Dear Team,

I have a Canvas App, When I open its published URL on my phone on Chrome browser, it gives me the option whether to open it on PowerApps Mobile App or continue in browser, screenshot is mentioned below for reference:

Is there any way in PowerApps to enforce it to open in browser always and this screen doesn't show up for giving user the option of web view or mobile app view.

Greetings!

I'm not entirely sure this would work since I don't have a phone app in hand to test it out. But have you tried setting your phone navigator to computer mode? Most phone navigators can change the view from phone to computer, and that might be just enough to make it work without triggering that screen!

hi @AmínAA ,

If you are talking about "Force Desktop Mode" option it is for secondary displays only and not for mobile, if it is anywhere in browser, please guide where it is exactly?

Using the chrome navigator which is base one on xiaomi phones as far as I'm concerned, you find it on the top right menu:

Hopefully that would be enough for you. However, I am thinking that maybe, that screen has a different URL than the app, it could be that the base App URL directs you to that screen, and after checking if it's a phone or not, either shows you that screen or prompts you to the App. If that's the case, maybe changing the URL would work, but once again, I'm not entirely sure.

Hopefully you'll find this useful!

Just checking in if that did work for you, or if you solved it in a different way!
