Answered by Jarrod Smith

To create a Pages document on your iPhone, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the Pages app on your iPhone. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the App Store.

2. Once you have opened the app, you will be taken to the document manager screen. Here, you will see a list of your existing documents and the option to create a new one. Tap the “+” button at the top of the screen to create a new document.

3. In the template chooser, you will be presented with a variety of options. Tap on the category labeled “Basic” to access the blank templates.

4. Now, you will see a selection of blank templates to choose from. Swipe through the options and tap on the one that suits your needs. If you don’t see the templates, you may need to tap on “Choose a Template” first.

5. Once you have selected a template, the blank document will open. You can start typing by tapping on the text area on the screen. The keyboard will appear, allowing you to enter your text.

6. As you type, the text will automatically adjust to fit the page. You can use the formatting options at the top of the keyboard to customize the font, size, style, and alignment of your text.

7. To add additional elements to your document, such as images, tables, or shapes, you can tap on the “+” button at the top of the screen. This will open a menu where you can choose the type of element you want to add.

8. Once you have finished creating your document, you can save it by tapping on the “Documents” button at the top left corner of the screen. This will take you back to the document manager, where you will see your newly created document listed.

9. Alternatively, you can tap on the “Share” button at the top right corner of the screen to export your document in various formats, such as PDF or Word.

10. To access and edit your document later, simply open the Pages app and tap on the document in the document manager. You can also organize your documents into folders for easier management.

Remember to save your document periodically to ensure you don’t lose any of your work. Additionally, you can take advantage of features like auto-save and iCloud integration to automatically back up your documents and access them across multiple devices.

Creating a Pages document on your iPhone is a straightforward process, and with the ability to customize your document using various formatting options, you can create professional-looking content directly from your device.
