IIRC modern iOS ships with a file manager. The black box used to be even worse!
iPhone bitch here
Yeah we absolutely have a file manager!
And where might I find the files saved by an application?
“Files”
Most apps aren't visible there on an iPad. When connected to a computer other folders are visible instead but I was never able to get all of them.
you mean to tell me the patient zero of enshittification was fucking trash? No, really??
The whole fucking movement happened the second they rolled out the fashion adverts for fucking ipods that required itunes to scatter your files into a zillion folders for no fucking reason and people went "yeah, I don't give a shit about owning my device or data"
Then came the walled garden, then the shitty apps, then the perpetual surveilance machines.
Now I literally cannot avoid having a phone since work , citizenship and banking two factor authentications are mandatory and on my phone. Fuck sake.
Walled garden i remember from the 90s.
