On an iPhone, downloaded files are mainly found in the Files app. To locate them, open the Files app, tap the Browse tab at the bottom, then go to either "On My iPhone" or "iCloud Drive" and open the "Downloads" folder. This is where most downloaded files, including those from Safari, are stored. For recent downloads from Safari, you can also tap the "aA" icon next to the search field in Safari and select "Downloads" to see the latest files. Photos downloaded from the internet typically appear in the Photos app, while downloaded music is found in the Music app under Library > Downloaded. If files are not immediately visible, you can search for them within the Files app or confirm the Safari download location in Settings > Safari > Downloads to check if they're saved on iCloud or locally on the iPhone. Summary of places to check:
- Files app > Browse > Downloads folder
- Safari > aA button > Downloads (recent downloads)
- Photos app (for images)
- Music app > Library > Downloaded (for music)
This approach covers most types of downloads and where they are stored on an iPhone.
