If I use this as an URL to display, for example

Board 4

It displays on a computer but not on an iPhone.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, not seeing a screenshot, did you mean to include one?

Are you able to share the URL as an example? Feel free to remove anything confidential.

I went to the Community Server, and in Off-Topic made a post with a PNG picture, the link is Mattermost, this post includes a picture with the file ID 8uuy9355utdzbbuyrqyfdczw5y, this PNG display fine on both browser just fine. Then I created a post with this in the text box

![Test2](https://community.mattermost.com/api/v4/files/8uuy9355utdzbbuyrqyfdczw5y/preview)

Dear all:

I just read the documentation again and concluded that the best and correct way to handle this is via a public link.

Please excuse my mistake and lack of knowledge in asking this FAQ question.

May I ask whether there is a way to display a different file based on whether the client is on an iphone/android or a normal sized screen?
