i need a way to open an app(files app) in a modal in ionic similar to how WhatsApp does it, it makes the app more accessible to users with low end androids.

Not 100% clear on what you are looking for.
Something like this?
Thank you for responding. I need it to show a gallery of the files on the user’s device without leaving my app
Ok. You can also look at Capacitor File Picker Plugin - Capawesome. Hopefully some else can chime in with more knowledge on working with files.
Ive kind of already tried that, didn’t help
The behavior i get when i use
is what i want with files. When i use the method above it opens a modal so the user can select images without leaving my app, however this doesn’t work when i want a pdf.
The closest ive come is using accept=“image/*” in an input tag but when i try it with accept=“application/pdf” it goes to the default app.
