I downloaded an MP4 file on my 12.9" iPad Pro running IOS 18.3.1. However, in the Downloads folder, the file has the extension "download," not "mp4." How can I fix that? Howard
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
Using the Files App, tap the Options icon at top-right of the Window - then select View Options from the menu:
Next, from the menu, enable Show All Filename Extensions:
You will now see filenames displayed with their associated filename-extensions. Individual files and their extensions can be changed by selecting a file with a long-touch to expose the associated Action Menu; from the menu, select Rename.

Note that having a "download" extension remaining often means that the download did not complete. If LotusPilot's suggestion of renaming the file does not work, you'll probably need to delete that file and try downloading it again.
