Exit from a mobile report

Hi,   I'm using the Mobile App to connect to a PBI Report Server on premises.  I don't see a possibility to exit from a report. When connecting to the Service, there is a little arrow that opens a...

Thanks for asking this question Michael!

 

I can confirm that that down arrow which supposedly allows one to exit the report doesn't exist in the iPhone version of the Power BI App v24.2 when pointed at a report server. 

 

Currently, when navigating between pages within a report, it is often easiest to shut down and relaunch the app versus having to back button your way through every page you viewed in a report. Not a great user experience.

 

Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

    Ken, thank you for confirming this behaviour.

    Now I hope that someone from Microsoft will comment on this - hopefully it is seen as a bug and will be fixed ...

    By the way, there are other strange differences in the behaviour between the RS and the service usage. Most annoying besides from this navigation feature is the lack of the possibility to zoom a report. When I think back more than 10 years, zooming the screen with a two finger gesture was one of the most prominent features of smartphones without keyboards, especially the iPhone. Why is it not possible to zoom a Power BI report?

     

    Regards

      Hi Michael,

       

      I saw that the Power BI iPhone app was updated to version 24.3 two days ago (Oct 17, 2021), but unfortunately, they have still not addressed this bug. Who knows if they are even aware of the issue, as no one from the Power BI team has even acknowledge this forum post.

        Again, the Power BI iPhone app was updated (version 24.4 on Oct 31, 2021) without addressing this bug.

      Hi Michael,

       

      It looks like they addressed your pinch-zoom request in version 24.4.

        Hi Ken,

         

        a big thank you for this information! I'm not sure when I would have noticed otherwise.

         

        Regards
