Hello !

 

Your custom visual applies filters only when the visual actually renders. If it isn’t placed on the report mobile layout, it won’t run so no filters get applied and this lines up with Microsoft guidance that URL based filtering doesn’t work when links jump into the mobile app and it only works in a mobile browser.

 


In PBI desktop, go to mobile layout then drag your QueryParameterFilter visual onto the canvas and make it tiny and the publish again.

    Unfortunately, this is not correct. Mobile layouts only load on the PowerBI app. They do not load on Publish-to-web reports that are viewed on a normal mobile browser; which is the method I need to function.
