Which elements are missing or replaced in Bubble's new native mobile builder?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building my app using Bubble’s new native mobile editor, and I’ve come across a few elements that seem to be missing or renamed, and I’d love some clarification from the community or Bubble team.

Specifically:

  • I can’t seem to find the HTML element. Is this currently unsupported in native mobile, or has it been replaced with something else?
  • There’s no Repeating Group or Vertical List element like in the web editor. The closest I’ve found is a Short List, but it appears to render everything at once and doesn’t support lazy loading or pagination.
    • What’s the intended replacement for repeating dynamic content (e.g. a feed of cards or posts)?
  • Are there any other major elements or features from the web editor that are intentionally omitted in native mobile?

Trying to figure out the best practices for building dynamic, scalable UIs in the new system, and don’t want to hack around something that’s just not supported yet.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Try changing your page to the type ‘Vertical List’ and that should give you the mobile equivalent of a repeating group :slight_smile:

Maps doesn’t seem to be working at the moment (shows up in Editor, but not in emulator or BubbleGo - topic opened for it)

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@steinlevirain When building Native Mobile Apps in Bubble, you have to note a few things in mind. Native apps work differently from Web apps, hence they require their own native elements. Not all Web Elements are supported on Mobile Native, like the HTML element, dropdowns, etc.

Some Web Elements like drop down are recommended to be replaced with “Sheets” as they feel more native and follow industry standards on building Native Mobile Apps.

There are a lot of information on Bubble’s Manual.
