No DWG preview in Android app

Hi @ All,

according to the following article DWG preview should be available in Teams:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/file-types-supported-for-previewing-files-in-onedrive-sharepoint-and-teams-e054cd0f-8ef2-4ccb-937e-26e37419c5e4

We're currrently creating a demo solution for a customer where DWG files play a major role, but as it seems the preview features is not supported by the Android app, or am I missing something?

Setup & steps:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Android 10
MS Teams App Version 1416

SharePoint folder with 3 files (PDF, DWG & FBX file)
Open the folder in the Android Teams app
Click on the files to see the preview
PDF and even FBX (3D model) show a correct preview
Clicking the DWG shows a prompt to open it in a browser which ends in a download of the file

Is the DWG preview not supported, is this a bug, or is it due to wrong settings?

Thanks in advance
