Mobile slicer frustration

We've got a report that is geared toward mobile consumption.  The first page has several slicers that allow a user to set scope for the rest of the pages in the report.  On both iOS and Android, you first have to tap on the slicer to set focus on that slicer before you can select a value...so you end up having to tap each slicer twice to make a selection.

 

Is there any way to change this behavior?  It's not intuitive for users to have to tap the individual slicers twice to make their selections.

 

Thanks!

The initial tap to focus is the behavior of all visuals in the mobile app, not only slicers. Even when you use the dedicated Phone Layout instead of the default page layout, it still requires the initial tap. No current way to change that behavior.

Hi
Quick update
Enabling single tap interaction with report visuals
We changed report interaction so it will require only one tap on a visual, button, or slicer to interact with its data right away. Users will no longer need to tap on a visual to select it and to tap again to interact with it, a single tap will do them both.

Please use latest version on iOS and Android

Thanks
