If you plan to send multiple files from your mobile phone to other devices or computers, you may consider compressing them first. Compressed files usually take up much less storage space and thus can be transferred to other computers and devices more quickly than uncompressed files. Most Android phones allow users to directly archive and unarchive files and documents in the stock Files or File Manager app. No third-party zipper or extractor app required.

There are two file manager apps on Infinix mobile phones. Unlock your phone, and you should find the File Manager app on your phone screen.
