Accessing documents created with Apple’s Pages application on an Android device requires conversion or the use of compatible applications. Pages files, with the extension “.pages,” are native to the Apple ecosystem and not directly supported by Android operating systems. Thus, direct viewing or editing of these files on Android requires a workaround.
The necessity to view or edit Pages documents on Android stems from cross-platform compatibility needs. Individuals who collaborate with others using Apple devices, or those who have previously created documents in Pages, may need to access this content on their Android devices. The ability to open and view these files ensures seamless workflow and prevents data silos that can hinder productivity.
