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:
Open the Power Apps mobile app
Log in to your account
Tap your profile picture (top-left corner)
You will find a “Clear Cache” option
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.
