Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

WhatsApp can deliver receipts, reports, exported pages, and AI-generated HTML attachments. iOS receives the file, but a readable rendered preview is not always the default.

The shortest answer

Install Html Preview, open the file from Files, the Share Sheet, or the source app, and preview it locally. The app has no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.

The WhatsApp workflow

Open the WhatsApp attachment, share or save it to Files, choose Html Preview, and render the HTML locally on your device.

What to check before opening

If the sender shares a zip or asset folder with the HTML, keep those files together before previewing.

Why local preview fits this job

Html Preview is focused on file preview. It avoids uploads, account setup, ad clutter, and heavy editing features when the user simply needs to read an HTML file now.

If you also receive Markdown files

AI and document workflows often produce both HTML and Markdown. Md Preview is the companion viewer for that file type.
