Inserting Button with the Action field as a Web URL - Not Working on iPhone
Hi everyone,
I just updated a report based on the new functionality that allows a Button action to be a URL in the conditional formatting box. The URL is a link to Google Maps based on a data field in my model that concatinates an address field with the Google Maps link. When I try it in Desktop, it works perfectly. Ctrl and Click, it brings up the exact address in Google Maps. Then I publish it, and on my iPhone I try again. Nothing. The other Buttons which have bookmarks to other pages in the report work fine. When I tap the button with the URL, nothing.
Bug? Anyone else have this issue? Workaround?
Thanks! Sean

Based on my test, the button link to web can't work in power bi mobile. I would suggest you to submit your idea here to help improve power bi. As a workaround, you can create an additional column in your table and set the Data Category to "Web URL" as below:

A quick update. The most recent PowerBI updates resolved the problem both in the Apple PowerBI App. Now it works.
Thanks PowerBi Team for getting the fixed.
