Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a responsive screen in Power Apps.

I set the Manual Layout Container as the parent container and applied proper formulas for Width, Height, X, and Y properties for all child controls (based on Parent.Width and Parent.Height).

However, even after doing this, I am getting almost the same responsive behavior as when I use an Auto Layout Container.

There is no noticeable improvement or difference in responsiveness.

My understanding was that Manual Layout should give more control and better responsive behavior when formulas are used properly.

Am I missing any important settings or best practices while using Manual Layout containers for responsiveness?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Manual Layout Containers do not automatically give you better responsiveness than Auto Layout Containers.

They are different control, and if you use them the same way and replicate the same look and feel experience.

With the Manual you have to explicitly mentioned the Coordinates Such as X, Y , Width, Height accordingly , the responsiveness of the screen will depends on the formula / logic which we written.
