Anki on ios - how to import a .csv file into the app?

AnkiMobile (iPhone/iPad) Help
7

Hi, I was actually able to do a bulk import on the Anki app on my iPhone. I’m not sure if this is a new feature or not, but here’s how I did it:

  1. I created my flash cards on Google Sheets
  2. I copied and pasted it into an online .txt file maker on Safari (I used edit pad dot org)
  3. I downloaded the .txt file
  4. I clicked on it in the download tab in Safari
  5. It automatically opened in Anki, allowing me to alter the settings before importing the cards in bulk

I was very surprised this automatically opened in Anki. I was even more surprised I was able to import these cards in bulk, given that I can’t seem to find any settings in the app that allows this, and everywhere online says you can’t import in bulk on your iPhone. But, I did it! So, I hope this also works for you!
