Rendering .ipynb in github mobile

[devgomesai]

Is there a setting that should be enabled for rendering .ipynb on GitHub mobile.
Like how it renders on the GitHub web

Unfortunately, GitHub Mobile currently has limited support for rendering Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) files compared to the web version.
This is a known limitation of the mobile ap, there's no setting to enable proper notebook rendering at this time.
Current Status:
✅ GitHub Web: Fully renders .ipynb files with formatted cells, outputs, images, and interactive elements
❌ GitHub Mobile: Shows raw JSON content or provides a basic view without proper rendering

Workarounds:

1. Use GitHub Web on Mobile Browser
   Open the repository in your mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.). Request "Desktop Site" mode for better rendering. This will show the full notebook rendering like on desktop
2. Use nbviewer.org
   Share your notebooks via: https://nbviewer.org/github/{username}/{repo}/blob/{branch}/{path-to-notebook.ipynb}. This provides a mobile-friendly rendered view
3. Convert to HTML
   Run: jupyter nbconvert --to html notebook.ipynb. Include the HTML file in your repository. HTML files render properly on GitHub mobile
4. Use Google Colab or Kaggle
   Upload notebooks to Google Colab or Kaggle. Share links, these platforms have better mobile support

Feature Request:
This is a commonly requested feature. The GitHub team is aware of this limitation. You can provide feedback through the GitHub Mobile app settings or submit a feature request to GitHub Support to help prioritize this enhancement.
Hopefully, proper .ipynb rendering will be added to GitHub Mobile in future updates!

Yeah, right now the GitHub mobile app doesn’t render Jupyter notebooks it just shows the raw JSON. There’s no setting you can turn on to fix that.If you want to view it nicely, open the repo in your mobile browser instead and switch to desktop mode, or use nbviewer.org with your notebook’s GitHub URL. Both will show the proper rendered version.If that helps, mark it helpful so others know.

Unfortunately, the GitHub mobile app doesn't fully support Jupyter notebook rendering.

Quick solutions:

• Use GitHub.com in your mobile browser instead of the app - it renders notebooks properly
• Use nbviewer.org - paste your notebook URL there for perfect mobile viewing
• Convert to HTML: jupyter nbconvert --to html your_notebook.ipynb and commit the HTML file

The mobile browser option is the easiest! Hope this helps.
