Hi All,I want to read the data from a mobile screen and want to save that particular data in data verse power apps using power apps.is there any resolution for that.?
@Anonymous
Can you clarify what it is that you want to read from a mobile screen? Are you saying that the user could have, for example a web browser or SMS app open, and you want to capture the content that's displayed through those apps?
If that's the case, that's not possible because there's no way for the Power Apps mobile player to interact with other apps on the mobile device.
A workaround could be to build some feature that enables the user to upload a screenshot of the mobile device into a Power App, which you would then store into Dataverse. You could use AI builder to extract the text, if that's what you want.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Do you want to directly get data displayed in your mobile screen into your app?
If yes, currently, we don't have such function. The key is how to read the data, but there is no such connector for users to read such data.
If you want this feature to be added, please raise an new idea in our idea forum:
Power Apps Ideas - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
Best regards,
Allen
