Notifications bring information related to your Power BI experience right to you, in the Power BI service or on your mobile device. When you open Notifications, you see a sequential feed of messages about alerts you've set and new dashboards that have been shared with you.
Note
On an iOS device, the first time you sign in to the updated version of the Power BI apps, you see a message asking if you'd like Power BI to send notifications. You can also configure how Power BI notifies you in Settings for your device.
View notifications on your mobile device
When you receive notifications on your mobile device, by default Power BI makes a sound and shows a notification banner.
You can change how Power BI notifies you.
If you've received notifications, when you sign in to Power BI on your mobile device you see a yellow dot on the notification bell icon (iOS and Android) or on the global navigation button (Windows devices).
To see notifications in the Notification center, tap the notifications bell (iOS and Android) or the Notifications center icon (Windows devices).
Notifications are displayed with the most recent on top and unread messages highlighted. Notifications are retained for 90 days unless you delete them or reach the maximum limit of 100.
To dismiss a notification on iOS and Android devices, tap, hold, and swipe. On Windows devices, right click and choose Dismiss.
