What you can do

Edit a file’s name and extension separately for clearer naming.

How to use it

  1. Long-press a file and choose Rename.
  2. Edit the name; ordinary files also have a separate extension field.
  3. Confirm and wait for the list to refresh.

Files in authorized device folders can also be renamed. This changes the name at the original location; Live Photo images and paired videos are renamed together.

Before you start

Changing an extension does not convert the file’s contents. Folders have no extension field, and Live Photo extensions are read-only.
