If we ask you which social network do you use the most, we will probably receive ‘Facebook’ as an answer from almost all of you. Facebook has made quite a lot of progress in the recent years and has grown a lot. Almost everyone who has access to the Internet and a smartphone uses Facebook. It’s a social network where you come across every type of content. For many, it has become one of the primary source of news as well.
Facebook has rolled out some useful features in the past, one of them being the ability to download videos. While the world is moving towards 5G, there are still many countries which lack proper Internet infrastructure, as a result of which, the users often don’t get proper Internet speed and coverage wherever they go.
Now whenever you come across any video on Facebook shared by someone, you can download and save it so that you can watch it later.
