Mobile Pages height
Hi! I'm trying to increase the height of the mobiles pages on my report, I can't find an option to increase the height, I understand why there wouldn't be an option but why couldn't I increase the height? Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance everyone!
Hi sbermudez,
Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
The mobile layout should normally allow vertical scrolling, and you should be able to keep adding visuals down the page. If you're hitting a limit where the canvas stops expanding, this isn’t expected behavior.A few things you can try:
- Confirm you are in Mobile Layout view (View > Mobile layout) and add a small placeholder visual near the bottom. sometimes the canvas extends only when a visual is dropped below the current boundary.
- Save and reopen the report to refresh the layout and ensure you're using the latest version of Power BI Desktop, as older versions can have layout-related glitches.
Also refer to the following helpful Microsoft documentation on mobile-optimized reports:

The Power BI mobile layout uses vertical scrolling, and you can arrange the visuals vertically.
There is a limit to the canvas length to ensure loading performance, since an endless canvas may lead to adding many visuals, which can cause report loading performance issues.
Thanks,Michal

Hi,
The mobile canvas is locked to a portrait aspect ratio to approximate phone screens and this layout is designed so that the user scrolls through the visuals, so because of this height and width are not editable.
Since mobile viewer supports infinite vertical scrolling, you don’t need a taller page and you just place visuals below each other.

Hi, that's just the thing, I don't have that option of infinite vertical scrolling, I got to a point where I wasn't able to add more visuals, is there a way to manually activate the vertical height?
