One task that was always easier on macOS was to rename multiple files at once using Automator. The Files app on iOS\/iPadOS doesn\u2019t have a lot of bulk actions. But I finally cracked it with Shortcuts to let you batch rename files on iOS and iPadOS. My shortcut lets you do three specific things: prepend text, append text, and replace text in a file name. If I think of more things to do with file names in the future, I\u2019ll update the shortcut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3148,"featured_media":98826,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[35803,9385],"class_list":["post-98822","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-file-management","tag-shortcuts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBatch Rename Files on iOS Using This Shortcut -
