Download Facebook Videos on iPhone

Step by step on iPhone (Safari)

1. In the Facebook app, open the video or Reel, tap Share, then Copy link.
2. Open Safari and go to this page.
3. Touch and hold the box above and tap Paste, then tap Download.
4. Choose a quality. When the file starts, Safari shows a download arrow at the top of the screen.
5. To find the video later, open the Files app and look in Downloads. From there you can save it to Photos: open the file, tap Share, then Save Video.

Good to know on iPhone

• Some highest-quality files use a newer video format that older iPhones may not play smoothly. If that happens, download the quality marked Ready now instead — it uses the most widely compatible format.
• The highest quality of some videos takes a few extra seconds to prepare — here’s why.
• Only public videos and Reels are supported — nothing behind a login.

Honesty note: the download flow is built for Safari on iPhone and the server sends files in the way Safari expects for a proper download, but we have not yet completed verification on physical iPhones. See how we test for exactly what has and hasn’t been verified.
