The procedure we will share doesn't exist anywhere on the web, you are lucky to be the very first to discover this trick.

On Lite, Facebook generally reveals the size (in megabytes) of the video you are about to watch prior to you click on it as shown in the image above. Take notice of the megabyte due to the fact that you are going to need it if you are getting this tutorial right. Now, lets proceed.

You are going to require the following apps, not essential however they will help.

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

All videos viewed on Facebook Lite are download in a folder on the phone storage. We suggest you watch a video on Lite before you continue, this will create the folder we are about to show you.

In our own case, we use ES File Explorer. You can use any file supervisor of your choice.

1.) Open ES Explorer, locate a folder called "Android". In the "Android" folder you will see another folder called "data", open it. It will lead you to where is revealed in the above picture (We alter the folder view to "Medium Details" under More -> View in ES UI). Amongst 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, find "video" folder and open it.

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

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

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

Please Keep in mind: The "0000000000000000" does not reveal as video file when view by file manager because 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 fetch it when scanning the phone. It's a security step. You have to open it straight with a video player to be able to deem a video.

 

Whenever you see a video on Facebook Lite, the video is cached (download) on the phone sd card. By following the actions above, you can rename the "00000000000000" which is the video file and watch it offline forever. You can even copy it to a separate folder to keep conserve.
