Facebook Video Download on iPhone
Resolve a public Facebook video from Safari on iPhone or iPad.
Overview
Resolve a public Facebook video from Safari on iPhone or iPad. Copy the public post/video URL, paste it into BigSignal, then use the returned link and iOS save controls. No Facebook login should be provided to BigSignal. The download is initiated in the browser, while final file handling is controlled by the mobile operating system. Use the workflow only for media you created, licensed, or otherwise have permission to download. Some returned files open in a browser preview first; from there, use standard iOS file or share actions.
Technical overview
BigSignal Tools treats Facebook URLs as untrusted input and validates the address before resolution. Mobile browsers may preview a media response before exposing Save, Share, or Download actions. BigSignal does not install a helper application or request access to the user's social account. The public URL is the only input required for supported sources. For this specific use case, copy the public post/video URL, paste it into BigSignal, then use the returned link and iOS save controls. No Facebook login should be provided to BigSignal. Responses are not cached as proof of ownership, and the public page never asks the resolver to defeat authentication, DRM, paywalls, or private-post controls. If a source changes its delivery format, the available result can change even when the same public URL is submitted later.
