Public report - mobile view doesn't work?

Hi, I work for a big city in Sweden and I have multiple public reports, meaning anyone can view them. 
I have designed the pages both for desktop and mobile. But I must be missing something, the mobile view is suppose to show up automaticly if I go to the report from a mobile right? Or did I missunderstand? The report is for all citizens, and they will access the reports from the browser on their phones, but the web view is shown, not the mobile view... why? Is this not possible?

On this site it sure sounds like it should work? mobiloptimerade Power BI-rapporter - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

"When there is a mobile-optimized view for a page, it is automatically displayed when the mobile device is held. If the user wants to see the regular non-optimized view of the page that they would see on their computer, they can tip the phone on the page."

I must be missing something? 

This is the report if someone is curious 🙂

HI @jeseng,

Which method that you used to share these report contents? If you mean the "publish to web" feature, current it see not compatible with phone view.

BTW, the 'phone view' means if you design and enabled this on you report, these contents will auto switch to 'mobile layout' when you view from power bi mobile app instead of phone web browsers.

Hi Xiaoxin and thanks for your reply.

 

Yes I publish my reports with "Publish to web", is there other ways? I want my reports to be public, so that anyone can use them.

Okey, it seems that I have totaly missunderstood what the phone view is, I thought it meant that if I visitied the report from my phone this view would be shown. I can't make all viewers download a bi-app....

I will have to drop this then, thank you for time!

Regards Jessica

They doesn't acutally help, since there seems to be no solution (meaning that when viewer visiting the reports from a phone, they will never see the phone view, as I thought they could) but at least now I know that thers IS NO solution... 😉 So thank you for that!

Hi @jeseng,

In fact, they are include in the limitation list, so your requirement is more related feature request.

Perhaps you can try to submit ideas to dev team about extend the feature use ranges or add more features to unlock the part current limited.
