User Tags containing IDs not accessible on Mobile Apps

Description

My bot speaks to server members via DM, and then posts their responses in a logging channel that only server moderators can see. The posts include the tag of the author by using <@discordid> On PC, moderators can press on the tags to view the author's discord profile and send them a DM. However, on both Iphone and Android, those tags don't work. Instead, an error incorrectly states that "This link is to a user you don't have access to." The screenshots I've included display the exact same post. When that post is viewed on PC, pressing on the tag displays the discord user's profile. When that post is viewed on mobile, the error is displayed.

Steps to Reproduce

Bot posts a message into a channel and tags a Discord User by using the <@discorduserid> format. The tagged user IS a server member, but does NOT have access to that channel. On PC, the tag can be pressed. On Mobile, the tag displays an error.

Expected Behavior

On mobile, pressing on the tag should be like pressing on any other valid tag, identical to how it functions on PC. Mobile apps should download the tagged user's profile if not already in cache and allow access (assuming the user has access to the tagged user, which they do since it works fine on PC) Or if that is not possible on the mobile apps, make a way that bots can include a display name in the tag when posting. eg. <@discordid:displayname>

Current Behavior

If the tagged user is not a member of that channel or DM group, pressing on the tag incorrectly states that you don't have permission to use that link. When in fact, you do have access, as the tag link works perfectly on PC.
