Report custom visual filter not working when report is viewed on mobile

I am using a custom visual (https://github.com/orihuela-iom/powerbi-public-query-parameters) to publish-to-web report using URL parameters. The report and the filter work fine when viewed on a browser on a desktop, however when you view the same report on a phone, the filter doesn't work. It did work up until 10/30/2025 but then it stopped all of a sudden. 

 

Any ideas why and how I might make it work again?

    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.
