What is Pages?
Pages is a native document creation app for Mac that helps people write, format, and design everything from simple text documents to visually rich page layout projects. It is part of Apple’s iWork productivity suite and is commonly used for reports, letters, resumes, flyers, newsletters, and digital books. Pages includes Apple-designed templates, text and layout tools, support for images, tables, charts, shapes, audio, and video, and review features such as comments and change tracking.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Pages is a legitimate Apple productivity app for document creation on macOS. Access to your files, iCloud Drive, or collaboration features is consistent with its purpose because it needs to open, save, sync, and share documents. As with any document editor, be careful when opening files from unknown sources and review sharing settings before collaborating on sensitive documents.
Recommendation: Keep Pages if you create, edit, review, or export documents on your Mac, especially if you use Word-compatible files or iCloud collaboration. If you never use it, removing it only affects your ability to open and work with Pages documents and related document workflows.
