When Apple added extension support in iOS, it expanded what you could do on the best iPhone or iPad. You could send a snippet of text directly to your calendar or to-do app, or you could even use the features of your favorite photo editing app to edit the image directly in the Photos app itself. To do this, you have to have your apps with extension support already downloaded from the App Store, and you can use them at will in the Photos app. And the best part? These edits are non-destructive, so you can change, remove, and revert them whenever you need to.

Both action extensions and share extensions can streamline your workflow by allowing you to access important functions and giving you the ability to share content through the various apps on your iPhone or iPad.
Action extensions let apps share their functions with other apps installed on your iPhone or iPad. For example, you can use a 1Password action extension to log in to your Twitter account from inside Tweetbot. You can use a Bing action extension to translate a web page inside Safari.
Share extensions work very similarly, and are a great way to expand the capabilities of your iPhone or iPad. You can, for instance, share a cool app you found in the App Store with friends with a couple taps of the Messages extension, or tweet out an interesting article without having to leave Safari. Beyond sharing with other people, share extensions also let you share with yourself. Maybe save the interesting article you found for later in the read-it-later app of your choice. Create a new note from something you liked on Pinterest.
A quick note: extensions for particular apps will only show up in apps whose content they support. For instance, while you can open an image in Photos in Procreate, you can’t do the same with an image from Pinterest.
How to enable action extensions on iPhone and iPad
- Launch Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to any web page and tap on the Share button in the bottom navigation.
Scroll all the way through the bottom row of icons.
Tap on the More button.
Tap Done to finish.
How to reorder action extensions on iPhone and iPad
- Launch Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to any web page and tap on the Share button in the bottom navigation.
Swipe left to scroll all the way through the bottom row of icons.
Tap on the More button.
Tap Done to finish.
How to access and use action extensions on iPhone and iPad
- Launch the app that contains the content you want to work with.
- Tap on the Share button.
Choose the action extension you’d like to use.
In this example, I’m using 1Password to sign into my Mobile Nations account. What you see may be different depending on the kind of action you choose. Follow the directions you see on your screen.
How to enable share extensions on iPhone and iPad
You can activate share extensions in any app that uses the standard iOS Share Sheet on iOS 8 or later. In this example, we’ll be using Safari.
- Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to a web page.
- Tap on the share button (looks like a box with an arrow pointing upwards.
Scroll all the way to the right end of the top row of icons.
Tap More.
Tap Done.
How to access and use share extensions on iPhone and iPad
Once you’ve set them up, accessing share extensions is pretty easy and straightforward.
- Open your chosen app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the share button.
Tap the share extension that you want to use. Remember that since each extension is different, working with each will be a slightly different experience.
How to reorder share extensions on iPhone and iPad
You can reorder share extensions to move those that you need to the top of the list. Here’s how. Once again, you can do this in any app that uses the share sheet in iOS 8 or later, and in this example, we’ll use Safari.
- Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad,
- Navigate to a web page.
- Tap on the share button (looks like a box with an arrow pointing upwards.
Scroll all the way to the right end of the top row of icons.
Tap More.
Press and hold on the reorder icon on the right side of the extension you wish to move (looks like three stacked lines).

Tap Done.

iOS 8 offers powerful new tools to developers such as extensions, which allow third-party iPhone and iPad apps to be more flexible and interconnected than ever before. AppleInsider offers a look at some of the best iOS 8 extensions available to download on the App Store right now.
Clips
A free, universal app with a $1.99 in-app purchase to enable cloud syncing, Clips allows users to save multiple lines of text, URLs and photos to access later via its today widget.
Featured in the video above, select and copy text, then pull down the today widget to add your selection to Copy. Then you’ll be able to access any of your saved clips to paste in other apps via the widget.
View Source
At just 99 cents, View Source allows developers to pull up the source code for any website they’re viewing in Safari by using the extension.
Once the source code is pulled up, you can send it via email, change app themes, or send it to other apps enabled in the share menu. A must-have for Web developers.
Fantastical 2
Arguably one of the best calendar apps for iOS, Fantastical 2 for iPhone has been updated to include a Notification Center widget that will show you a month-at-a-glance view or your upcoming events for today. It is currently on sale for $2.99.
The share menu extension can be accessed in various apps and will parse any visible text into an event without even opening Fantastical. URLs and addresses will also be added to event when shared via the extension.
A separate version of Fantastical 2 for iPad is also available for $7.99.
A popular read-later service, Pocket was previously only accessible in apps could connect to your account. But now, with their new iOS 8 extension, users can save anything to their Pocket account where the iOS share menu is enabled. Social networking apps, Safari and even photos can be saved using the new extension.
1Password
1Password is a universal iOS and OS X app that saves logins, credit cards, checking accounts and more safely and securely.
Before iOS 8,1Password featured an in-app browser to automatically login to secure accounts. But with their new extension, logins are accessible directly in Safari and many other apps.
And with Touch ID functionality now built-in, keeping track and using secure passwords has never been easier.
Afterlight
Another universal app, Afterlight brings all its filters and effects to the stock Photos app with extensions for just 99 cents.
Tap the edit button when viewing any photo, and users will have the option to manipulate highlights, shadows, noise, vignette, add shapes, lights and much more using Afterlight’s editing tools.
Transmit
Another great tool for web developers, the new $9.99 Transmit for iOS connects to FTP, Amazon S3, Dream Objects or WebDav servers.
Server settings will sync to both iPad and the new Transmit app for OS X. Once added, users can download, edit and upload files to and from your accounts within the app.
With the new extension, you can also send files, images or even HTML pages directly from Safari using the share menu. Transmit allows you to save files locally on your device as well.

