Disable "Open in App" Option on Mobile device

[letmesigninplea]

Hi,

I would like to bypass the window on a mobile devices that asks if you want to open the App in Power Apps, instead I want it to go straight to the browser version. Is there a way to bypass this pop up menu?

Kind Regards

Hi @letmesigninplea ,

This is more to do with the device than Power Apps. If you uninstall the App, you will of course fix it, but why do you want to open in a browser (the app performs much better)

Hi,

I don't have power apps installed on my device but still get a prompt to "open in app" which takes me to the app market place to install it. 

Yes it performs much better on mobile devices, but the client I work with has a BYOD policy which does not force users to install Apps. As the "open in browser" text is quite small on the redirect window and not very obvious on small device we find that it is not a very intuitive design feature so hope to turn it off!

Thanks

Hi @letmesigninplea ,

The company I do most of my work for has many BYOD devices, but there has been extremely high adoption as the app provides them with control over their work information. Also note that apps run in browsers in mobile devices generally are problematic to say the least. But back to your question - this is nothing to do with Power Apps, but rather the device being "smart" knowing there is a better way of running it.

Also would like a way to disable it as we would like to share devices and in app login credentials are saved in settings and next user can just login using others email address.

That is in breach of your Microsoft Licensing unless the other users also have Office365 licences.
