How to Save Videos from Facebook to Any Device (a Simple Guide)
Today everybody is aware that Facebook is considered one of the powerful and trendy social media networks. Network usage is quite simple, but like in any platform, you may notice some difficulties.

It is pretty logical why a user faces the problem because Facebook makes sure that a video you are interested in remains on Facebook, and only there you may see it later. But here's a way out of any cage.
There are many ways to upload videos: tricky ways, apps using or online downloaders that do not require installation and download videos quickly.
Follow the guide and find out more about how to download a video from Facebook.

How to copy a video from Facebook to iPhone?
Downloading videos to iPhones is more difficult because it is hard to find a secure app, and they are not all direct downloaders. To get a video from FB to your iPhone, you may use online savers (see end of the article) or apps such as Friendly.
It's the app placed on the App Story. The tool requires slightly different steps to get a video from FB.
How to get a video with Friendly:
- Install the instrument from the App Store.
- Make an account after its installation.
- Link FB network to the service after the question.
- Login to the FB page.
- Select the “down arrow” image at the video bottom left to get it on the phone gallery.
*This app resembles FB itself, so it shouldn't be a problem to get lost in it.
