Add or delete a table in Pages on iPhone
Pages comes with several styles of tables you can use to present information. After you add a table, you can customise it however you like.
Add a new table
In word processing documents, you can add a new table within the body text so that it moves with the text as you type, or place it as a floating object on the page so you can position it freely and it doesn’t move as you edit the text.
In page layout documents, new tables are always added to the page so you can move them freely.
Go to the Pages app
on your iPhone.Open a document, then do one of the following:
Place the table with the text: Tap in the text where you want the table to be fixed. This sets the table to move with text, so if you type before the table, the table moves down. When the table is added, it will have the same justification as the paragraph, so if the paragraph is left or right justified, you can’t centre the table on the page.
Place the table so it can be moved freely: Tap somewhere other than text so that there’s no text insertion point. After the table is added, you can position it where you like — it’s not fixed in the text.

Create a table from existing cells
When you create a new table from cells in an existing table, the original cell data is moved, not copied. The original table is left with empty cells, which you can delete.
Go to the Pages app
on your iPhone.Open a document, then select the cells with the data you want to use to create the new table.
Touch and hold the selection until it appears to lift, then drag it to a new position in the document.
To delete the empty cells from the original table, select the empty cells, then tap Delete.
Delete a table
Go to the Pages app
on your iPhone.Open a document with a table, tap the table, tap
in its top-left corner, then tap Delete.
Copy and paste a table
Go to the Pages app
on your iPhone.Open a document with a table, tap the table, then tap
in its top-left corner.Tap Copy.
Tap once to deselect the table, tap the edge of the screen near where you want the copy to appear, then tap Paste.
The copy has the same placement setting as the original — it either moves freely or is fixed in text (set to Move with Text).
Tables only flow to the next page in word processing documents. If your table is being cut off and you’re working in a word processing document, select the table, then in the Arrange tab of the Format 
sidebar, choose Move with Text.
