Security rating: Trusted
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “Linterna Apps” Not the developer's name (“FastVid”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 3 different developers Developers normally sign only their own apps. This can mean the files were re-signed by someone else — or that one company builds or publishes apps under several names.
- Same certificate as the 3 other versions checked
Store checks
- Developer signature not verified Nov 10, 2021
- Antivirus scan passed May 27, 2020

Scans come from the source store; the certificate comparisons are AAPKs's own, made from the files' published signatures (3 other versions compared). AAPKs doesn't scan files itself.
How to install Video Downloader for Facebook on Android 3.0+
You'll need about 6.5 MB of free space.
- Download the APK — tap Download APK above (3.3 MB). Chrome shows “File might be harmful” for every APK file; choose Download anyway only if you trust this file.
- Open the file — tap the download notification, or open Files › Downloads and tap fb-video-downloader-77-47587661-40de9a8cb5194fc273a86d472add8e66.apk.
- Allow the install (first time only) — Android 8 and later asks for permission the first time an app opens an APK: tap Settings in the prompt, turn on Allow from this source, then go back. Manual path: Settings › Apps › Special app access › Install unknown apps (on Samsung: Settings › Apps › ⋮ › Special access). On Android 7 and older: Settings › Security › Unknown sources.
- Check the file (optional) — the MD5 of the downloaded file should be 40de9a8cb5194fc273a86d472add8e66. If it differs, the file is damaged or was changed: delete it and download again.
- Tap Install — Android asks “Do you want to install this app?”. If Google Play Protect shows a warning, read it before you continue: the source store rated this file Trusted, but only install apps from sources you trust. If an earlier version is installed, this one only installs as an update when it is signed with the same certificate (SHA-1 shown above).
- Open Video Downloader for Facebook — tap Open on the install screen, or find it in your app drawer.
Common install problems
- “App not installed” — a version signed with a different certificate, or a newer version, is already installed (Android doesn't allow downgrades). Uninstall it first; back up your data, because uninstalling deletes it.
- “There was a problem parsing the package” — the file is incomplete, or your Android is too old (this version needs Android 3.0+). Download it again, or pick an older version.
- Blocked by Play Protect — Play Protect checks apps from outside the Play Store. Only continue if you trust the source.
