Vivek | 14 Sep 2017 | Android Apps/ Guides

Download Videos from Instagram, Facebook and Twitter on Android

The Internet is a huge place and it is only increasing in size as more and more data is uploaded each day. It is true, that nothing is ever truly deleted from the Internet. But that does not guarantee that the cute cat video you saw yesterday will remain there forever. This is especially true for social networks such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. With so many posts every hour, it is often hard to find something twice on your news feed. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people have been looking for ways to download videos from these social networking sites. Below, we’ll be describing the way to download videos from Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter on Android devices.

On an Android phone, doing that is quite easy. More convenient if you have a rooted Android device but also very possible on a non-rooted one. Since not everybody knows what root is or how to root, we’ll cover methods that work for both rooted and non-rooted Android smartphones.

Download Videos from Facebook

When it comes to downloading videos from Facebook, the method that works for everyone is not the most convenient one. You will need an app from the Play Store calledย MyVideoDownloader.

Instagram, like the other social networks, doesn’t allow you to download videos. It does not allow users to even download photos. Which is why you will need InShotโ€™s Video Downloader for Instagram.
