greetings.

I have the apple files app(default) downloaded and also have a third party file manager that is documents by readdle, now whenever i download a html or txt file it downloads to my default files app but when i open it , it is opened to the mentioned third party app.
also when i tap and hold the file i want to open i can a see a list of items out of which when i select "quick look'' the file is opened in the default files app but when just tapped it opens to the other app.
till now i have experienced this thing with only file with file type .html or .txt.
is this normal?
if yes can you please explain me why is this happing.

thank you .
 

now i see it

Files trying to open in unintended apps or incompatible apps has been an ongoing intermittent issue at least since iOS 9. I have some JPG pictures that if I click on them, they want to open in a cycling logging app (which can't read them).
