How to Download Facebook Videos (Public & Private): A Step-by-Step Tutorial

The Facebook Challenge

Facebook hosts everything from 4K gaming streams to fuzzy family memories from 2008. But the "Save Video" button only saves it to your Facebook account cloud, not your device.

Public vs. Private

• Public Videos: Visible to everyone. SSDown can fetch these instantly with just the URL.
• Private/Group Videos: Visible only to members. These require special handling (source code extraction) which we simplify.

How to Download (Public)

1. Tap "Share" -> "Copy Link" on the Facebook app.
2. Paste into SSDown.
3. Choose HD (High Definition) quality. SD is too blurry.

Why Download?

Many old Facebook accounts get locked or hacked. Archiving your memories offline is the only way to ensure they aren't lost forever.
