The treatment we will share doesn't exist anywhere on the internet, you are fortunate to be the very first to learn this trick.

On Lite, Facebook normally shows the size (in megabytes) of the video you will see prior to you click on it as revealed in the photo above. Take note of the megabyte since you are going to require it if you are getting this guide right. Now, lets continue.

You are going to need the following apps, not needed but they will assist.

1.)  ES File Explorer
2.)  MX Video Player

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

In our own case, we utilize ES File Explorer. You can utilize any file manager of your option.

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

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

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

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

5.) Opening among these video folders there are 2 files inside, one named "0000000000000000" and the other "metadata.json". All the folders displayed in step 4 consists of only these 2 files. The "0000000000000000" file is the video we are searching for. All the four folders consists of the "0000000000000000" video file and each file represent various video in each of the folder. Each folder is each video you view on Facebook Lite.

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

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

 

Every time you enjoy a video on Facebook Lite, the video is cached (download) on the phone memory card. By following the actions above, you can relabel the "00000000000000" which is the video file and enjoy it offline forever. You can even copy it to a separate folder to keep conserve.
