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

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 18

I had a problem like this on an Ipad and what was causing this problem was the "whereby" application
We uninstalled it and it started working again.
