Hi,

I wonder if I'm missing something here, I have read everywhere that iPhone 7 should play FLAC music with the Files app on iOS 11, but in my case it doesn't.
If the file is inside a folder of a media player, like nPlayer, it will open the app to play it (I guess it is the expected behavior).
But even if I put the file in iCloud Drive, it will simply show a gray screen saying "FLAC Audio" and not play the file.
When I saved the FLAC file to the Notes app, there is play button inside the note which will play the FLAC file.
I heard this workaround was only needed for iPad, but my iPhone 7 should already support FLAC on Files app, am I missing something?
 
Same here with me. iPhone 8, iOS 11. I put a FLAC file in the iCloud drive, it shows up in my Files folder, but when I try to play it I just get a grey screen "FLAC Audio".

Anyone have success?
