Info Button Mobile Layout

Is there a way the info button can be used in the Mobile layout (Show text once you click on it)?

Hello @milanc96 ,

Bookmark is working on mobile layout. For example when ı click on Button text that card is not shown. When I click Button back the card is shown.

Considerations and limitations(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-create-mobile-optimized-report-mo...)
Tooltips are disabled on the mobile layout canvas; they're available when viewing in the mobile app, however.
Metric visuals aren't interactive on the mobile layout canvas.
Slicer selections made on the mobile layout canvas don't carry over when you switch to web layout. Also, when you switch back from web layout to mobile layout, any slicer selections will come from the web layout. Likewise, when the report is published, any slicer selections will be those that were defined in web layout, regardless of whether the report is being viewed in the regular desktop-view or a mobile-optimized view.

Is there any way to show text when clicking/hovering on the info button?

Hello @milanc96 ,

Unfortunally tooltip is not supported in mobile layout. But you can use bookmark. when you click the button it shows the card or the text as I gave the example first comment.

Hi @uzuntasgokberk ,

 

Thanks for your help. 

No offense, please allow the mistake to be corrected. Tooltip can be used in mobile apps and can be triggered by a long press of your finger. I've tried both non-mobile app layout and mobile app layout reports on my phone, and both show tooltips. So here, the tooltip is one of the good workarounds for @milanc96 .

Hello @Anonymous ,

Accurate information is always crucial. Thanks for comment. However, when I tested it on my phone, the tooltip still did not appear and based on  Microsoft’s documentation.

There seems to be no issue on web browsers, even when a mobile layout is created that supports tooltips. However, the behavior on phones appears to be different.

Therefore, the information I shared is based on my experience and Microsoft’s official documentation.
