Why Can’t I Play MKV Files on iPad?

The reason why you can’t play MKV files on iPad is because iOS does not support MKV. The supported video formats on iOS devices include M-JPEG, MPEG-4, M4V, MOV, and MP4. Both MP4 and M4V share many similarities with MKV.

Apple specifically developed the M4V format as its official file format for videos. It is a replacement for MKV as MKV format is not supported on any iOS devices.

But even if you have M4V, MKV is a widely used format and you will have to play it on your iOS devices at some point in your life. For such cases, you can always convert and send an MKV file to your iOS devices using WALTR PRO, without compromising on the video quality.
