Compressing folders on an iPad can be useful for two main reasons — optimizing storage and making it easier to handle multiple files. When you compress a folder, you reduce its size in some cases, but not always.
For example, files like JPEGs or other formats that are already compressed won’t shrink much further. However, the real benefit of compression is in bundling multiple files into one.
