Where Are My Downloads on Android?
To navigate Android’s internal storage, you need an Android file manager app such as My Files. You can also connect your phone to a computer to manage files and folders. In most instances, whatever you download will end up in the Downloads folder. However, depending on the app you downloaded from, the location might be different. If you’re an Android user (Android 7 or later), locating your downloads is similar to using Windows Explorer or Mac’s Finder.

Downloads Stored on Your iPhone
iPhone users running iOS 11 or newer have more control over where downloaded files are stored. In the past, downloads ended up in a location based on the file type. However, in iOS 11 and later, you can access downloads in the Files app. Apple’s Files app is a more streamlined approach to accessing the images, videos, and documents saved to your phone apps and cloud services. The Files app is essentially the iPhone’s file manager for iOS 11 and up.
