I was amazed when i came to realize some people don’t know how to extract a file from a zipped file, this is a quick tip on how to extract a zip file using xplore.

What does a zip file mean?
A zip file is a file that contains contents that have been compressed for either transmission or storage purpose.

Usually a zip file ends with a file extension name of “.zip”. and to extract such files, you will require an application called xplore. This app have been a long serving servant since the days of Symbian phones. It works just fine when called upon, see guide below on how to extract a zipped image, document, music, video and some other files with the .zip file extension mark.
