Hi @qinghao zhang ,
We tested at our end by downloading file in SharePoint from Safari on iPad, and we can download file without issue.
However, if we test in SharePoint application, we can’t save file in iPad.
Given this situation, we found that we can’t download files from SharePoint application and it seems like a default design.
