All videos enjoyed on Facebook Lite are download in a folder on the phone storage. We recommend you enjoy a video on Lite before you continue, this will produce the folder we are about to reveal you.

1.) Open ES Explorer, locate a folder named "Android". In the "Android" folder you will see another folder called "data", open it. It will lead you to where is shown in the above picture (We alter the folder view to "Medium Particulars" under More -> View in ES UI). Among the folders, you will see one named "com.facebook.lite", open it.

2.) In the "com.facebook.lite" folder you will see "cache" folder, open it.

3.) In the "cache" folder, find "video" folder and open it.

4.) In our own case, there are four various folders inside the "video" folder, in yours you may discover more. However, it is essential to let you understand that each folder in the "video" folder represent each video you view on Facebook Lite. As you can see, the folders are called in random letters that appears like jargons.

5.) Opening among these video folders there are 2 files inside, one called "0000000000000000" and the other "metadata.json". All the folders shown in action 4 consists of just these 2 files. The "0000000000000000" file is the video we are searching for. All the 4 folders includes the "0000000000000000" video file and each file represent different video in each of the folder. Each folder is each video you watch on Facebook Lite.

6.) If you are using ES, just click on the "0000000000000000" file to open then select video from the menu, select a video player (or MX Player) and BOOMMM! the video will start playing. You can do similarly for other "0000000000000000" files in other video folders to view the cached Facebook Lite videos.

Please Note: The "0000000000000000" does not show as video file when view by file manager since it doesn't have a video extension (e.g.MP4, AVI e.t.c). Facebook do this so that video players installed will not be able to bring it when scanning the phone. It's a security step. You require to open it straight with a video gamer to be able to consider as a video.

 

Each time you view a video on Facebook Lite, the video is cached (download) on the phone memory card.
