How to play videos in Files app (Hey Apple, that's stupid)

Update: Seems like this is no longer a problem.

I cam play videos off a connected hard drive with quicklook in the files app, but when copied to the ipad pro 2018 the files app then won't play them, I then move them to the GoodReader app and they play no prob, GoodReader is so much better than Apple's files app it's silly.

Is this where I go for all my other questions?

i am on my 1st day of using iphone 15 plus and I already hate it.

This shitty problem still exists.

In android, there was a player called "mx player ". It sorted all the video files and showed in separate folders as it was placed on files.

Does ios have anything like that?

Also, ios doesn't import pictures automatically on gallery. i've to manually select all the pictures from all the folders and then import them, and then again label them inside gallery app.

i don't know what the fuck is wrong with mf ios. On android , doesn't matter how u saved an image, it automatically popped up in gallery.

i love you so much thank you i just wanted to send a video from my chromebook to my dad ☹️☹️

i just bought iphone 15 pro max with 1 tb to watch video files and was amazed of apple's idiocy.

Hey guys, if you have to go online to re-download a video on Files (pretty stupid), then I got a tip for you. Now you gotta have Wi-Fi to do this:

On the bottom left, there should be a square with an arrow pointing up from it. You can send it to your Notes app (yes, you can import mp4 to it). Keep in mind you’ll need to make a new note to paste your videos in, so maybe the title of the video or name of an offline “playlist” would help. (You can also import images too btw, don’t know how to do it on Mac though…)

A second option would be to press and hold on the video from the menu, and a drop-down menu reveals itself. You can simply tap Copy, go to Notes, then make a new note and Paste.

Hope this helps!

thanks

How do you loop the videos?

Nope didn’t work

Heyyy…how van we edit such videos in ipad…. .mov format videos are not only difficult to play…but also difficult to edit

lol when u said “apple… that’s stupid…” i felt the disappointment 😂

Thanks i can now watch the new puss in boots movie

Thank you this really helped me. But please don’t use the word retarded. I agree that it is stupid of Apple to make us do this but that word is offensive.

Thanks a lot bro

My nibba ❤❤❤❤

The fact they make it so hard is so fucking ridiculous

Doesn’t even work for me. When I share it to documents it brings me to the app and nothing happens 😂 I love apple devices!

😂😂😂 u fixed my problem and made me laugh.

I love you my two days hard work u finished in just under 1 minute if I was bill gates I would give you millions
