Hello, according to pkware, the latest zip standard is 6.3.10, what standard does ios 26 use to make zip files in the files app ?
Zip standard in latest ios 26
The only thing better than multiple standards to choose from, is multiple questions on the same topic.
Rather than ask what "standard zip format" (probably the only time those 3 words have ever been used in sequence) that iOS 26 is using, maybe explain why you're asking.
Most likely, it's some custom version that suits Apple's needs. It can, and almost certainly will, change without notice, frustrating your efforts to support the One True Zip.
I don't know what word salad you said
