Sometimes when you download an app file from a website/ WhatsApp/ FB messenger or some unknown file then your mobile says this error mostly.
This error pop-ups mostly when your device will not have any proper app/ software to execute and open that file. Mostly this error comes while opening PDF, Excel, Xlsx, Docs, Docx Contacts, Zip, etc files.
There may be several reasons behind these issues:
- The file you are trying to open may not be a supported file type. Check to make sure that you have an app installed on your device that can open the file.
- The app you are using to try and open the file may not support the file type. Try using a different app to open the file.
- There may be an issue with the app you are using to open the file. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that resolves the issue.
- There may be a problem with the file itself. Try opening the file on a different device to see if it opens properly. If it doesn’t, the file may be corrupt or damaged.
I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
