A significant change can be seen in the new Files app that comes with iOS 13 and iPadOS. The updated Files app includes native support for creating zip files on iPhone and iPad, thus eliminating the need to use any third-party apps. Earlier, the app could just unzip files or uncompress a zip archive.

Speaking of a ZIP file, it lets you combine multiple files such as photos, videos and PDFs into a single zipped file. You can easily share the compressed zip file over email and make it easier for the recipient to download several attachments in one go. Moreover, compression usually helps in reducing the original file size, though we didn’t notice a significant reduction in the size of files compressed using Files app.

In this article, we will guide you through the steps to make a zip file of photos on your iOS device.

Note: For this, your device should be running either iOS 13 or iPadOS.
