    I'm starting to look at mobile view versions of our Power BI reports.


    The first thing that strikes me immediately is that it is not possible to set the view in Power BI Desktop to landscape when developing a "mobile view" version of an existing report.


    Almost all reports are developed on a PC, for being consumed on a PC, which normally has the monitor set in "landscape mode" (at least 100% of laptops do), hence the reports tend to be utilizing the width of a pc monitor.



    Am I missing something, or isn't it time to enable developing specifically for landscape mode in Power BI Desktop?

    We are trying to use mobile optimized option with the App on a Tablet (iPad).I was surprised to see it only works in portrait mode. When switching to landscape (which is the most common way people are using a tablet) it switches to the non-optimized/regular view.I understand this is how it works right now. But it's just a big miss for mobile. For an iPhone it would be ok, but still switching to landscape also goes out of mobile view. But for a tablet it's not doable, it's just useless.There must be some development on its way right? This seem very limititive to us.Is there another idea on this somewhere? Impossible there are only 2 votes on this, including myself!Have a good day
