How to Bypass Facebook SSL Pinning on Android

How to Bypass Facebook SSL Pinning on Android

Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to set up and capture Facebook’s network traffic on Android — no root required.

Using a pre-patched Facebook APK with SSL pinning already disabled, you can effortlessly inspect HTTPS requests. Simply install the application and configure your interception proxy (like Mitmproxy or Reqable) to start capturing data on any standard Android device.

For more details, check out the Facebook-SSL-Pinning-Bypass repository.

💡 GOOD NEWS: You do not need a rooted device to use this! It works flawlessly on non-rooted devices and has been successfully tested using Mitmproxy in a non-root environment.

Requirements

No root needed — this works on any Android phone or emulator. You only need:

  1. An Android device or emulator (no root): Any Android phone works. Recommended emulator: LDPlayer 9 (Android 9).
  2. The correct architecture (ABI): Download the build that matches your device’s ABI. Check it first with the ADB command below (or a device-info app such as CPU-Z):
    1
    
    adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi
    
    • Real Android phone → usually arm64-v8a
    • Emulator (LDPlayer 9 / Android 9) → usually x86_64
  3. Interception Proxy: A packet capture tool to inspect the decrypted HTTPS traffic. Recommended tools:

Setup Process

The core concept is simple: install a pre-patched Facebook APK that already has SSL pinning disabled, then route its traffic through your proxy. No root, no library swapping. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Download the Patched APK

Grab the patched APK that matches your device architecture (arm64-v8a / armeabi-v7a / x86 / x86_64) from the GitHub Releases page.

Step 2: Install the APK

Install the downloaded APK on your Android device. If the original Facebook app is already installed, uninstall it first — otherwise the signature mismatch will block the install.

Step 3: Configure Your Proxy

Set up an interception proxy and route your device’s traffic through it, using Mitmproxy or Reqable to capture and decrypt the requests.

Step 4: Launch and Intercept

Open the patched Facebook app and watch the decrypted HTTP/HTTPS requests appear live in your proxy. No root required — this works on non-rooted devices.
