The users will be able to save videos when they are on a good WiFi network, and watch them later.
The feature is expected to receive a warm welcome in a country like India, where there are plenty of connectivity glitches with mobile data. At most of the places where the network is reduced, or there is no network at all, 'offline videos' can be played if saved earlier.
Facebook will roll out the feature on July 11, said a TechCrunch report.
However, the feature will currently be rolled out only to a limited set of users.
