# Using Collections on iOS

> Create and manage Collections on iPhone and iPad — including Gallery View, touch gestures, and fullscreen mode.

Collections on iOS are fully featured and optimized for touch. This guide covers the iOS-specific interactions for working with Collections on iPhone and iPad.

<Info>
  For general Collections concepts like field types, views, and sorting, see the [Collections Overview](/en/organize-and-find/collections) and [Collection Views](/en/organize-and-find/collections/views) articles.
</Info>

## Getting Started

Create a Collection inside any document using the slash menu or the block menu. On iOS, the creation flow lets you configure your fields and start adding entries right away.

<Tip>
  Set up your fields first — having predefined categories and tags makes data entry much faster on mobile.

## Creating and Editing Entries

### Adding Entries

Use the **Add** button at the top right or the **+** button at the bottom left to create new entries.

### Filling in Data

Tap any cell to edit it. Select fields show your predefined options for quick input.

### Adding Content to Entries

Each entry in a Collection is its own page in Craft. Tap the entry title to open it and add any content — text, images, links, or nested pages.

### Deleting Entries

Long-press on any row to access the context menu. You can delete the entire entry or clear specific cell content.

### Managing Select Field Options

When you need a new option for a select field, type it directly and tap **Add Option**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/craft-support/wb5Ce6cIohLU54lt/images/organize-and-find/collections/ios-guide/en/content/add-value.gif?s=03d30e85dc03e4b294251e908bfb80cb" alt="Adding a new value to a select field" width="600" height="1192" data-path="images/organize-and-find/collections/ios-guide/en/content/add-value.gif" />

To remove a value from a select field:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Tap on the field header to open field settings
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Tap the value you want to delete
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select **Delete** from the options
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Tap **Apply** to save changes
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Table View on iOS

Table View on iOS works like a spreadsheet with touch-optimized interactions:

* **Scroll horizontally** to see more columns
* **Tap a cell** to edit its value
* **Long-press a row** for the context menu (delete, duplicate)
* **Resize columns** by dragging column borders

## Gallery View on iOS

Gallery View displays your entries as visual cards with image previews, optimized for touch.

* **Tap a card** to open the entry
* **Long-press a card** for the context menu with options to select, delete, or manage the card

### Fullscreen Mode (iPhone)

On iPhone, tap an inline collection to open it in **fullscreen mode** with a smooth zoom transition. This gives you the full screen for browsing your collection without the surrounding document.

In landscape orientation, the fullscreen view uses the entire screen — the view selector moves to the top bar, and you can scroll to hide and show the toolbars for more space.

## Switching Between Views

When your Collection has multiple views, view tabs appear at the top. Tap any tab to switch.

To convert a view type or add a new view, use the configure menu (⋯):

* **Add View** — create a new Table or Gallery view
* **Turn Into** — convert the current view between Table and Gallery

## iOS Tips

* **Long-press** is your right-click — use it on rows, cards, and cells for contextual actions
* **Swipe gestures** let you quickly navigate between entries
* For the best experience on iPhone, keep Collections focused — iPad handles larger datasets more comfortably.
* Gallery View is great for one-handed browsing on iPhone, especially in fullscreen mode
