Can't watch avi file which been emailed to me on iPhone

Jun 20, 2016 10:26AM PDT

Hi, I've been sent an avi file video and don't have a computer. It's been sent to my yahoo email account but when I click it just appears as a grey screen with play icon in the middle but won't open. Any ideas what I can do. Thanks

To get an AVI file played on iPhone, you can try AnyTrans that helps convert any non-iPhone supported videos to iPhone friendly format like avi, wmv, flv, mov, etc.
