However, there are quite a few limitations and drawbacks when it comes to using Power BI reports on mobiles. They include:
1. Limited Custom Interactions Offered- The mobile application of Power BI is much lighter. Therefore, certain interactions, such as drill-through parts or custom visualizations, function better than such self-same features would on desktop or laptop computers. For instance, the way users touch to activate parts of the application can sometimes restrict precision or functionality when compared to being able to click or mouse around with precision.
2. The Special Constraints for Custom Visual and Layouted Reports: Many reports require a larger screen real estate to be usable on desktop views. They have additional complications, making the traffic adaptation or any mobile-optimized layout only partially out of the scope for all features or custom visuals to apply toward the display size. Therefore, the report may need some usability fixing.
3. Limited Feature Support: More advanced features-based paginated reports from Power BI may not get rendered at all or properly in the mobile application. Due to platform limitations, custom scripts or embedded analytics might not be supported through the application.
Your mobilized report needs to be well-tested across a myriad of devices to ensure that this limitation or other performance-related issues do not cause any ill effects.
