Why does my Gmail attachment Open With from Always to Just Once?

[AC Question]

Gmail attachment "Open With" from Always to Just Once

Like some others I accidently hit the "open with" Always instead of Just Once. I can't locate the setting to undo this. There are some instructions on the web, but I can't find a thread that addresses this on Android 5.1 for an LG G4 phone.

I've looked thru all the phone settings, but haven't found the right one yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

You have to know what kind of file you were dealing with when you hit Always. That will probably tell you what app is set to handle that file type. For example, if it was a .pdf file you may have assigned those to Adobe Reader.

Then you can go to:
Settings > Apps > All > Select the app > Clear defaults.

Find that email and check the attachment for the file type. Or just open the attachment and see what app it opens with.


Android since v1.0. Linux since 2001
