Security Reminder

Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @yash

Are you just trying to view the website on your phone that you built locally? Or are you trying to edit/change it via mobile?

Just view via mobile

Hi @yash If you want to view it on mobile you’ll have to enable the Live Links feature on your Local app, and then open the Live Link URL on your mobile device and use the Privacy Mode credentials to see it.
