How to take advantage of new Files app features in iPadOS 16

With iPadOS 16 released to the public in October, Apple is introducing a number of new features to the Files app – allowing users to manage their files just like they would on a computer. This update brings more advanced options, such as the ability to change file extensions, view folder sizes, and more. Read on as we detail how to take advantage of the new Files app in iPadOS 16.

With iPadOS 16, the Files app on iPad gets a long-awaited feature. For example, the interface has been updated with navigation buttons, just like the Finder on macOS. Navigating between folders is now easier with the new forward and back buttons next to the folder names at the top of the screen.

Once you tap the arrow next to a folder name, the Files app displays a menu with the folder's size, quick access to previous folders, and options to rename, copy, or move it . There's also a "Get Info" button that now displays more detailed information about the folder you selected.

The menu that appears when you press (or right-click) on a file also gets new options. This includes easy access to quick actions to mark up, rotate, convert images to PDF, and remove the background of images. Of course, the quick actions vary depending on the file format chosen.
