I want to display the current logged in users profile image and i want it to work on mobile devices to.

Now if i use the following lines it works but multiple times i can see an error showing, the image is still displayed correctly, sometimes the error message is now showed at all and i don't know why i receive the error at all.

If(Microsoft365Users.UserPhotoMetadata(Microsoft365Users.MyProfileV2().mail).HasPhoto=false,SampleImage,Microsoft365Users.UserPhotoV2(Microsoft365Users.MyProfileV2().mail))

Error Message displayed at random (Image is always showed correctly even if the error message is displayed)

If i use User().Image it works on some devices but not all and not for all users.

Any suggestion how i can work around this? Or let me know whats wrong with my lines.

Hi @JimmyWork :
I've made a test but did not encounted the problem you mentioned.
Let us work together step by step to find the problem:
Firstly,I'm not sure if you quoted the name of the connector correctly.Could you show me a screenshot of your data source?
Secondly,I am not sure if this is caused by Throttling Limits.
The call limit for Office 365 Users connector is 1000 in 60s.Although this is unlikely, you can try this code to reduce the number of calls.

If( Office365Users.UserPhotoMetadata(User().Email).HasPhoto, Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(User().Email), SampleImage )

On your side,it should be

If( Microsoft365Users.UserPhotoMetadata(User().Email).HasPhoto, Microsoft365Users.UserPhotoV2(User().Email), SampleImage )

Finally,I think a safer way is to use the above code to get the user's picture and save it in a variable when loading the app. This prevents the app from calling office365User connection repeatedly.
1\Set the App's OnStart property to:

Set( UserPhoto, /*UserPhoto is my custom variable*/ If( Office365Users.UserPhotoMetadata(User().Email).HasPhoto, Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(User().Email), SampleImage ) )

2\Set the image control's Image property to:

UserPhoto

Best Regards,
