How to Download Files Using Safari on Your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Navigate to the webpage where the file you want to download is located.
  3. Tap on the link to the file you want to download.

Once the file has finished downloading, you can access it by opening the Files app on your iPhone or iPad and navigating to the location where you saved the file.
