I am connected to a reporting server with the mobile app on my tablet. However, when I try to view reports online they appear as the desktop version instead of the mobile layout I am trying to test. Is it possible to view mobile layouts from a tablet? The same report opened from an iPhone shows the intended mobile layout.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Power bi mobile app does not auto display mobile layout, you need to design them on desktop side:
Optimize reports for the Power BI mobile apps
BTW, phone layout seems only enabled on vertical mode; if you open with horizontal mode, these contents did not show as phone layout.

Thanks for the reply but this did not solve my problem. The report had been designed as a mobile report from the desktop application and opening from my tablet did not recognize the mobile layout. A new release for the Power BI app was released since making this post and it appears to have solved the problem for whatever reason.
Check out the November 2025 Power BI update to learn about new features.
