I thought they added that capability for Apps but I could be mistaken.

    Yes, I confirmed, in an App you can specify a Section for an App element like a report.

      Ok. But can I separate out pages from that report to specific categories?

        You could do one thing-
        1. Shift all the pages to be grouped into a separate dashboard. It would be visible as a separate group on the navigation of the app under the name of that dashboard.

        2. To avoid uploading the same dataset for each of those dashboards (as the dataset will be common for the 2 dashboards ("Other fruits" and "Types of Apple"), you could publish the first dashboard and use its data (through Get data option using the Power BI dataset connector) for the other dashboard. 


        By chance, if you have drill through to the pages separated out into a new dashboard using Cross Report Filtering. You can refer to this link for implementing Cross Report Filtering.

         

        I agree this might be a very crude way of doing it, but until the functionality is added in Power BI, this is the way to go, I believe. I have personally tried it for my organization.
