How to Rename iPhone Photos with File
As I told you at the beginning of the guide, since the app Gallery of iOS does not include an ad hoc function to rename photos on the iPhone, to succeed in your intent you have to resort to a "trick": use Fillet, the file manager that Apple has decided to include in iOS starting from version 11 of its operating system, which, in fact, allows you to manage files on the iPhone and in the cloud in a fairly complete and versatile way.

Then press on the item Add, located at the top right.
If the item to save the photo in File does not appear, scroll the menu displayed, from right to left, press the icon Other e carries his ON l'interruttore che trovi accanto alla dicitura Fillet.
