I have everything selected for visible tab names in nav, all titles filled in etc but for some reason my tab labels aren’t visible in the left nav on mobile view. Any tips?

Do you have any visibility conditions for those tabs?

Did you check the hide from nav bar box here?

Normally you only get the left nav bar on mobile if you view the App in landscape.  
When you do that, you get a collapsible nav bar on the left.  
When the nav bar is collapsed, the labels are hidden.  
When the nav bar is expanded, the labels are visible.

Are you seeing something different to this?

I realized that tapping the hamburger menu was only to access the user profile and the tab nav is on the bottom of the app. I thought that the tabs would be visible on the left drawer when added to hamburger menu drawer. So figured it out.

They will, if you have too many, or if you drag them below the “Menu” marker:

But the Hamburger Menu is not the Nav Bar, and that’s not what I was referring to (and what I thought you were referring to).

By default, the Nav Bar will appear at the bottom of the screen on a mobile device. But if you rotate your device 90 degrees into landscape mode, it switches to the left hand side and becomes collapsible. Examples:

- Nav Bar expanded (with labels visible)  

- Nav Bar collapsed (with labels hidden)
