Hey! On Bubble native apps, there isn’t a “page reload” like on web apps, but you can mimic it with a few tricks. One common way is to use a workflow to reset groups or repeating groups, or navigate to the same page with “reset data” checked, that often gives the effect of a refresh. Another approach is to use custom states to trigger updates on your elements without actually reloading the whole page, which is usually smoother on mobile. If you want, I can give a quick example workflow for a repeating group that refreshes like a web app, it works really well for native apps. ---

Great question! I’ve worked extensively with Bubble native apps and here’s what works best for me: The “reset data” approach that @connect10 mentioned is solid. I typically use a workflow like: 1. Navigate to the same page with “reset data” checked 2. Add a “Display data” action to refresh any specific repeating groups For a more app-like experience, I also use custom states as triggers. When a user pulls down or clicks a refresh button: - Toggle a custom state (e.g., “refresh\_trigger”) - Set your repeating groups’ data source to reset when this state changes - Add a loading spinner tied to the state for better UX One tip: if you’re dealing with external data via API, consider using a “Do a search for” with “:filtered” and a timestamp constraint. This forces Bubble to re-fetch the data without a full page reload. Happy to share more specific workflows if you need them! ---

Edit a random element… I inserted a button that when pressed activates a workflow that inserts a random text string in a specially created field. This forces my entire list to update… ---
