Figma has become a highly sought-after web-based application for designing and prototyping user interfaces. Its extensive features, collaborative capabilities, and user-friendly interface make it a beloved tool among designers. And the exciting part is, Figma can also be accessed on mobile devices, in addition to desktops!
This blog post will guide you through the steps on how to use Figma on mobile.
Downloading Figma Mobile App
First things first, you need to have the Figma app on your mobile device. The Figma mirror app is available for download on both Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play Store for Android devices.
Signing In
Once you have the app installed, open it up and sign in using your Figma account. If you don’t have a Figma account yet, you can easily create one by clicking the Sign Up button.
Accessing your design files
After logging in, you will be taken to your files page. Here, you can view and select any of your design files to open. You can access your drafts, team projects, and even files that have been shared with you.
Previewing your designs
The primary function of the Figma mobile app is to preview your designs. Once you have a design file open, you can interact with it just like how you would with a live website or app. This is especially helpful for testing out your prototypes.
Interacting with frames and components
Lastly, Figma’s mobile app allows you to interact with the frames and components in your design file. For example, you can tap on a frame to bring up its details, such as its name, dimensions, and layout settings. You can also explore the different states of a component by tapping on it.
There you go! Those are the basic steps on how to use Figma on mobile. While the mobile app doesn’t have all the extensive features offered on the desktop version, it’s a great tool for previewing and interacting with your designs on the go.
Happy designing!
