When I checked the game report on mobile, again it still doesn’t say I got any brilliant moves. I just checked the game report on the web browser and now it says I have 2 brilliant moves. Chess.com really needs to fix this because the analysis of my games shouldn’t be different based off of what device I am playing on.

If your app is showing Game Report, it's using a different move classification system.

Game Review uses a different definition for brilliant, which is a sacrifice that is best or good. The older Game Report does something completely different.

Interestingly, the Game Review can change the Game Report. If I analyze using the Game Report, then the Game Review, and then the Game Report, the Game Review values show up in the Game Report. The game accuracy also changes in my stats, usually dropping, sometimes significantly. This suggests a player who only uses Game Report will have a higher average accuracy than the player who uses Game Review.
