Apple’s Files app gets closer to the macOS Finder in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

Posted on August 3, 2022

Apple’s Files app brings basic file management functionality to iPhone and iPad. While it isn’t as robust as Finder on Mac, updates to the Files app in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 bring it closer to the macOS Finder experience.

Wesley Hilliard for AppleInsider:

Most of the changes made to the Files app focus on making interaction paradigms similar to macOS for better ecosystem parity. These new updates make it easier to locate, manipulate, and organize files…

When interacting with a file, a handful of new interactions are available depending on the file type and context. These are hidden under the “right click” or press and hold menu.

Using “Get Info” on folders will now reveal the size of the folder’s contents. Previously, this wouldn’t show any data for size. Also, the “where” section shows the file structure leading to the selected file or folder.
