Description

On the OpenClaw Android app (tested on Pixel 8a), two related UI issues make the chat experience harder to read:

1. Markdown not rendered

Messages appear as raw Markdown text instead of formatted output. Headings, bold, lists, code blocks, and links all display as plain text. This makes longer messages especially hard to parse on mobile.

2. Chat messages don't fill available width

Message bubbles take up only a narrow portion of the screen width, leaving large empty margins on both sides. This wastes screen space on what is already a small mobile viewport and makes messages harder to read — especially code blocks and tables.

Environment

  • Device: Pixel 8a
  • App: OpenClaw Android

Expected behaviour

  • Markdown in assistant messages should render (headings, bold, italic, lists, links, code blocks)
  • Chat messages should use the full available width with reasonable padding

Actual behaviour

  • Markdown is displayed as raw text
  • Messages are confined to a narrow column, roughly 60-70% of screen width
