I am working on getting all of the information off of Facebook before I delete it forever. I used Tagged Photo Exporter to get all of tagged photos off of Facebook but I can’t get videos I am tagged in to download.

After doing lots of googling I found lots of different websites that were suppose do this for me but none of them work. They either don’t work or download the same incorrect video. I have tried using the mbasic techniques to get a “Save as” template that is not working. Anyone have any luck getting this done recently? I assume Facebook is trying to make this more difficult since people are flocking off of the site. These are videos I uploaded but rather those I am tagged in.

      Thanks. I joined when you needed an .edu email address so I enjoyed for in college before it got terrible. I have stopped looking at it for years so figured it’s time

        Yep, I joined because everyone of my friends used it. Now no one does anymore, so to the dumpster. Unfortunately still have to use whatsapp. :(

          Same with me. I have a friend who lives overseas so our group chat is via Whatsapp. So that might stay for a while but Facebook and Instagram are going to be deleted as soon as I get everything I need from them

    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.

      The big question I have is “is there a way to bulk request removal of all photos I’m tagged in”. I can’t currently think of a better way than messaging everyone who uploaded them, hoping they might still use Facebook and see my message, and then hoping they’re happy to delete the photos!

      I haven’t untagged myself but the Tagged Photo Exporter did export all my tagged photos in bulk. I had to do videos one by one
