Hi,
Currently, the ntfy iOS app does not support displaying images in notifications or in the app itself when the payload includes an image URL or attachment. Adding this feature would greatly enhance the user experience by enabling quick and direct viewing of images shared via notifications, such as screenshots or photos.
@wunter8 commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2024):
The native iOS app is missing many features as compared to the web app and Android apps. However, if you use the PWA on iOS, you get all the features of the web app (including image previews) and can still get background notifications like the native app.
@apocaliss92 commented on GitHub (Dec 1, 2024):
What about self hosted? I am really trying to make the pwa to work but it's just a bookmark, I'm on iOS
On click it just redirects on the browser without notifications enabled
Nevermind my comment, found one missing step on docu https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#web-push
@blueharford commented on GitHub (Dec 12, 2024):
I thought PWA on iOS doesn't allow images in notifications. So the notifications wouldn't have them until you go in and view the list in the app?
@Isy99 commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2025):
Hello blueharford,
How to "view the list" you mentioned on iOS?
To all:
I would support the same request with the attachments. But I don't now details concerning status of PWA implementation on iOS.
By the way - the app works perfect as well on MacOS mit M processor.
@apocaliss92 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
Are preview images supposed to be shown in iOS pwa? I get the push notifications but no preview neither action buttons
@Isy99 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
On iOS I'm now using the Web version of ntfy.
Works like the app, but allows the attachments as with the Android app.
@apocaliss92 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
Do you see the attachments as preview of the notifications toast? I only get title and message
@Isy99 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
Yepp, picture e.g. is shown as with the Android app
@apocaliss92 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
I don't know, it doesn't really want to work for me... This is what I get using the Attach header

@Isy99 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
Pls see doc (in German) .

@apocaliss92 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2025):
I don't see anything I'm missing on the requests, I tried both on the public and my self-hosted one, images are just not shown :|
Thanks for the heads-up though
@thefaboss commented on GitHub (Jan 3, 2026):
Hello, I agree with ufoczek’s request.
It would be great if the ntfy app on iOS could display images and GIFs sent as attachments.
Thx a lot for ntfy :)

Replicated using Android 16 and iOS 26.2.1 (PWA and native) side to side. Android shows the image attachment, iOS doesn't
Grabbed a random image from the internet and sent a request to ntfy, including the header
Attachpointing to the image URL, with both devices subscribed to the same topic. Got this:Android (Native):

iOS (PWA and native):
