The treatment we will share does not exist anywhere on the web, you are fortunate to be the very first to discover this technique.

On Lite, Facebook usually shows the size (in megabytes) of the video you are about to watch before you click on it as revealed in the image above. Pay attention to the megabyte because you are going to require it if you are going to get this tutorial right. Now, lets proceed.

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

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

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

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

1.) Open ES Explorer, find a folder called "Android". In the "Android" folder you will see another folder called "information", open it. It will lead you to where is displayed in the above picture (We change 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, find "video" folder and open it.

4.) In our own case, there are four different folders inside the "video" folder, in yours you might discover more. However, it is very important to let you know 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 looks like jargons.

5.) Opening among these video folders there are two files inside, one named "0000000000000000" and the other "metadata.json". All the folders displayed in action 4 contains just 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 various video in each of the folder. Each folder is each video you enjoy on Facebook Lite.

6.) If you are using ES, just click the "0000000000000000" file to open then choose video from the menu, pick a video player (or MX Player) and BOOMMM! the video will begin 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" doesn't show 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 set up will not have the ability 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 view as a video.

 

Whenever you view 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.
