There's a catch however, we wagered a lot of you would have notice it. You will notice that when you click on the video you wish to enjoy on Facebook Lite, the gamer will first pack for some seconds before the video begin to play. You will also see that when the video stop playing and you go back possibly to your timeline, if you click the video again it will not take time to pack like the very first time, it will just play directly.

This offer us the sense that the video is being download (cache) somewhere when you play it the very first time and when you attempt to play it once again it will simply load from where it was cached. Finding where the video is cached is our response.

The treatment we will share doesn't exist anywhere on the web, you are fortunate to be the very first to discover this trick.

On Lite, Facebook normally reveals the size (in megabytes) of the video you are about to view prior to you click on it as displayed in the image above. Pay attention to the megabyte due to the fact that you are going to require it if you are getting this tutorial right. Now, lets continue.

You are going to require the following apps, not required but they will assist.

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 before you continue, this will develop the folder we are about to reveal you.

In our own case, we use ES File Explorer. You can use 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 "information", open it. 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, 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. However, it is very important to let you know 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 among these video folders there are two files inside, one named "0000000000000000" and the other "metadata.json". All the folders revealed in step 4 contains only these 2 files. The "0000000000000000" file is the video we are searching for. All the 4 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, simply click on the "0000000000000000" file to open then choose video from the menu, choose a video player (or MX Player) and BOOMMM! the video will begin playing. You can do similarly for other "0000000000000000" files in other video folders to view the cached Facebook Lite videos.

Please Note: The "0000000000000000" does not show 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 set up will not be able to bring it when scanning the phone. It's a security step. You have to open it directly with a video player to be able to see as a video.

 

Each time you watch a video on Facebook Lite, the video is cached (download) on the phone sd 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 different folder to keep save.