I wish someone would develop a global eq app extension.

Question about Pocket for any users: Are there extensions (in my case, for Chrome) for MacOS browsers that let me “save for later” there? It would be nice to be able to also save things for later while browsing on my Mac then read them on my iPhone or iPad later. Edit: Should have just checked first. looks like there’s an extension for Chrome to add items to Pocket.
stephenrobles
Pocket also has a Mac application that adds itself to the share menu so you can save from Safari and anything else that uses default OS X sharing:

After you call customer care, friend’s or family member’s office number, and such, you often have to type in an extension. If it is a one-time affair, then no problem. However, if you repeatedly have to call these numbers, instead of manually typing the extension each time, you can have the Phone app do it automatically for you. Let me tell you more about it and show how to dial an extension on iPhone.
Before You Begin:
- After you enter a ‘pause’ [represented by a comma (,) in the phone number], the phone app will pause before dialing the extension. One comma (,) means a pause for 2 seconds. You can enter multiple pauses.
- After you enter a ‘wait’ [represented by a semicolon (;)], the phone app will show the extension (but won’t automatically dial). All you have to do is tap on the Dial “extension number” when on call. This is helpful when you don’t know precisely after how much waiting time the option to enter the extension comes up.
How to Dial an Extension on iPhone
- Open the Phone app and make sure you are on the Keypad screen.
- Press the original phone number you wish to dial.
- Long press on the asterisk key (*) until a comma (,) appears next to the phone number. Now, Press the extension number after the comma. If you want the pause to be longer than 2 seconds, follow this step again to add multiple commas.
How to Add an Extension to Your iPhone Contact
You can also save a phone number with an extension to the iPhone contacts book.
- Open the Contacts app. Or, open the Phone app and tap on Contacts from the bottom row.
- To edit an existing contact, tap on the name and then tap on Edit from the top right. In case you wish to add a new entry, tap on the plus (+) button from the top right.
- Tap on the saved phone number. After the phone number, tap on the +*# button from the bottom left.
- Tap on pause. Doing this will enter a comma (,) next to the phone number. To add more pauses, repeat the process.
Note: If you are unsure how many pauses to put, call the number and see after how many seconds the computerized voice asks you to enter the extension. Now, divide that second count by two and enter that many pauses after the phone number.
Signing Off
This is how you can effortlessly dial an extension on the iPhone. I hope this quick guide helped you. If you have an additional question (or something to add to this post), please feel free to put it in the comments section below.
Next, make sure to check other helpful resources that will help you enhance your iPhone experience.
A full name of a file consists of its name and extension. File extension is a very important part of the file name. Sometimes without the file extension you have no idea what the file is. It is not easy to show file extensions on iOS devices. There are several file manager apps to display filename extensions. In this article, I’ll show you how to view file extension using the native Files app which is shipped with iOS 11 and later. I will also share with you a third-party file manager for iOS which allows us to display and edit file extension on iPhone iPad. For example, you can use it to change .png to .jpg extension.
View file extension in Files app on iPhone
Firstly you can make use of the share feature to save the file to the Files app if not yet. Once a file being added to Files app, long press on the file until its file name disappears, then release your finger, you will then see a menu bar pops up with options such as Copy, Duplicate, Rename, Move, Delete, Share, Tag, Info. Use the left or right arrow to find more options. Choose Info from the menu, the file details will be displayed in a full screen like below.
From the file info screen, you can find the full file name with extension, file type, size, storage location, created date and time, modified date and time, tags, etc.
Change file extension on iPhone
The stock Files app on iPhone can help us view file extension, it however does not allow us to edit file extensions. You need to download third-party file manager app for this. File Master is a great one. It is free and powerful. Find out more details about this file manager for iPhone here.
Download this free file manager app onto your iPhone. Use the share feature to copy the file from its original app to the File Master app. Long press on the file in the file manager app to show the context menu and choose Rename, you can then change the file name and/or its file extension. See below figure.

