Best way to determine a user's country inside Power Apps?

Posted on by furqan-ashraf

I'm building a Power App that needs to show different content depending on the user's country.

The obvious approach is to ask users to select their location manually, but that creates extra friction and often results in incorrect data.

Has anyone implemented automatic country detection within Power Apps or Power Automate? Did you use Microsoft services, a custom connector, or an external data source?

I'm particularly interested in solutions that work reliably for remote users and don't require manual user input.

Hello @furqan-ashraf,

You can use the Office 365 connector in the app. It returns the current logged-in user’s details from the Azure AD (Entra ID) profile, such as country, city, date of birth, and other available properties.

It will return current login user country name:

Office365Users.MyProfileV2().country

Basically you need to add Office 365 Users connector in app.

You can use the Office 365 Users connector to pull the user information

Office365Users.MyProfile().Country / Office365Users.MyProfile().OfficeLocation

Note : But it depends on AD data quality if all the data is sync you may get the data if data is not available it will give empty value only.

Another approach you can use Location.Latitude & Location.Longitude to determine the location of the user for that location permission needs to be provided.

For the calculation you can visit this blog - https://powertower.dev/2025/07/29/geolocation-in-powerapps-how-to-use-the-users-location-to-build-smarter-apps/

Thanks for the suggestions.

Using the Office 365 Users connector looks like the simplest approach for my use case, and I wasn't aware that the country field could be retrieved directly from the user's profile. The note about data quality in Entra ID is also helpful and something I'll need to verify in our environment.

I appreciate both of you sharing the different options and considerations. This gives me a clear path forward.

Hi @furqan-ashraf,

If you don't want to use Office365Users.MyProfile().Country / Office365Users.MyProfile().OfficeLocation, another option is use Lanuguage function with bit of manipulation.

At App OnStart - you can use a variable like this to pickup the countyr code and can use a bit of translation where you want to show.

Please note that Language() function retrieves lang-country code tag from:

In a browser: It uses the browser’s language/locale settings (usually the browser’s preferred language or the operating system locale that the browser inherits).

In the Power Apps mobile app: It uses the device’s language and regional settings.

In desktop or other hosts: It uses the host OS locale or app environment settings.

I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!
