Question for iPhone users... (No Poo - Serious question please)

If I put a video file on my server and the link is myserver.com/video.mkv and I click on that link on my android, it asks me do I want to use chrome, or my video player. If I click video player the video file starts playing as expected.

Does it work the same on an iPhone as it does for me, or does the iPhone user need to download VLC first? (Something about apple not playing nice with .mkv files by default)

Just to add, this is a personal file, with the link just being sent to one single person (family Member) who has an iPhone. I wanted to check first before I send the link, as its kinda birthday surprise message, and I hope that it will work first time like on my galaxy and not turn into a huge fuck around.

If I need her to d/l VLC first, that's fine, I can have her do that, but I don't wanna make her do it if not needed, and likewise wanna have her view the file with as little messing about as possible

Thanks in advance
