Troubleshooting
Download Not Starting
Make sure you've granted your browser permission to download files. Go to Settings → Apps → Chrome → Permissions → Storage → Allow.
Video Quality is Low
If HD isn't available, the original video was likely uploaded in SD quality. We can only download what's available on Facebook.
Can't Find Downloaded Video
Check your browser's download history. In Chrome, tap the three dots menu and select "Downloads". You can also use a file manager app to search for recently downloaded files.
