VLC might play that .mp4 but honestly it’s hostile UX like this that my parents and family can’t navigate alone or rob us of our time together troubleshooting google apps/Android OS because some goog product org somewhere is doing god knows what to increase engagement metrics in their apps and justify their promotion/bonus to tweak things that break goog apps for end users not using flagship latest-gen Pixel phones.

This is why I switched to iPhone/apple products and never looked back, and I say that as a former Android fanboy who started with the G1 and flashed custom roms and participated in XDA forums for years to make our Android phones make sense to us UX/UI wise.

iOS simply solves 95% of all the issues I had when using Android, while respecting my settings as configured and upholding my privacy. Good riddance Android/Google, never again.
