Poor image quality on iPhone

When I preview my @9671927 XD file on iPhone the image quality is very poor - it's so poor I cannot share.

This is how a flat PNG on XD looks on iPhone - too pixelated

    How are you "previewing"? Are you using the XD mobile app, or opening a 1x PNG? If you're opening a PNG, then of course a 1x PNG will be pixelated. You'd need a 2x PNG to see a sharper version.

    I'm viewing via iPhone XD app and also web preview. I get that @x1 image will never be perfectly sharp on iPhone but still the quality can/should be much better. This is how the same @x1 PNG looks through iPhone Photos app:

    The picture is not sharp of course but not pixelated like the one through XD.  I guess the image interpolation XD is using is causing this?

    Can you try using a 2X PNG and let us know your observations?

    Thanks,
