How to Play OGG on iPhone Easily with Simple Steps

by Kayla Morrison • 2023-06-01 14:01:14 • Proven solutions

Are you facing difficulties trying to open OGG on iPhone? This page is for you! While OGG and MP3 are strikingly similar, the former offers better sound quality and smaller size at equal bitrates. But unfortunately, iOS and OGG are not compatible. So, what next? Read on to learn some quick solutions!

Part 1. Does iPhone Play OGG Files

As I’ve said initially, all iPhones and iPads don’t support the OGG file format. You can only play select music formats such as AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, and Apple Lossless on the iPhone. Fortunately, many OGG converters on the App Store can help you convert OGG to iPhone-supported formats. Even better, you can install an OGG player for iPhone if you find the conversion process too tedious. So, by the end of this post, you should know how to convert and play OGG on iPhone effortlessly.

Part 2. How to Play OGG on iPhone with Wondershare UniConverter

Instead of downloading those ad-infested and limited OGG converters on App Store, I suggest installing Wondershare UniConverter. With this desktop app, you can convert OGG to any iPhone-supported format. Not only that, but you can also alter sound files by cutting, merging, compressing, adjusting the volume, changing the bitrate, and more. Plus, you can use the “Transfer” function to export OGG from your Windows/Mac computer to iPhone, Android, flash drives, etc.
