Why this HTML workflow breaks on iOS

HTML reports, receipts, and saved pages often arrive through chat apps. iOS may treat them as attachments instead of readable pages.

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 WeChat and WhatsApp workflow

Open the attachment, use Share or Save to Files, choose Html Preview, and preview the HTML file locally.

What to check before opening

For sensitive files from chat apps, local preview avoids sending the document to a third-party web converter.

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.
