How Do You Prototype Mobile App in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 8:33 pm

Prototyping a mobile app in Figma is a quick and easy process that can be done in just a few minutes. There are two main ways to prototype a mobile app in Figma: by using the built-in mobile templates or by creating your own custom template.

If you want to use the built-in mobile templates, simply open Figma and select the “Mobile” template from the list of available templates. From there, you can customize the template to match your specific needs.

PRO TIP: When prototyping a mobile app in Figma, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, because Figma is a vector-based tool, your prototypes may not look as realistic as they would if you used a raster-based tool like Photoshop. Additionally, because Figma is primarily designed for web and interface design, it may be lacking in features and functionality that are specific to mobile app design. Finally, because Figma is still relatively new, there is a chance that bugs and glitches could impact your prototypes.

If you want to create your own custom template, you can do so by creating a new file and then selecting the “Custom” template option. From there, you’ll need to add the necessary elements to your file, such as screens, buttons, and text boxes.

Once you have your prototype ready, you can then share it with others by exporting it as an HTML file or sending a link.
