Can't open PDF on iPhone but can open it on Macbook

Hi,

I'm so frustrated with the mentioned issue where this is really ruining my tasks. I can't view any of my PDF files on my iCloud and am even not able to view any pdf attachment in WhatsApp. I was searching for a solution for the past two days. I did various troubleshooting methods which I saw on google but none was helpful to me.

Troubleshooting methods:

1) Remove all newly installed apps (including alibaba)

2) Sign out and sign in icloud on my phone.

3) restart my phone multiple times

4) install adobe reader and other pdf viewer apps.

5) run IOS updates (runs latest IOS 14.7.1

all my above attempts were failed, and FYI I'm using Iphone 12 pro max. Issue started on two days ago.

Hello, our firm is experiencing the same issue. Is there a resolution. We have found that iPhones with iOS version 14.2 do not have the problem, only newer versions of iOS have the issue.

I'm surpised that until now apple team couldn't rectify the issue. but it works fine on IOS 15 for me.

Try to sign out and sign in back your icloud - ensure you fully backup before u do that.

Doesn’t work on yahoo mail app but does on outlook. Perhaps an issue with the yahoo mail app instead. Anyone else have issues with yahoo mail app only?
