On Lite, Facebook usually reveals the size (in megabytes) of the video you are about to view prior to you click on it as revealed in the picture above. Take notice of the megabyte since you are going to require it if you are getting this tutorial right. Now, lets proceed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6.) If you are using ES, just click on the "0000000000000000" file to open then select video from the menu, choose a video gamer (or MX Player) 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 Note: The "0000000000000000" does not show as video file when view by file supervisor since it does not have a video extension (e.g.MP4, AVI e.t.c). Facebook do this so that video players set up won't have the ability to fetch it when scanning the phone. It's a security measure. You have to open it straight with a video player to be able to consider as a video.

 

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