While YouTube used to be the top dog in online video, now other platforms like Facebook Video have grown considerably. Apart from connecting you with millions of users all over the world, Facebook is catching up to YouTube and provides you plentiful video contents to enjoy. If you use Facebook a lot, you must often come across interesting videos that you want to save to your iPhone for offline watching or sharing with other apps.

Fortunately, there are still a number of workarounds that will help you get it done. In this article, we will show you 3 different ways to download and save videos from Facebook to iPhone. Let’s have a look.

Way 1: Using MyMedia

To download videos from Facebook to your iPhone, you can use a third-party app called MyMedia. It is a powerful app like a download and file manager that enables you to manage media files on your iPhone or iPad. And it can be coupled with an online video downloader tool to help you save videos from Facebook to your iPhone. This app is available for free and requires iOS 9 or later.

Here’s how to download videos from Facebook to iPhone using MyMedia:
