How to Share or Download Facebook Videos to WhatsApp, Instagram, or Anywhere Else

Facebook videos are a great way to share moments, but direct downloading is against Facebook's terms of service. However, you can share these videos seamlessly to other platforms like WhatsApp or Instagram. Below, we guide you through the processes for both sharing and downloading videos.

Paste the copied link in the caption area. Note that Instagram does not allow direct video sharing like WhatsApp, so when users click the link, they will be directed to Facebook.

Downloading Facebook Videos

Even though direct downloading is against Facebook's terms, there are third-party websites or apps that can help you download these videos. Here's a general approach:
