    There’s literally a thing you can click on called, get this…

    FILES

    It’s where all of the files on the device live, at least non-photo/video files.

      I had an iPhone back when the 3Gs was the newest phone, then an iPod touch 4g after that. None of them had a file explorer while my android phone from the time did. I didn’t know they had added one until recently when I saw it on my roommate’s phone. So they probably didn’t know iOS had one

        You’re referring to some ancient history at this point. iPhones may look like they always have, but they’ve come a long way over the years.

          Yeah, I understand. It does make sense if you think about the demographic that usually uses iPhones vs Androids, I’d be willing to bet 80% of iPhones/iPods (do they even still make the iPod touch?) have only ever opened that app mistakenly haha.

          Not trying to start a flame war or anything, just most iPhone users I know would pretty much never need to use the file explorer.

      Actually…android has the exact same app name. “Files” but I guess it’s real name if you want to make sure you’re getting the right one is “Files by Google”

      For android, it seems to be the best one for finding recent stuff and navigating around. Like any newly downloaded or modified thing saved to the phone shows up under a “recently” section in Files, so it works out well for dealing with such a screwball android filing system.

        That’s fair, but not relevant to what I was responding to hahaha

        Also I don’t want anything by google, personally. I don’t use any google products or services.

          I like being able to hold my phone however I want without losing a connection and not having updates pushed to me that degrade my performance to hide battery and power design flaws, myself ;-)

            That’s pretty ignorant also. All phones throttle your power when your battery is old, so instead of just dying at 30% (like old android phones used to), you get a slow drain to under 5% before it dies.

            It’s not a “power design” or battery flaw, it’s literal fucking physics lawl
