Hello, I am new to Thunkable and was looking for help to build a simple app on my iPhone SE. I want to have an app running on my iPhone that will have one button which when pressed will pull an image from my Desktop (or server) and display it on my iPhone screen along with a text message. Any idea on how to go about doing this? I would really appreciate any tip or directions to useful resources on how to build this in Thunkable. Thanks a lot for your time, Shrini ---

Just a small clarification: I have a FTP server running on my Windows 10 desktop. It has a few images and I want the iPhone app to download the image when I press a button in the app. Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your time ---

Shrini, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. If you can possibly get your images into an HTTP server rather than an FTP server then you set the ‘Picture’ property of your Image component to an ‘http’ or ‘https’ URL which points to your image. -Mark ---
