Still can't rename file extensions though

I just tried with the default files app. You can definitely rename file extensions.

Wow you're right. Just checked again, they must have added that this new major iOS version.

Is there some higher level thing preventing this?

If I open a terminal on my galaxy s23 I don't see anything special with file extensions:

$ echo foo > shit.txt

$ mv shit.txt shit.mp4

$ cat shit.mp4

foo

I was talking about files on iOS.

Don't need the terminal for that. I can use Google Files to rename a pdf to .txt and it opens in a text editor
