iPhone Suddenly unable to view PDF attachments in mail app

[felixen]

Hi everyone,

All of the sudden I am unable to view pdf files attached in emails within the mail app. I used to be able to just tap an attachment and it would open in a quick view sort of thing.

But now when I tap it, I just get the option to choose how to open it. I can save it to Books and view it there, but it’s a hassle to do that with PDFs I just need to glance.

Also, if I tap the attachment and select the Quick Look option, it just says the file is zero bytes and nothing happens.

Super odd. This happens with all pdf attachments now. Any clues?

PDF Email Attachments No Longer Viewable in iOS 13.1?

I'm running 13.1, and noticed that pdf file attachments are popping the share sheet, rather than opening a preview of the PDF. Is anyone else having this issue?

Thank you. So solution is to delete the Alibaba app. I can confirm that worker. Huh, that’s pretty weird
