The downloaded files will be listed there in chronological order. The Files or My Files app is located in the app drawer. Open the app and tap the Downloads option to view downloaded files on your phone or tablet.

They go to the corresponding apps on your iPhone or iPad. If you don't know the exact location of a file, you can use a free iOS data manager to transfer, download, and organize files on your iPhone or iPad.
The safest place to get apps for your Mac is the App Store. If you download and install apps from the internet or directly from a developer, macOS continues to protect your Mac.
When you install Mac apps, plug-ins, and installer packages from outside the App Store, macOS checks the Developer ID signature to verify that the software is from an identified developer and that it has not been altered. By default, macOS Catalina also requires software to be notarized, so you can be confident that the software you run on your Mac doesn't contain known malware.
By default, the security and privacy preferences of your Mac are set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers. For additional security, you can chose to allow only apps from the App Store. Click the lock and enter your password to make changes.
An app that has been notarized by Apple indicates that Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected:. Prior to macOS Catalina, opening an app that hasn't been notarized shows a yellow warning icon and asks if you're sure you want to open it:. If you have set your Mac to allow apps only from the App Store and you try to install an app from elsewhere, your Mac will say that the app can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store.
If you see this warning, it means that the app was not notarized, and Apple could not scan the app for known malicious software. You may want to look for an updated version of the app in the App Store or look for an alternative app. User profile for user: Penemonie Penemonie. More Less.
