PSA: If you don’t like the new Preview app on iOS 26, there’s an easy fix for it https://9to5mac.com/2025/10/18/ios-26-preview-app-psa/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Apple’s design team has completely lost it!

I removed the PreviewApp, but PDF Expert by Readdle hijacks all PDFs when opened, instead of using the FilesApp, as you suggested.

I’m also wary of PDF Expert due to its AI features I did not ask for, as well as the connections it makes to Facebook and other invasive trackers, every time you open the App.

@pee @9to5Mac I did not delete the app (yet). Instead, in the files app, you can long press a file, choose „open with“ and set the app to preview it with "overview“ ("Übersicht" in German). I do not understand why the Preview app is still marked as standard, because once I did that on a PDF file, all PDFs are opened/previewed in the files app.
