Currently, you can only customize the LAYOUT of the report objects you have created on the MOBILE, organizing the order they will appear on a mobile phone screen.

Most of the time they look BETTER in the original landscape preview than on this MOBILE layout, simply because its very difficult to find a good balance between optimal font size for desktop layout and mobile layout. What looks good in one, usuallly is too much or too little in the other.

Bottonline, we need to be able to have FULL CONTROL of all the design features also for the MOBILE Layout, making them independent from each other.

It would be beneficial to edit text and colours for the mobile view. With the fixed grid in place it is hard to get your tiles in the right position with the right Font size. Maybe make the grid more refined.

Also to edit the colours of graphs and font size on the axis would be nice.

in short: add customization for mobile view editor

Seen a lot of ideas from the past so hope this will get enough votes so the developers will read this.

There was a great workaround for this until about a week ago. If you created a grouping for your Phone visuals and hid the grouping without hiding the individual visuals, they were available to add to the Phone layout. They didn't need to be loaded or displayed at all in the desktop layout.

As of last week these visuals no longer display in the phone layout. It would be great if this could be changed back.

Would be lovely to disable snap to grid feature as well. Also would be nice to be able to overlay visuals.

set the possibility to load an image as background on power BI mobile, maybe when you switch into desktop view version the background changes.

RE: Independent and FULL control for MOBILE VERSION of report

this is a very pertinent requirement and should be available, as phone layout and desktop have different consumer bases.

From a graphic designer standpoint, the mobile app does not have many options for layout. I would suggest adding in an element like "Page Background" tab to aid in organization of data.

Desktop and mobile landing page for reports are the same. It would be great if you can set different landing page for each view.

Would be great if the wallpaper option could be visible also for mobile devices, for both landscape and portrait view. Potentially an option to switch it on/off?

RE: Independent and FULL control for MOBILE VERSION of report

I'd like to (manually) change the size of the phone view in PBI reports. Especially the length of the phone view is too restrictive. When you have many visuals of a report tab, it's very difficult to place them properly on the current phone view.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Independent and FULL control for MOBILE VERSION of report

I do agreed on this. There should be different setting available where we can setup different background for phone view, because when we setup background color for desktop then image is stretching in Mobile view.
