Sometimes, Facebook serves a different, easier-to-grab video file to mobile browsers. You can trick the desktop site into thinking you're on a phone.
- Open the Facebook Reel in your browser.
- Press F12 for Developer Tools.
- Click the "Toggle Device Toolbar" icon (it looks like a phone and tablet) or press Ctrl+Shift+M.
- At the top of the page, a mobile view will appear. Refresh the page.
- Now, try use Developer Tools (Trigger the Video Load>Find the Video File>Download the Video). You will often find a single, clean .mp4 file that is much easier to identify and download.
If you hit a wall when you are finding an effective Facebook Reels download method, use the "Mobile User-Agent" trick in combination with the Developer Tools. If you plan on doing this regularly, embrace the power and install yt-dIp. It's the final boss of video downloading and will never let you down.
