I found something that worked for me. Here’s the process:

This is a textbook file my professor emailed me.

Long press to pull up the menu, and tap get info:

Then long press on the “From [person]” button:

And remove:

I’m surprised this isn’t more discoverable, but that’s minimalist Apple for ya.

Did some digging but I finally found the way to fix it!

From Reddit:

“Agree this is annoying and triggers my OCD every time, I guess they should create a button “Don’t show again”.

But there is a hack around it, for example if you downloaded it from an email attachment:

1. ⁠Instead of downloading, long press the attachment in email app

2. ⁠Tap Copy

3. ⁠Open Files app

4. ⁠Choose a location/folder

5. ⁠Long press and Paste”

Tapping get info doesn’t change anything for me.

This "feature" blocks the QR code in the downloaded concert / bus / sports ticket that I'm trying to have scanned with a line of impatient people behind me and a ticked off person with a scanner in front of me. Has happened three times in the past 2 weeks to me. This is the dumbest feature they've added in a while.

And pjotr17 your post shouldn't have the words "seem to" in it.

I have this same problem. It makes my iPhone useless, because I need to edit files often, and ios software makes it almost impossible

Apple doesn’t seem to care. I also have this problem.

Great, this worked perfectly, thanks

Worked perfectly! Thanks!
