Mobile application doesn't refresh report after deploy

[Gena928]

Good day,

I installed Power BI mobile application on my phone to view reports.

Then I create a report and publish it on a server. No problems.

Then I change a report, and publish it again. This time my mobile application still show me previous version of a report. I need to enter mobile app several times before it changes layout.

How can I avoid this? I need my mobile application always take latest version of a report and do not cash anything.

Thanks for advice,

Gennadiy

HI @Gena928,

>>This time my mobile application still show me previous version of a report. I need to enter mobile app several times before it changes layout.

Since power bi contains cache features, so it has long refresh interval, so you need to re-enter app to apply refresh effect.

View your data offline in the Power BI mobile apps

Background data refresh

Background refresh updates your favorite dashboards, plus dashboards and reports you've viewed in the last two weeks, with the data on the Power BI service (not the data source). If you're connected to wi-fi, background refresh updates every 2 hours. Otherwise, if you’re on a 3G network, Power BI updates the content every 24 hours.

In fact, you can manually drop down report/dashboard to apply refresh operation.
