Since iOS 8, opening a ZIP file has been possible with a single tap. However, if you want to continue using the individual files contained in the ZIP file, a few additional steps are necessary. We will show you how you can open ZIP files on your iPhone or iPad and then edit them further.

Open the ZIP file on iOS

You can either open your ZIP file on the iPhone directly in the attachment of the associated e-mail by tapping it , or you can first download it to your " Files " app and open it there. Select " Preview Contents " to view the files contained in the ZIP one by one. Unfortunately, there is no way to extract the files from this view.
