Links in prototype are clickable even when behind unclickable things

I have an iphone prototype with a fixed footer, and content that scrolls behind the footer. Part of my footer has interactions in it, but some of it doesn’t. If someone taps the unlinked portion of my footer and the content behind it is a link, it opens the link. Essentially figma is treating any unlinked portions of my prototype as being underneath linked items, even when they’re not. What am I doing wrong?

You’re doing everything right, it’s just how presentation mode currently works.

Well shoot, that’s a pain! But thanks for letting me know.


Hey everyone, sorry to unearth this thread. But I consider this a massive issue that could void a lot of usability testing.
Is there any solution or change that has been implemented to this issue since?

Thanks!

Hey there, our team hasn’t prioritized this. It’s still currently expected behavior, but feel free to Vote on the topic linked by @tank666 here:
