Ipad safari download files hidden

hidden downloaded files.


Downloaded files via safari are accessible only through safari>downloads icon


They are not stored in the “download” folder or anywhere in files.


but they are accessible which means they are stored somewhere in the ipad.


The only way around it is to open the files via safari download history and manually save it to a specific folder.


So when downloading hundreds of files, I’d have to go through each file and save them one by one manually.


The worst part is when the “clear” downloads history button is tapped, access to the files are gone but are still stored somewhere in the ipad which means I would have to re-download the same files again and manually tap save to folder for each file one-by-g0****-one



iPad, iPadOS 18

Scratch that.


The worst part is, It’s not even possible to reset or uninstall/re-install safari to fix it.


Actually nevermind.


Just gonna use firefox or chrome from now on.


My bad, for expecting safari to work like a normal browser.