It’s useless. You can’t copy the file back to Files.
You can, using long press then Share, then “Save to Files”.
I just did.
That’s how I did it as well and it worked. Thanks for posting your response because otherwise I may not have even given the app a try. It worked perfect for my needs. Thanks!
I was able to easily change my file format and then send it back to Files. It’s now a working file for me.
Why can’t ANYONE ANYWHERE address the IOS problem of file association when attempting to upload files within a browser. When attempting to choose files, the iPad opens inside camera with no options. Period. I would like to change the choose file default association to the files app. It is so unbelievable that I cannot find any answers to this problem!
Mac “Apple” OS/IOS and CONTROL
When it comes to “phones”, lack of control over my own mobile device is my greatest frustration with my iphones. Having to use iTunes, no file extensions etc.
When I first started training in multimedia many, many years ago (just when OSX was first released to the world) Mac had a huge advantage in terms of stability and reliability. My Macs never crashed. I have had a (healthy – a machine that was less than 10 years old) Mac crash on me maybe once or twice in my life. PCs crashed all the time… brand new!
What I also loved about Mac was the fact that shortcuts were built in for EVERY single function of the computer. Not just in applications, but the OS. Everything from opening new windows to opening programs to emptying the trash and shutting down etc could be controlled with keyboard shortcuts. In fact, one could do almost everything and almost never need to waste time moving a mouse through menus. Microsoft never got close to that.
Control is my biggest disappointment with Mac mobile (iOS) devices today.
I like to know what file type I have in my mobile device for a variety of reasons. I also furiously resent not being able to treat my iPhone like a computer and have that level of control. Transferring information is a nightmare from and to IOS.
All technologies manufacturers love to give us advertising and marketing fluff about “endless possibilities” and “bringing dreams to life”, “your imagination is your only limit” blah, blah, blah! Marketing crap! You can just hear the music, can’t you. Pianos and harps and see images of lots of white with blue skies in your head. As if we’ve died and gone to silicon heaven or something! Bollocks!
The civilian technologies industries’ – especially mobile devices – dreams come true is limiting our control over our devices and imagination, so they have control over more content to sell to us. Because it’s about their dreams of making more money. Not dreams. And precious memories. We have that technology already. It’s called the human brain.
The least they can do is offer us the option of file extensions. The good old “dot.three” convention gives us too much control for their liking. And it doesn’t look as pretty. However, they are trying to make people forget that form follows function.
MAC OSX revolutionised function and form. iOS is the arrogant, mutation, bastard seed of that revolutionary change. And Microsoft has tried to emulate it (ironic since the only reason one ever wanted to put a Microsoft emulator in their Mac was to play games – the only place Apple fell short and missed out) since Microsoft realised it couldn’t compete in originality.
Now even Microsoft executables are being called apps, but app is just the file extension for Mac OS system files; applications. And anyone who now uses a computer calls any program an app, even if it is on a non-Apple/Mac machine.
Avoid this disappointing app.
I went to the trouble of installing it and trying every control it showed to find a file, already on my iPad, in order to change its extension from txt to pgn. Apple won’t allow users to do this simple, simple, but necessary task.
This app would not display any files already on my iPad. Seems like STEP-1 !
Failing this first step mw]eans all of the rest of its capabilities are for naught, and the enterprise is therefore a FAIL.
I wish it weren’t so. Apple is at the root of the problem, refusing access to a task that is basic and assumed with any other OS — not possiblewith ipadOS. Why? Such excessive overcontrol of users…ot creates a community that is unable to change, or probably comprehend, a file’s extension. That’s just mean, especially with such expensive devices….
You can’t use iPhone to rename or change the file type. Only rename the file in general. iPad may be different but currently you cannot change file types using the files app on iPhone pro latest ios

Apple iOS
iOS (recently iPhone OS) is Apple’s mobile operating system and platform for Apple iPhone mobile phones.
With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS — Apple’s mobile operating system — is the foundation of iPhone. And even as other phones try to catch up, the technologies and features built into iOS keep it years ahead of the competition.
Elegant and intuitive interface.
The first time you pick up an iPhone, you know how to use it. That’s because the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface in iOS was designed for the most natural pointing device ever: your finger. So whether you’re using one of the built-in apps or one of the over 1,4 mil. apps and games available from the App Store, you control everything with a tap, drag, swipe, pinch, flick, or twist of your fingers. Even tasks that might seem complicated — such as starting a FaceTime call or editing a video with iMovie — are simple, easy, and fun.
