How can I play an mp3 on an iPhone 7 (iOS 14) without installing a third party mp3 player?

iTunes would seem like the obvious answer… why not that?– TetsujinCommented May 8, 2021 at 16:32

Can you be more specific? I use the Music.app in 14.5, and all I have are .mp3– red_menaceCommented May 8, 2021 at 16:35

@Tetsujin I think iTunes doesn't exist for iOS 14, I have only iTunes Store and Music, and I can't choose "Open with.." for eiher of them– user150109Commented May 8, 2021 at 16:36

@red_menace how do you open the mp3 in Music?– user150109Commented May 8, 2021 at 16:36

2Where is this mp3? [btw 'iTunes' == 'Music'] <rant>Why anyone would rename one of the most recognisable app names on the planet to something as non-unique as 'Music' beggars belief.</rant>– TetsujinCommented May 8, 2021 at 16:39

It can be played from inside of the Files app

1I just manually manage my music, drag-and-drop from the Finder, and they show up in Music. Commented May 8, 2021 at 16:42

@red_menace you're clearly on macOS, this quesiton is for an iPhone– user150109Commented May 8, 2021 at 16:44

I understand that, and am talking about an iPhone. I just mentioned how I put the .mp3 music files on my phone so that they show up in the Music.app, without having to use anything else such as Files. Commented May 8, 2021 at 17:34
