What Is the Files App?
It also contains documents stored on iOS devices that were created in other apps.
With the Files app, it’s possible for you to copy these documents to any storage location.

Turn on the toggle switches for the available apps and then tapDone.
Tap and hold the file you want to move.
It pops out of its place on the screen, and a translucent copy appears under your finger.
The number of files in the stack displays in the upper-right corner.
Use another finger to tap the destination of the stack of files.
Shift the group of files from one finger to another if your hands are in an awkward position.
Drag the items to a new destination, which may be a folder or a menu.
The blue number in the upper-right corner turns green when the files are over a valid location.
Lift your finger to transfer the files to the selected folder.
This method can be faster and more convenient than managing documents and photos with multiple fingers and hands.
