With just hours to go until Apple’s WWDC<\/a> keynote, a new placeholder app listing for a “Files” app<\/a> has appeared on the iOS App Store<\/a> for iPhone and iPad<\/a>, as noticed by Steven Troughton-Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n
\nDetails on the app are scant, as the app description is merely “Files for iOS” and there are no other details on the app other than an icon depicting a blue folder, although Troughton-Smith points out the app only supports 64-bit architectures. iOS 11<\/a> has been rumored to be dropping support for 32-bit apps, and Apple has been warning users<\/a> about apps that have not been updated with 64-bit support.<\/p>\n

As we noted in our iOS 11 wishlist feature<\/a>, file management is one area where MacRumors<\/em> readers have been hoping to see improvement, and this upcoming Files app could help provide that.<\/p>\n

The Files app is undoubtedly a default system app for iOS 11, but system apps that can be deleted have App Store entries to allow users to reinstall them. As Troughton-Smith notes, a listing for the Activity app has also appeared<\/a> in the App Store, suggesting users will be able to delete the app in iOS 11, something that is not currently possible.<\/p>\n
