Excel files not opening on iPhone (iOS) and then suddenly on iPad too I cannot open excel files on my what’s app or mail app. I have tried with fully licensed versions of excel and the problem persists. The excel app does open excel files on the cloud but none that are natively sitting in the files app on iPhone/ipad. If I try forward the file it keeps saying that’s it is a “Viber Message Document”. I then deleted Viber and still my iPhone cannot open any excel file and now just says “data” Suddenly my connected iPad Pro cannot open any excel files on the mail app where What’s app or Viber have never been installed on that device. This too, just says “data” when clicking on the excel file. This file and many other excel files have been sent to friends and colleagues with iPhones (through What’s app and mail) and iPads (through mail) and these files open seamlessly on their devices as they once did on my iPhone. When re-installing Viber again it labels it as a “Viber Message Document”. I feel its almost as if Viber has somehow changed the way my iOS reads a file sent that is excel type ( Through What’s App or Mail or any other app that might be able to read that type of file). Apples Numbers cannot open the file either on the files app. I have tried to forward the file as suggested by another user but again there has been no solution, Please assist?

Xlxs files not recognised bi iPhone Can’t open excel .xlxs files on iPhone . Can open via outlook then excel. But not via Mail app and if I save to Files app, it gets stored as a document, not an Xlxs file. iOS then doesn’t know what to do with it I can resend it to myself via files app, mail app says it’s a document. Outlook will open via Excel app All working till few days ago, don’t know what happened, other than I’ve done something whilst phone was in pocket
