I can’t seem to find any documentation on this. Is there a limit to the number of characters that can be used in a filename and/or is there a restriction on what characters can be used in a file name saved by an iPhone app? Thanks.

The underlying filesystem is HFS+ which limits filenames to 255 UTF-16 characters. There may be additional restrictions on the filenames but I’m not aware of any.
