IPhone running Safari and embedded excel sheets

I have a excel sheet stored in SharePoint.  When I embed the excel sheet on our website, iPhones running safari see a SharePoint login and do not see the embedded sheet.  Embedded excel sheet works fine on all other laptops and androids.  If I send the problem iPhone the url of the excel file on SharePoint they can open the excel without a login.  But they can see the embedded file on a webpage without seeing a SharePoint login.  What do I need to do?

    Hi Chirs,

    Thanks for your updating.

    According to your screenshot, we did a test on our side with Safari.

    The first time when we access the test website, we need to sign in as well, when we disabled the optional Block cross-site trackingvia Setting>Safari Browser, then we can see the embed Excel file without login.

    Please have a try and share the result with us.

    Best Regards

    Higgins

    That worked.  Will this change in future?  The reason I ask is currently we are using google sheet on our website and they show without this privacy change.  I am trying to convert the whole office to using office 365 with embedded excel on our websites but I will get push back if we require all visitors to our website to make this change in their privacy setting

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for sharing your experience on this forum and we will try our best to help you.

    According to your description, generally, if you set the workbook permission to share the workbook with everyone, including people who aren’t part of your organization, once you embed this Excel file on your website by setting the SRC attribute of an <iframe> element on the web page, everyone will see the file in your SharePoint without login.

    As you need to login first when access this embed file using the Safari browser on iPhone, to narrow down this issue, please try to change another browser like Chrome to check if this issue related to a specific browser.

    Besides, could you please the detailed steps to embed an Excel file to your website when you have time?

    We can understand it could cost you some time, but it is necessary to help you more efficiently, your understanding will be highly appreciated!

    Anyway, I ‘ll continue to help you, looking forward to your reply,

    Best Regards,

    Higgins
