Background image in mobile report view

When viewing in iOS Power BI app, the background image in mobile report doesn't load.

 

Sometimes it works after navigating between pages or changing device orientation to view in original layout, but most of the times it's just blank and wouldn't load.

 

Any fix for this?

    The fix should be included in the next release. Please check it later (maybe after 11/30/2016).

      Hi Herbert,

      still running into the same issue with the background image on phone view.

      Of course, I did install the latest release of Power BI desktop from the January 2017 release.

      Besides I wonder why there is no customization at all at the Phone View at Power BI desktop!? 

      Any updates would be more than welcome.

      Thanks a lot,

      Walter

        No there has not, as my reports are still useless in Mobile due to this....:/ Only 2 years later lol
  • The background image just wouldn't load in mobile report.

    Even if I change only the background colour instead of setting a background image, it shows white background.

     

    Sometimes the background image appears after changing device orientation (to view original layout) or go to different pages in the report, but most of the times it is just blank.

     

    Any fix for this?

      I see the same experience on my Windows Phone. Is the background image really that important? You're going to have to live without reduced functionality on mobile devices in general.

        Hi pramod_ 

         

        We still do not support background image in the mobile view.

        One of the reasons is that the mobile background length can being change when adding additional visuals to the layout and that can cause the image to be stretched.

        If we will add background image in the future, how would you like it to behave? Stretched on all canvas length or maybe with fix size align to the top?

        For now, as a workaround you can use an image visual as a background (that option was not available 6 years ago as we overlaying visual was not an option).

         

        Thanks,

        Michal

      I embedded a picture and uploaded as my backgournd image, but the image was not rendering in the mobile view. I had to copy and paste the image as a static object for it to work.

    Hey adleh ,

     

    Can you please double check you are adding image as page background and not wallpaper?

    the app supports images as page background, but not as wallpaper.

     

    Thanks, Maya
