Question

Coding in html, how can I insert a locally saved image.

<img src="/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsAppImages/IMGname.jpg">

as copied from a file manager doesn't work.

What's the correct reference?

Thx 4 your help.

PS: the APP has access to the mobiles storage

Answer 1

for local files start the url with file://
Note: only you can view these pictures as they are stored on your device. Use an image host if you want others to be able to check it too.

<img src='file:///storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/pic.jpg'>
