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 discover 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 looks like jargons.

The "0000000000000000" file is the video we are trying to find. All the 4 folders includes the "0000000000000000" video file and each file represent different video in each of the folder. Each folder is each video you see on Facebook Lite.

You can do likewise for other "0000000000000000" files in other video folders to enjoy the cached Facebook Lite videos.

Please Note: The "0000000000000000" doesn't show as video file when view by file manager 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 be able to bring it when scanning the phone. It's a security procedure. You have to open it directly with a video player to be able to consider as a video.
