Avoiding session timeout

Hi All

 

Has anyone figured out how to avoid session timeout for IOS or Android Powerapp?

 

I have built and app for a customer that does remote work on job sites for 6 to 8 hours. They capture data in the PowerApp, but there may be times of 3-4 hours on the job where they don't need to interact with the app. I think the 2 hour limit is being reached, when the app is idle. Is there no event handling for session timeout?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you want to avoid timeout inside an app?

    I'm afraid there's no setting about setting timeout time in powerapps currently.

    It is decided by powerapps.

    I suggest you express your views about setting timeout time on PowerApps Ideas Forum. Your precious feedback will be very helpful for our work.

    What's more, if your app has been saved before, you could turn this setting on :

     Then your app will be automatically saved every 2 minutes, which could avoid losing data.

     

     

    Best regards,
