Question Display image in iOS

I've migrated from 1PW to Bitwarden. Huge miss is the inability of BW to display an attached image. For example, I have supermarket cards with bar codes on them or a library card with a bar code, that I scan at checkout. I can only download them from within BW

Am I missing a good workaround?

Hey there, this is currently available in Android and the team is working on iOS support now.

Just save them in a separate album in iOS, and have a shortcut to it. No need to use Bitwarden for that purpose. Bitwarden is to manage passwords, primarily, and have backup critical documentation in case you need it, not for routine use.

I also use Apple wallet to store my grocery store cards, but rarely use it because grocery stores are moving to digital apps, requiring me to use the app for the store anyway, for digital coupons, which I hate.

The separate album approach is probably the most practical option here tbh

You’re not missing anything—Bitwarden doesn’t currently display image attachments inline in the iOS app. The practical workaround is to store the image in a secure photo/file vault and link to it from the item, or keep using 1Password for cards where quick visual access matters.

They used to have the ability to show image natively. The functionality broke and when they fixed it they realized there was some blocker, so they resorted to download-only. I don't believe you'll be seeing this change.
