Loading errors: Failed to save
When downloading high-quality videos from Facebook, a user may encounter a number of problems. For example: download error or video recording was blocked.
What problems may appear when downloading materials:
- There is no free space on the smartphone. This happens if the user did not clean temporary files or a high-quality clip;
- network failure. You need to connect to a more stable connection and use mobile data;
- the video was not found or the application shows: “Error”. Check the spelling of the link and copy it again;
- The clip has not been moved to the device's internal storage.
If after downloading the user cannot find the entry in the “Gallery”, it means that it is located in “Downloads” or has not been saved. In this case, you need to go to the section: “All files” and set it to download again.
A network error may occur if the connection is unstable or there is a temporary outage. To download files larger than 20 MB, it is recommended to connect not only Wi-Fi, but also mobile data. This speeds up loading times and prevents connection dropouts.
