Xiaomi Redmi A2+ won't play MOV videos, how to fix ?

If you are trying to play QuickTime .mov files on Xiaomi Redmi A2+, you may encounter issues one or another. That’s because .mov files don't play well on most Android devices. However, this problem can be solved via converting MOV files to Xiaomi Redmi A2+ supported MP4 format.

“Hi guys, I just changed for the Xiaomi Redmi A2+ about half a month ago and I'm very pleased with it and don't regret leaving Apple, saving for iTunes compatibility. Anyways can anyone please tell me if there's a way I could play my .mov videos taken with my old iPhone on my Xiaomi Redmi A2+? Thanks.”

Since Xiaomi Redmi A2+ does not support playback of .MOV files using its stock player, you will need to install a third party media player that supports QuickTime MOV, or process file conversion before the playback.
