Mobile App Field Content

I have built two apps that replicate each other; one is for desktop
use and the other is for mobile phones.

There are a handful of fields that display data differently depending
on the device being used.

Below is a view of a Label with date content in it. The view is the mobile
app access through the Power Apps studio. If I access this same app
through the Power Apps player on my phone the date shows up as
January 18, 2025.

How do I correct this issue?

There are also times when a number pad will appear in the phone
app when the user is interacting with a field that requires a number.

Is there a way to eliminate the number pad?

    Its displaying the date/time using the default for the operating system. If you want to control how it displays you can use a Text() function to impose a specific format.
     
    In terms of the number pad I don't think there is a way to disable it. Its part of the operating system in the mobile client.
