Steps to access your downloads on an iPad:

• If you use Safari as your primary browser on iOS, the quickest place to get your downloads is there.
• Tap the Show Downloads icon in Safari's toolbar, which looks just like it does on Mac, to open the Downloads Manager. You can then access your file or see it in its folder by tapping the magnifying glass.
• If you don't see the Show Downloads option, your downloads may have been deleted by Safari. In Settings > Safari > Downloads, look for the Remove Downloads option, which can be set to After one day, Upon successful download, or Manually.
