In this guide we see how to share Facebook videos from Messenger on WhatsApp easily with Android, iPhone or computer.
Have you received a video on Messenger and are dying to share it with your favorite groups or friends on WhatsApp? Have you seen a video scroll on the Facebook wall and wish you could show it to your WhatsApp friends?
Then you are on the right page then.
Facebook has tons of features, but its Messenger chat application doesn’t have some features that would be really useful, like the direct sharing option. You can actually do it easily with a couple of quick taps.
Let’s go to the point and see how to share Facebook Messenger videos on WhatsApp through Android, iOS and computer.
How to forward a video from Facebook Messenger to WhatsApp
Unfortunately, as I said before, there is no simple “Share on WhatsApp” button next to the Facebook videos you find on your Facebook feed or in your Messenger messages.
So how to do it?
You must first add a video to your “Saved Videos”, then go to saved items, copy the link and share it through WhatsApp.
While it might seem a bit complicated, trust me, it’s not.
No matter what device you use, sharing your favorite videos on WhatsApp is easy when you follow the right steps.
Let’s go into detail.
Android and iOS devices
The procedure for Android and iOS may vary slightly depending on the device model, but the directions you find here are fine for everything.
Let’s assume that you have already logged into your Facebook account and that Messenger is installed on your phone.
Your friend now sends you a funny video that makes you laugh out loud. Want to share this video on WhatsApp.
Here’s how to do it (also applies to the videos you find on the bulletin board):
Click on the three dots next to the name of whoever shared the video
Click “Save Video”
