  • Yeah. The Facebook official method does not download photos or videos you are tagged in. They only allow you to download things you uploaded. So if you are like me and didn’t upload any photos but were tagged by others it downloads nothing.

    What is this yt-dlp? I have seen it mentioned without any links or information about how to use it. Quick searches shows it as some kind of CLI?


  • Of course I figured out an okay solution right after posting it.

    I had save all of the Facebook videos to find them on the mobile app. From the mobile app I had to open the video and find the share link. I then had to copy this link into my web browser and click on it. This lets me download the file onto my phone which I then had to upload to a cloud storage which I am now downloading back to my computer. What a pain in the ass.
