Files app not able to open PDFs in iCloud drive On iPhone X with the latest iOS, am not able to view PDFs via the FILES app -- pops up as an "iDrive Multimedia File" in the middle of the screen without anything that could push that further. Strange thing is my iPad Pro is similarly arranged with the same latest iOS and has no problems. PDFs there view without a hitch. Any suggestions? Please help.

Unable to view .pdf documents on my 2021 iPad mini? I am unable to view .pdf documents on my 2021 iPad mini, located on iCloud. I can see them on my MAC mini running Monterey (12.2.1) and my iPhone 8 running iOS 15.4.1 but not my iPad mini running iOS 15.4.1. I have Acrobat PDF Viewer installed on all 3 systems. What gives? Thanks, Gary

Restart your phone. There is a bug in 13.2.2 that causes this issue. Restarting fixes it temporarily. It should be fixed in 13.3.

Thank you! After reboot, I opened the files. I will wait 13.3 :)
