Until now, users are actively using the archives. This is convenient for sending multiple files at the same time, and their final size will be smaller than the original. But the situation may develop in such a way that sooner or later you will receive an archive on your iPhone or iPad by email. In this article we will show you how to open zip or rar archives directly from your mobile device.
With zip archives, everything is much easier initially. The fact is that starting with iOS 7, the standard Mail and Messages applications support working with this type of archives. They will automatically unzip the files. An exception may be files received, for example, through AirDrop, the Safari browser or an alternative email client. In such cases, just like with rar archives, you cannot do without third-party applications from the App Store.
The App Store has a huge number of both purebred archivers and file managers that can work with archives. After installing such programs in the iOS system, just use the " Open in " button, and then select the installed program.
For questions about choosing a suitable file manager that can do more than just open archives (by the way, not only zip and rar, but also more exotic ones like 7z, tar, gz or bz2), refer to our article on 6 best file managers for iPhone and iPad. If you just want an archiver, refer to the App Store search. There you will find a huge number of both paid and free solutions.
