Using the Figma Mirror app for mobile designs
Blog post from LogRocket
Figma Mirror is a mobile application available for iOS and Android that allows designers to test their Figma designs and prototypes on real mobile devices, providing an authentic feel for the application in its intended environment. The app facilitates the visualization of designs at their actual size and enables designers to assess component sizes and interactions between screens, which is particularly challenging when relying solely on desktop simulations. It offers features like live updating, mirroring as a prototype, and the ability to conduct user testing by presenting designs in a realistic setting. The app includes sections such as Recent, Search, Activity, and Mirror, allowing users to manage projects efficiently. Additionally, Figma Mirror can be used for presentations by connecting the screens like a prototype, and there is a web-based version for those who prefer not to install another app. The app is designed to enhance the design process by offering a seamless transition between desktop and mobile testing environments, encouraging designers to incorporate it into their workflow.
