Downloads are not in folder on iPhone

Is there an updated answer for this? Some things go to files on my phone or the cloud, others just go into the ether! I just downloaded documents from SSA (using DDG.) It said each was downloaded. If so, to where? These are highly sensitive documents!

Thanks!

I’m experiencing the same issue with Chrome downloads after downloading over 500 MB of different audio files using the “click save to files” option. The megabytes are counted as downloads, but I can’t find these files anywhere in the Files app. Notably, there’s no folder dedicated to Chrome within the Files app. Furthermore, the files aren’t available in the Downloads folder on my Files app neither in (iCloud Drive) or on my iPhone. This is a significant disappointment.

I cannot find downloaded files. I have followed your suggestions but they are neither in the download folder on iCloud nor the download folder on iPhone. I have tried setting the safari setting to both and neither work. This used to work fine for me but has stopped working in the last few days. What has changed?

I can NEVER find my creations. I am SICK of this app. It is ridiculous. I search in Icloud drive, Icloud storage, my iphone, etc etc. I transfer them over and over again. This is nuts.

The same thing

I need help I downloaded a movie but I can not find it

Yep same for me - downloads never appear in downloads. It is an absolute joke. What is so hard about file management on iPads and iPhones - just be normal - make it normal .

It's been months I purchased iphone pro max 15..Still don't know where are my downloaded files..Samsung was so simple..not so much of hassles

my downloads are not appear in file downloads what should i do

I think the highlighted point is #4 "You should see all your downloaded files in this folder." Yes you should but no you don't.

Can’t find files downloaded

So I downloaded some songs on music. Apparently I couldn’t find anywhere on files when i tried to upload it. Must it be that difficult to do such a simple thing on Iphone? It’s really frustrating.

There is no download folder in the browse tab.

if I search for download my files from my android phone that were transferred show.
