Introduction


In this blog, we’ll look at how to clear cache in Canvas Apps when using the Power Apps mobile application, especially when the app behaves inconsistently.

Issue Faced


The app works perfectly in browsers like Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
However, when running the same app on mobile:

  • Sometimes it works

  • Sometimes it doesn’t reflect recent changes

Troubleshooting Attempts


I tried the following steps:

  • Created a new app → worked fine

  • Tested in browser → worked fine

  • Tested in mobile/tablet mode → worked fine

After making changes to the app:

  • Browser version → worked fine

  • Mobile version → did not reflect updates

I also tried clearing cache from mobile device settings, but that did not resolve the issue.

Solution (Fix)


The issue was resolved by clearing cache directly inside the Power Apps mobile application:

  1. Open the Power Apps mobile app

  2. Log in to your account

  3. Tap your profile picture (top-left corner)

  4. You will find a “Clear Cache” option

  5. Tap it and confirm

Conclusion
Clearing cache from within the Power Apps mobile app ensures that the latest version of your Canvas App loads correctly and resolves inconsistent behavior.
