How to save Zip file to iPhone or iPad

The latest iOS versions make it easy for users to download and save Zip files to iPhone or iPad. Application Files have been upgraded to allow iOS devices to interact directly with files and data stored on the device as well as access to iCloud Drive.

In addition, you can preview the zip file in the Files app of iOS. Open the Files app and view the zip file you just saved to your device, or go to iCloud Drive.

However, the Files application does not have the function to extract or compress files. So you need 3rd party applications like WinZip or Zip Viewer to be able to open and extract zip files on iPhone or iPad.

In addition, the Files app has direct access to iCloud Drive, so if iOS devices share an Apple ID account, you can access these files from other iOS devices.
