Is it possible to access tags from my iPhone?

I have tags on various files created on my MacBook and need to see these tags when accessing the files on my iPhone. I need these tags for quick reference to see what invoices are still outstanding when visiting clients. However when I view the files on both the iOS Dropbox app and the Files app on my iPhone the tags aren't visible.  Is there a setting or view option to make the tags visible on my iPhone, on either the  iOS Dropbox app directly or the Files app? I can't seem to find it anywhere?

    Tags are not visible on the mobile apps I'm afraid. 

    In fact they only work on the Mac you created them on.
