Dashboard in Power BI App Does Not Auto-Refresh After Manual Dataset Refresh

[TanHY]

In Power BI Service, when I manually refresh a dataset, the dashboard updates automatically without requiring a page refresh. However, when I access the same dashboard through a Power BI App link, the data does not update automatically—I have to manually refresh the webpage (F5) to see the latest changes.

Is there a way to ensure the dashboard in the Power BI App updates automatically after a manual dataset refresh, similar to how it works in Power BI Service?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The dashboard has to be open when the semantic model refresh completes successfully.  It will not re-render in any other scenario.
