How to Convert and Watch WMV Files on iPhone X/8/7/7 Plus/6s/6

Want to convert WMV to iPhone supported format? Well, I’ve got you! Arguably, the iPhone is the most popular smartphone currently. From its sleek design and substantial internal memory to its powerful cameras and high-resolution screen display, the iPhone has it all. However, the iPhone plays MPEG-4 and with AAC audio in either M4V, MOV, or MP4 formats. It also records videos in and in MOV format. So if you have files that are not iPhone-supported such as WMV, you must get an WMV to iPhone converter.

If you’re having trouble opening some video clips on your iPhone, then you’re not alone. That’s because the iPhone is quite selective on the kind video formats it supports. Some supported iPhone video formats include MP4, MOV (Apple QuickTime), and M4V. These formats have video codec and AAC audio codec. Main audio formats are, however, limited to two options which are AAC and MP3. Although these formats will cover what you’re likely to play on your iPhone, there might be some exceptions. Other standard formats such as FLV, AVI, and WMV will need conversion first.

Below are some of the reasons why your iPhone might refuse to open some video formats:

• Can’t play Windows media files such as WMV, AVI, MPG, ASF, etc.
• Can’t play imported camcorder videos that come in DV, MOD, TOD, MTS, AVCHD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, etc.
• Failed to open FLV videos downloaded from file sharing sites like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
• When the iPhone fails to properly sync MP4, M4V, or MOV files from iTunes.

To enjoy playing your WMV videos on iPhone, converting them to an iPhone-supported format is inevitable. In that case, a professional desktop converter will come in handy. However, finding the right app is no joke. That’s because the internet has hundreds if not thousands of these programs. Therefore, I recommend UniConverter (Originally UniConverter) to convert WMV file to iPhone hassle-free. Even better, this tool can convert WMV files to some device-specific formats, including iPhone X, XS, XS Max, 8 Plus, 8, etc. Let’s not forget that this tool also has a video editor for customizing and personalizing your WMV files before conversion to iPhone.

However, this site is ad-laden plus it offers free conversion of up to 100MB. But honestly, this’s an excellent free online tool if you have short video clips.
