How do I change the default app for a .png file

[hedera]

I tried to open a .PNG file and foolishly told Android 12 to only use Acrobat for Samsung to open that file. I want to change that; how do I do it?

Does "open with" show up if you highlight it?

 

[hedera]

Yes but only in the three dot More option at the bottom of the screen. This is a .png of my state vaccine card, and when it opens in Acrobat, the bottom entry is blocked by a prompt to create a PDF. It shows clearly when I open it with Photos.

Oh duh sorry, go to settings -> apps & notifications -> apps list. click on acrobat. Scroll down to open by default and then clear defaults.

In fact, I just solved it myself. Turns out I had 2 copies of the file, and the default "open with" for Acrobat only applied to one of them. I deleted that one and replaced the home page link with a new one to the file that would open with the Photos app, and all is solved. Thanks for encouraging me to poke around that.

Nice! Alright, no problem
