Hi Maya mshenhav 

 

Thanks for explaining.

I wasn't aware about it as it states on PowerBi website as it works on Android phones and tablets as below:

"Why don't I see location tags on a report?

All three of these conditions need to be true, for you to see location tags.

  • The person who created the report in Power BI Desktop categorized geographical data for at least one column, such as City, State, or Country/Region.
  • You are in one of the locations that has data in that column.
  • You're using one of these mobile devices:
    • iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod).
    • Android phone or tablet.
    • Windows 10 phone (other Windows 10 devices such as PCs and tablets don't support geographic filtering)."

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-apps-geographic-filtering#why-dont-i-see-location-tags-on-a-report

 

I have created a user voice idea as suggested.

If anyone could vote on it, that would be great as this is a very usefull feature

    Maybe you could add the missing feature rather then amending documentation :)

     

    Thanks
