How to download files onto your iPhone

Your iPhone is a powerful computer, though most of the time, Apple tries 
to hide most of that complexity from you.
But sometimes, you need your phone to behave more like an ordinary 
computer, and show you where all its files are located.
When you download a file on your iPhone, it's usually sorted with the 
app that can open it.
You rarely need to worry about where downloads go on your iPhone, since 
most files are stored with and opened by the specific app that can open 
them.
When you download files directly from a web page in Safari, you can 
often choose which location on your iPhone to store them.
You can also use the Files app to find and open downloaded files.
If you download a file from the internet, for example, you need to know 
where it is so you can find it again later. On a computer, you would use 
a file manager like Windows Explorer. On an iPhone, things work slightly 
differently.
Here's how to download files on your iPhone.
First, how to download photos and videos on the iPhone
If you receive a photo or video in the Mail or Messages app, there are 
two ways to save it. Your choice determines where and how it's stored on 
your iPhone.
1. Open a photo in Messages or the app you're viewing it in by tapping it.
2. Tap the Share button (which looks like an arrow pointing up out of a 
cup).
3. You should see two save options in the bottom row of the pop-up 
window: Save Image and Save to File.

Photos and videos can be saved to your Photos app or to a location of 
your choice on the phone.
If you tap "Save Image," the photo will be stored in your Photos app, 
and you can find it in your Photo library.
If you tap "Save to Files," you'll be asked to choose a destination. You 
can pick a folder to store it in on iCloud, in your iPhone's set of 
folders, or in a folder like Dropbox, if you use that app.
second, How to download files from web pages in Safari
It is possible to download files from a web page in Safari.
1. Start the Safari app and go to a web page that has the file you want 
to download.
2. Tap the file to download it, whether through a link or download button.
3. Depending on the type of file, it might open on the iPhone screen, a 
new tab in Safari, or display a prompt for you to choose a location to 
download it. If so, you can pick a folder to store it in on iCloud, in 
your iPhone's set of folders, or in a folder like Dropbox, if you use 
that app
