Question

How do I find downloaded photos on my iPhone?

Eric Su

Community Answer

If you downloaded photos from the Internet, it should just show up in the Photos app. If not, try searching for it in the Files app.

Question

How can I find the two folders where my downloaded videos are saved?

Stuart hale

Community Answer

To locate the folders where your videos are being downloaded, open the Files app and check the Browse tab for folders like Downloads or those specific to apps like Safari or Chrome. If you used Safari or another app to download, check that app's folder in the Files app. You can also swipe down on the home screen and search for the video or file by name.

Question

I can't log into my iCloud because I created too many Apple IDs. What should I do? I did a backup, but there's nothing saved on my phone at all.

jonh john

Community Answer

If you can't log into your iCloud account because you've created too many Apple IDs, try contacting Apple Support for assistance in recovering your account or merging IDs. You might also consider deleting excess Apple IDs via the Apple ID website. If recovery isn't possible, creating a new iCloud account could be a solution. If you've backed up your device, restoring it from iCloud or iTunes might help retrieve your files.

How do I find files on my iPhone 13 Pro Max?

StrangelyQuiet

Top Answerer

The Files app icon, which looks like a blue folder on a white background, should be on your home screen. If it's not visible, use the search bar to locate it. If you still can't find it, you can download it again from the App Store.

It might be that the files are in your iCloud, and you need to download them to your phone. More likely, the files may not be compatible with your iPhone. Make sure your apps and phone are updated.

Question

Why do I often encounter "free downloads" that do not allow me to try out the full product?

Majid Ayoub

Community Answer

Many websites advertise "free downloads" to attract users, but the download often provides only an installer, not the full usable version. After installation, you may be required to pay, subscribe, or upgrade to access actual features. Similarly, some apps offer a "free download" without a true free trial, meaning you can download the file but cannot use it without creating an account or making a payment. Alternatively, the "free" aspect might be limited to basic features, with advanced tools locked behind a paywall.
