Figma Mobile: Page Navigation, Frame Export and Shareable Links
FigmaFigma updated its mobile app with a page dropdown, a frame preview slider and shareable links to specific pages or frames. Users can now export individual frames and images to their phone with format and size options, and the app resumes exactly where the user left off.
Key Takeaways
- Page dropdown lets mobile users switch between pages in a file without re-navigating.
- A frame preview slider speeds up moving between frames when reviewing flows on a phone.
- Users can share links to specific pages or frames, so feedback lands on the exact screen.
- Export of individual frames and images to the phone comes with format and size options.
- The app now resumes exactly where the user left off, saving repeated navigation.
- Together, the changes make the mobile app more useful for reviews and sharing, not just viewing.
Smoother navigation on mobile
Figma released a set of improvements to its mobile app aimed at making it easier to review and discuss designs on the go. The update focuses on two things: moving around a file quickly and getting work out of the app and into the hands of other people.
Page dropdown and frame preview slider
A new page dropdown lets users switch between pages in a file without hunting through the file structure. Alongside it, a frame preview slider makes it possible to move quickly from one frame to the next, which is especially useful when reviewing a long flow of screens on a small display.
Session resumption
The mobile app now reopens exactly where the user left off. Instead of re-navigating to the right file, page and frame after switching apps or relaunching, users land back in the spot they were viewing.
Better sharing and export
Links to specific pages and frames
Figma added the ability to share links to the specific page or frame being viewed. Rather than sending a link to a whole file and explaining where to look, designers and stakeholders can point teammates straight at the relevant screen.
Export individual frames and images
Users can now export individual frames and images to their phone, with format and size options. This makes it simple to share a screen in a chat, drop it into a message or save it for reference, without needing to open the desktop app.
Why it matters
Mobile has long been mostly a viewing companion to Figma on desktop. With faster navigation, precise links and direct export, the app becomes more practical for quick design reviews, stakeholder feedback and sharing work away from a desk. The update is available through the Figma mobile app on the Apple App Store.
