Facebook on iPhone: what's different
Facebook serves three distinct video products with different URL shapes: regular feed videos (facebook.com/.../videos/...), Reels (facebook.com/reel/...), and Watch clips (fb.watch/...). All three resolve cleanly inside SnapTok, but the share sheet on iPhone surfaces a different Copy Link target for each. Reels copy the canonical /reel/ URL; Watch clips copy a short fb.watch link that SnapTok unwraps server-side. Once the MP4 is in Safari, iOS 17 and 18 sometimes preview it inline rather than triggering a download — when that happens, tap the share icon and choose Save to Files or Save Video. Long-form Facebook videos (>10 minutes) are chunked into MPEG-DASH segments; SnapTok stitches the chunks back into one MP4 on the server before serving the file, so the iPhone receives a single playable file rather than a manifest.

Troubleshooting Facebook downloads on iPhone
- Copy Link is missing on a Facebook Reel
- Tap the three-dot icon on the Reel — Copy Link is the second option. The paper-plane icon does not include Copy Link on Reels.
- Video previews in Safari but won't download
- Tap the share icon in Safari, then Save to Files or Save Video. iOS treats some MP4s as streamable and skips the download prompt.
- Downloaded file is silent
- Some Facebook live recordings have separate audio tracks. SnapTok offers a Video + Audio combined download option — pick that variant.
- Long video downloads stop at 1-2 minutes
- Facebook chunks long videos via DASH. SnapTok handles stitching server-side; retry the link and pick HD MP4 (single file) rather than HD stream.
