4 Easy Methods to Save Facebook Videos on iPhone Camera Roll

Are you tired of relying on an internet connection to watch Facebook videos? Do you want to save your favorite videos to your iPhone camera roll? Look no further. In this article, we will explore four simple and effective methods to save Facebook videos directly to your iPhone camera roll. Let's dive in!

Method 1: Screen Recording

Your iPhone comes with a built-in screen recording feature that allows you to capture any part of a Facebook video. This method is particularly useful when you only want to record a specific portion of a longer video.

To get started, swipe down from the top right of your iPhone screen to access the Control Center. If the screen recording option is not available, you can add it to your home screen via settings. Once you have access to the screen recording option, open the Facebook video you want to save, activate the Control Center, and start recording. Adjust the playback time and orientation of the video as needed. When you're finished, stop the recording from the Control Center. The video, along with its original audio, will be saved in your camera roll.

Method 2: Siri Shortcut

Siri Shortcuts provide a convenient way to automate tasks on your iPhone. To download Facebook videos using this method, we will use the Facebook Video Downloader shortcut. You can find and install this shortcut from the Shortcuts app or by following the provided link.

Before running the shortcut, you need to obtain the video URL. Open the Facebook app on your iPhone, find the video you want to download, and tap the Share button at the bottom of the post. Select “Copy Link” from the options. Next, open Safari or any other web browser and paste the copied URL. Once the webpage loads, copy the URL from the address bar.

Now, run the Facebook Video Downloader shortcut from the Shortcuts app. It will take a few seconds to fetch the video from the provided URL. Once the video is fetched, the shortcut will automatically save it to your iPhone's camera roll. You can find the downloaded video in the Photos app.

Method 3: Safari

If you prefer not to install a Siri Shortcut, you can use Safari to download Facebook videos directly. Start by copying the video link from the Facebook app. Then, open Safari and visit the website “fbdown.net”. After the page loads, paste the Facebook URL in the input field. Tap the download button next to the input field to load the video options. Press and hold the download button to reveal a menu, and select “download linked file” to initiate the download. The video will start downloading in the Safari download manager. Once the download is complete, tap the video and select “Save Video” from the Share menu. The video will be saved to your camera roll.

Method 4: Third-Party App for Older iPhones

If you are using an iPhone running on iOS 12 or below, the previous methods may not work. In such cases, you can rely on a third-party app called Friendly for Facebook. This app acts as a compact browser that allows you to surf Facebook and download videos with a single tap.

To use this method, install the Friendly Social Browser app from the App Store. Log in to your Facebook account within the app. Find the video you want to download and tap the Download button located at the bottom of the post, next to the Share button. A sharing menu will appear, tap the download button next to the video. Select “Save to Photos” and grant access to the Photos app. Your video will be saved to the camera roll.

These are the four most effective methods to save Facebook videos directly to your iPhone camera roll. Each method offers its own advantages, so you can choose the one that suits your needs best. Say goodbye to relying on an internet connection and enjoy your favorite videos offline, anytime, and on any device. Give these methods a try and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
