Open a Keynote presentation on iPhone
You can open Keynote presentations saved on your iPhone, in iCloud Drive, on connected servers, in other third-party storage providers, and on an external storage device that’s connected to your iPhone. You can open and edit Microsoft PowerPoint presentations (files with a .pptx or .ppt filename extension) in Keynote, then save them as Keynote or PowerPoint presentations.
Note: When you open a presentation saved in iCloud Drive, it’s automatically downloaded to your device.

When you open a Keynote presentation that uses fonts that you don’t have, a missing font notification appears briefly at the top of the slide. If you want to see which fonts are missing and which replacement fonts are being used, tap Show. To permanently replace those fonts in this presentation, tap Resolve Font Warnings, then tap Resolve.
Note: Some themes aren’t downloaded to your device until you choose them or open a presentation that uses one. If your connection is slow or you’re not connected to the internet when this happens, placeholder images and slide backgrounds in the presentation may appear at a lower resolution until you’re online again or the theme finishes downloading.
