Missing file export menu on plus42 iPhone version - nickapos - 05-15-2024 04:29 AM
Hey guys I was trying today to export the state of my plus42 calculator in order to restore it in my laptop and I could not find the file export menu on my iPhone.
I can find it in my android phone but not the iPhone.
What am I missing here?

On iOS, you can use Apple's Files app to access state files. They are under On My iPhone → Plus42 → config.
Another option is to use sharing: in Plus42, go to Main Menu → States → (select state file) → More → Share.
Both of these options work with Free42 as well.

Cheers Thomas, there must have been a glitch because when I tried that in the more option I could only see the option to create a new state file. Not I can see the share option as well.

That's not a glitch -- the More menu only shows the options that are relevant for the state file that is currently selected. If no state file is selected, the only option available is New.

I see, that is not clear in the documentation. I checked and the instructions are most likely referring to the desktop version, I missed the step where I actually need to select a state. I thought that the state I am currently using should be "active"
In any case thank you very much for the help.
