Use one of the many android apps that can act as MQTT publisher / subscriber
The Pi is irrelevant here.

There's a gazillion "MQTT Dashboard" apps on the Google play store (but, curiously, not the one that's installed on my phone).

For Windows I use https://mqttfx.jensd.de/ (which is written in Java so should run everywhere - except Android).

On my Android phone (S7) I use MQTT dash and point it to my mqtt server on a pi, then subscribe to various topics for display on the phone etc.
