It's highly likely these files were added by a third-party app or by a download. For this reason, we recommend you try reviewing the files without opening them.
Open the Files app on your iPhone. Tap on the Browse button at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the Downloads folder. You should see all your downloadedfiles in this folder. If you still can't find your downloadedfiles, try checking the Downloads folder on your iCloud Drive or other cloud storage services you may be using.
These are files used by the MyAT&Tapplication. This is normal and not anything to be concerned about. The bin files you tried to open are not text files, but when you rename them to txt, the files app tries to open it like one anyway which gives incorrect results.
This memory is where the operating system, applications, user data, and downloadedfiles reside. The initial content suggests that files are sent to ‘Apple’s Servers’ for processing before being transferred to the iPhone. This is a partly false statement.
Are your downloadedfiles mysteriously disappearing on your iPhone 16, 15, 14, or iPad running iOS 18? Many users have reported that after downloadingfiles from Google or other sources, they can’t find them in the Filesapp, Safari downloads, or any known folder.
Deleting downloadedfiles on an iPhone is easy, but it can be confusing if you aren’t familiar with how and where iOS stores them. In reality, downloadedfiles can end up in completely different locations on your device. If you don’t know where to look, you’ll end up wasting a lot of time.
The primary location for your downloadedfiles on iPhone is the Files app. Think of it as your iPhone’s digital filing cabinet. Specifically, look within the “Downloads” folder inside the Files app.
