WhatsApp and Hike (or any other similar platform). Free Video Downloader Plus is just one of many apps that work for me. However, if you would like to recommend any other app that you think is feature-rich and makes the job easier, don’t forget to share it with us.
