Description

I often receive KML/Shapefiles (compressed) through whatsapp. It would be good to have an option in the mobile to present MM app as a way of opening those files.

Ideally, it should also ask me if I want to create an MM project out of it and start surveying.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by identifying the mobile app's Android and iOS file-opening entry points and how OGR layers become projects; clarify supported compressed formats and the intended surveying flow. Done means supported KML/Shapefile files can be opened from the mobile OS and optionally converted into an MM project.
