Viewing Figma Prototypes on Mobile

Figma enables you to preview and test your designs on a wide range of screen sizes and types. Here's how to view your Figma prototype on your mobile device.

First, let's understand how to set up your prototype for mobile preview.

Setting Up Your Prototype for Mobile Preview

Figma allows you to create frames for different screen sizes. You can set up your prototype to preview optimal screen sizes.

Follow these steps to set your prototype for mobile preview:

Click on the inspector panel and go to the 'Prototype' section.
Ensure 'Scale' is set to 'Auto' or 'Fit'. This adjusts your artboards to fit the selected screen size.
Choose 'Mobile' as the selected screen size.

Accessing Your Figma Prototype on Mobile

Now that you've set up your prototype for mobile preview, let's see how you can access it on your mobile device.

Figma has a mobile app called 'Mirror' that syncs your designs with your mobile device. Here's how to use it:

First, ensure the Figma desktop app and the Mirror app are installed on your device.
Open your prototype in the Figma desktop app.
Click on 'Share' at the top right corner of your screen.
Under the 'Link' section, click on 'Mirror'. This will sync your prototype with your mobile device.

Open the Mirror app on your mobile device, and your prototype should appear there. Now you can preview, interact, and test your design with a mobile perspective.
