Besides, the document also shows how one can transfer documents to iCloud and then access it via Apple’s office suite – Pages, Numbers and Keynotes.

“The iOS apps for Numbers, Pages, and Keynote support several file types, including Microsoft Office documents. You can import documents from your Android phone and then edit them on your iPhone. Then you can use iCloud to keep those documents up to date across your devices,” Apple explains.
Talking about apps, the page says, “You’ll probably find the apps you’re already using on the App Store. Go to the App Store, search for the apps you have now, and install them. Then sign in with your user name and password.”
