Ever downloaded a PDF, photo, or song on your iPhone and then… poof! It vanishes? Don't panic! Finding your downloads on an iPhone is actually pretty straightforward, once you know where to look.
The key is the **Files app**. Yes, that unassuming blue folder icon is your download hub. If you've never used it, it's pre-installed on your iPhone.
Here's the breakdown:
1. **Open the Files App:** Look for the blue Files icon on your home screen.
2. **Check Locations:** In the Files app, you'll see different locations like 'iCloud Drive' and 'On My iPhone.'
3. **Look for 'Downloads':** Most likely, your downloads will be in a folder called 'Downloads' within one of these locations (usually 'On My iPhone' if you didn't choose iCloud).
If you *still* can't find your download, consider where you downloaded it from. Some apps, like Safari, let you choose a specific download location. You might need to check your Safari settings or the app you used to download the file. Happy hunting!
