I'm developping a Dash app with a 3D plot (dcc.Graph + plotly.graph_objs) that includes interactive features like cube overlays and filtering. The 3D scene works well on desktop — but on mobile (Android & iOS), the camera resets every time the graph updates, even when uirevision="lock" is set. Here’s how I build the layout: layout = go.Layout( scene=dict( xaxis=dict(title='Conductivity'), yaxis=dict(title='Temperature'), zaxis=dict(title='pH'), ), margin=dict(l=0, r=0, b=0, t=40), dragmode='lasso', uirevision='lock' # expected to preserve camera ) I also try to preserve relayoutData['scene.camera'] like this: if relayoutData and 'scene.camera' in relayoutData: layout['scene']['camera'] = relayoutData['scene.camera'] The problem: On desktop, everything works as expected => the camera stays in place even after updates (new points, new filters, cube added). On mobile browsers (tested on Chrome/Android + Safari/iOS): Zoom/pan is lost after any update. What I’ve tried : 1)Using uirevision="lock" → works only on desktop 2)Using relayoutData to store and reassign the camera → ignored on mobile 3)Wrapping dcc.Graph in dcc.Loading to avoid re-render → same result 4)Avoiding full figure update → not practical (I need the updates) Is this a known limitation of Plotly / Dash on mobile ? and is there a way to fully lock or persist camera view on mobile devices?
