There's a catch however, we wagered a lot of you would have see it. You will observe that when you click the video you wish to watch on Facebook Lite, the gamer will initially fill for some seconds before the video start to play. You will also observe that when the video stop playing and you return maybe to your timeline, if you click the video once again it will not take some time to pack like the very first time, it will simply play directly.

This offer us the sense that the video is being download (cache) someplace when you play it the very first time and when you attempt to play it again it will simply load from where it was cached. Finding where the video is cached is our answer.

The procedure we will share does not exist anywhere on the internet, you are lucky to be the first to discover this trick.

On Lite, Facebook typically shows the size (in megabytes) of the video you are about to view before you click on it as displayed in the picture above. Take notice of the megabyte due to the fact that you are going to require it if you are going to get this guide right. Now, lets continue.

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

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

All videos viewed on Facebook Lite are download in a folder on the phone storage. We suggest you enjoy a video on Lite prior to you continue, this will develop 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, locate a folder named "Android". In the "Android" folder you will see another folder named "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). 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 different folders inside the "video" folder, in yours you may discover more. Nevertheless, it is essential 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 named in random letters that appears like lingos.

5.) Opening one of these video folders there are two files inside, one named "0000000000000000" and the other "metadata.json". All the folders displayed in action 4 consists of only these two 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 utilizing ES, simply click on the "0000000000000000" file to open then select video from the menu, pick 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 view the cached Facebook Lite videos.

Please Keep in mind: The "0000000000000000" doesn't show as video file when view by file supervisor because it doesn't have a video extension (e.g.MP4, AVI e.t.c). Facebook do this so that video gamers installed won't be able to bring it when scanning the phone. It's a security measure. 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 sd card. By following the actions above, you can relabel the "00000000000000" which is the video file and watch it offline permanently. You can even copy it to a different folder to keep conserve.
