how's it going guys my name is Andrew Murphy and welcome back to Wondershare
Repairit where we have a brand new video where we're going to basically help you fix
your Facebook videos not playing on your iphone
so there are times when Facebook doesn't allow you to play specific videos and this can sometimes get
pretty annoying and for iphone users it often happens when trying to watch any live videos
and if you have faced similar problems in the past then let us know in the comments below Wondershare
Repairit can solve the problem for you but you can also clear out the issues by simply checking out
a few things and I'll be discussing all the reasons and methods in this video but before
that do not forget to subscribe to our channel and hit the bell icon to see all the new videos
so there are times when videos won't play on facebook and it will end up showing an error but
why do these errors occur so there are several reasons why videos may not load
on Facebook especially if you're on an iPhone sometimes we forget to update our apps and in
return they can cause problems whenever we play or upload videos to Facebook so outdated versions
are not supported on any kind of phone be it an iPhone or an Android device similar to computers
cache files and cookies also slow down the performance of your device so if you have
never cleared the cookies or cache on your device it could force Facebook to actually stop loading
videos altogether so this one definitely happens to all of us so videos from apps like Facebook
obviously take up a lot of space to buffer and if your device lacks storage then simultaneously
your video will take some time to load now sometimes when you get logged out of Facebook then
try logging back in you might find some technical issues and these can lead to having troubles
accessing videos or photos so these are the top four reasons why your Facebook videos don't work
but other than that poor internet connectivity can also lead to lousy loading speed of your videos
however the good news is that all these issues can be fixed on your iphone very easily so first of
all if you don't know what's causing facebook videos not to load on your iphone then simply
uninstalling the app from your device and then reinstalling it again from the apple store should
remove any bugs and unnecessary caches if you have any on your device to do this simply click
and hold on the Facebook icon on your home screen and then choose uninstall app then once the app is
successfully uninstalled go to the apple store and then search facebook and then install the
Facebook app again from scratch and hopefully from now on you shouldn't face any issues while playing
Facebook videos but sometimes the problem isn't with the Facebook app but the actual phone itself
and there are instances where your camera might not be working on your Facebook video call or your
Facebook video call itself is not working properly to avoid these issues you simply need to restart
your iPhone to do this simply press and hold on the power button and the volume button then slide
to power off your device then after rebooting the device relaunch Facebook and check if you can play
Facebook videos or not rebooting your device will help prevent unnecessary crashes and also retain
the memory so that your iPhone works smoother than before but what if the problem is with the storage
space on your device and as mentioned earlier low storage space is a common reason why videos might
not load on Facebook now iPhones get filled up pretty quickly due to basically unlimited
app downloads available or with the pre-installed apps which we get in the actual device itself and
when your device doesn't have enough free space Facebook will struggle to buffer appropriately
and as a result videos won't play properly also less storage space means poor performance on
your device all round so if your device is also running out of storage space then make sure to
delete a few items to make some room for this go to settings general then storage and free up some
space as per your requirements it is necessary to delete all the unwanted data from your device from
time to time now if you're still unable to play Facebook videos there's a huge probability that
you're running an outdated version of Facebook on your phone Facebook frequently keeps on updating
their app for a smooth user experience and to improve reliability so search for Facebook in the
apple store and click the update button to install the latest version of the app so this can fix the
issues while loading the app or playing videos and even if you reload the app several times
the problem might still prevail so be sure to go through each method until you fix the issue so
the next time you face these issues with either a Facebook video or video call then you know how to
fix them and it's always better to keep your Facebook app updated or else keep it on auto
update mode so that you don't have to worry about future updates however if the video is corrupted
or damaged you can use one to share a parrot which is an easy to use application on both windows
and mac simply add repair and save and you're good to go with a high-quality video with just three
simple steps and with these steps you won't have trouble with your Facebook videos not playing on
your iPhone so guys that is all for today thank you so much for watching this video and I hope
