Power BI mobile optimized reports now generally available for phones

Posted in:

Microsoft has announced that Power BI mobile phone reports are now generally available. With this new release, Power BI Desktop users can now tailor a portrait view of their existing report for mobile users, but the company has also brought several improvements to both authoring and exploring phone reports:

  • It’s now possible to scroll on phone reports to see all data, which will also allow users to add more visualizations to their reports.
  • Microsoft has also added a new icon to identify phone reports, which will only appear after republishing a report that has been optimized for mobile.
  • iOS and Android users can now use a pull to refresh gesture to update a report with the latest data, while a refresh button has been added for Windows 10 Mobile
  • iOS and Android users can also Share and annotate phone reports and visualizations right from the Power BI app
