iOS/iPad OS has had a file manager for years? It's not great, and heavily restricted, but it for sure exists.
That's kind of the point though. Apple's file manager portrays a "flat" filesystem, where all of your data is laid out neatly on the table - so to speak - and the actual locations of those directories within the system are buried inside vague and protected locations "for security". Android file managers embrace a more traditional Unix-like filesystem hierarchy.
In what way is it restricted? I dont do much but being able to explore to find my files is necessary.
