r/FigmaDesign on Reddit: Figma editing on IPad/Mobile!
June 7, 2025 -
Can we get functionality on IPad and mobile to edit your files. I need to be able to edit on the go with iPad.
The mobile app doesn’t allow any editing… only viewing. Thoughts?

Of course, the editing capabilities are more limited on mobile apps, but they are possible. Plus it’d be nice to be able to draw with the touchscreen. Is an editing feature being developed for future release? ... I now understand that the headline says “View designs. Comment. Mirror.” There’s no mention of “Edit” - however, on the app’s main page in the App Store on iOS, there’s a screenshot that looked to me like the app provided editing capabilities. Since the whole point of Figma is to design, I don’t really get the utility of this app if all one can do is add comments or see how designs look on a phone screen?

r/FigmaDesign on Reddit: Is it possible to use Figma on a mobile device like a tablet?
October 23, 2022 -
I'm looking into getting a Samsung tablet, firstly I was thinking about Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, but then thought - why the heck not get one with a stylus and use it for sketching? I have Wacom Cintiq, but sitting at the desk for long hours is tiresome, as you know, and I was wondering if graphics can get mobile. However Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 with a dedicated stylus is way, way more expensive and I don't want to throw away that cash.
Anyone designing on a mobile tablet device here? Is it usable? What are you doing? Would it be worth the money? I want to draw in Ps and do wireframes in Figma.

I used to use figma on s6 lite for designing a year back - it works but there's a catch, you can't you any shortcuts. Even if you get an external bluetooth keyboard not all windows/mac keys will be there, plus deep selection of objects is difficult with stylus. More cons than pros.

Dunno about android, but iPad has Figurative. Haven’t tried using it directly in the browser which might work since iPadOS uses desktop browser engine.

The app used to serve as a “mirror” application only, where it would only show the current file you’re working on.
This is the first update to the app for over one year. The changelog is below:
Introducing our updated Figma app! This latest build includes:
Added sharing, browsing, and viewing functionality for Figma files and prototypes
FigJam also supported for file sharing, browsing, and viewing
Navigate team and project folders
Playback prototypes without being tethered to your desktop
Turn on hot spots in prototypes for easier navigation
Mirror selected frames on desktop onto your mobile device
More intuitive and performant UX
