I am trying to capture the changing width of the app based on whether the application is running on a mobile device or a desktop. 

When I put the following 2 formulas on a label, it shows I am using a large screen even when I open the app on mobile.

App.ActiveScreen.Size 
or
Parent.Size

 

When I also to try to get the width and store it in a label, It also doesn't change even when I open the app on mobile.

App.ActiveScreen.Width
or
Parent.Width

The display settings on my app are as folllows.

Why does the value given by Parent.width not change when the app is open on Browser and on Phone Even though the app's dimensions appear to be changing? How can I capture the dynamic width of the screen based on where someone opens the app from?
