On Lite, Facebook normally reveals the size (in megabytes) of the video you will view before you click on it as shown in the photo above. Pay attention to the megabyte due to the fact that you are going to need it if you are going to get this guide right. Now, lets proceed.

2.)  MX Video Gamer

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

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

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 shown 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 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 4 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 see on Facebook Lite. As you can see, the folders are called in random letters that appears like lingos.

5.) Opening one of 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 two files. The "0000000000000000" file is the video we are looking for. All the four folders consists of the "0000000000000000" video file and each file represent different video in each of the folder. Each folder is each video you view on Facebook Lite.

6.) If you are utilizing ES, simply click on the "0000000000000000" file to open then select video from the menu, select a video player (or MX Player) and BOOMMM! the video will start playing. You can do also for other "0000000000000000" files in other video folders to enjoy the cached Facebook Lite videos.

Please Note: 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 gamers set up won't have the ability 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 consider as a video.

 

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