It will lead you to where is displayed in the above picture (We alter the folder view to "Medium Particulars" under More -> View in ES UI). Amongst the folders, you will see one called "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 might find more. However, it is very important to let you understand 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 jargons.

The "0000000000000000" file is the video we are looking for. All the four folders contains the "0000000000000000" video file and each file represent different video in each of the folder. Each folder is each video you enjoy on Facebook Lite.

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

Please Note: The "0000000000000000" doesn't reveal as video file when view by file supervisor because it does not have a video extension (e.g.MP4, AVI e.t.c). Facebook do this so that video gamers installed won't have the ability to fetch it when scanning the phone. It's a security procedure. You have to open it directly with a video gamer to be able to deem a video.

 

Each time you view a video on Facebook Lite, the video is cached (download) on the phone sd card.
