📧 open Outlook MSG on iPhone
iPhone has no built-in support for .msg files — they're a Microsoft Outlook format that iOS simply doesn't know how to open. Converting the .msg to a PDF is the quickest way to read the email and any embedded text on your phone.

About .msg to PDF conversion
Can I open a .msg file directly on my iPhone without converting it?
Not without a third-party app. iOS has no native handler for .msg files. Apps like Microsoft Outlook for iOS can open .msg attachments if you receive them through Outlook, but if you just have a loose .msg file in Files or received it via AirDrop, even Outlook won't open it that way. Converting to PDF sidesteps the problem entirely.
What do I lose when I convert a .msg to PDF?
You keep the email body, headers (From, To, Subject, Date), and any inline images. You lose the ability to reply or forward as an email, and file attachments embedded inside the .msg are not extracted into the PDF — you would see a reference to them but not the files themselves. If the .msg contains important attachments, you'll need to extract those separately on a desktop.
How do I get the .msg file to OpenAny from my iPhone?
Open OpenAny.io in Safari, tap the upload area, and choose the .msg file from the Files app or from an email attachment you've saved locally. The conversion runs in your browser, the PDF is ready in seconds, and the file is deleted from the server within 60 seconds. You can then open the PDF in any iPhone app, including Books, Files, or Preview.
