Open Word (.doc) document on iPhone 6S

I am running IOS 13.3.1 and it appears that I no longer have the ability to open MS-Word documents (.doc) on my iPhone 6S. How do I rectify this problem? I am able to open MS-Excel files.

Hello MDiPhone,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you want to open Word documents on the iPhone. I'll happily explain what you can do to open those files.


You would need a compatible app to open them with installed on the iPhone. You can use Pages: Convert Pages documents to PDF, Microsoft Word, and more


If you prefer a different app, you can download one from the App Store: Download apps and games from the App Store


If you meant you're having issues with an app installed that you used previously, try the steps mentioned here: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open


Thanks.
