Build a responsive Power Apps screen with containers
Stop pinning controls with fixed X/Y. Use layout containers and relative sizing so screens adapt to any window or device.
Turn on responsive mode
- 1In App Settings > Display, turn off "Scale to fit" so the app uses the real window size.
- 2Reference App.Width / Parent.Width instead of hard-coded pixel positions.
Use layout containers
- 1Build screens from horizontal and vertical layout containers that distribute their children automatically.
- 2Set children to Fill or a percentage of the parent so they grow and shrink with the window.
- 3Nest containers to create rows and columns without manual X/Y math.
Add breakpoints
Define a breakpoint such as locIsMobile = Parent.Width < 768 and switch container direction or visibility with it, so a two-column layout stacks on phones.
