Annotate Your Files on the Go
Another cool feature you can use with the Files app is the ability to annotate or markup any PDF or image file right from your iPhone.
Granted, it doesn’t work quite as well as doing it on a computer. But it’s more than enough to highlight something, add a block of text, or sign a document.
To edit your files, you need to:
- Open the Files app.
- Open the file you want to edit.
- Tap the Markup tool button in the bottom right corner.
- Choose the tool you want to use to edit your file.
- You can also tap the AutoFill button at the top of the screen (the one that looks like a pen signing a document) and then tap the plus icon at the bottom right corner to add a text box or a signature.
- When you finish editing your file, tap on Done.
Note that this only works with PDF files and image files, although you can open other document types from the Files app in their appropriate apps if you have them installed on your iPhone, such as DOCX files in Microsoft Word and Numbers files in Apple’s Numbers app.
