Make VLC default video player on iPad

Running iOS 15.1 on iPad Mini. I keep trying, but do not understand how to use VLC player to play movies on my iPad. Not just use it, but make it the default player. The existing default player is very unsatisfactory.

Thanks!

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 15

Hello georgiabyte,


Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities!

We understand you want to change the default video player to the VLC app on your iPad mini.


There isn't a direct option to set the default video player on iOS.

We welcome and encourage you to submit this feedback and any other feature requests here: Product Feedback - Apple


You might reach out to VLC support to see if there is a similar setting from within the app.

This link can help you learn more about using the Photos app, if you'd like: View photos and videos in the Photos app on iPad - Apple Support

We hope this helps

Cheers!
