The Files app conundrum in iOS 26 has been solved (for real this time).

I jumped the gun and didn’t tinker around hard enough yesterday, but you can get the default, Quick Look view back as your default in the Files app:

1. Tap and hold on any file type in Files.

2. Select “Open With.”

3. Select “Preview with Quick Look.”

This will immediately make all files with that extension open with Quick Look by default.
