Question

How do you accommodate the notch on the iPhone X in your designs?

Hey guys! This is my first time posting on the Figma community, pleasure to meet you all! 😊

So my question is…

If you’re designing a product for a web browser and you want to test it on a phone, how do you personally accommodate for the phones notch and the browser header and footer that would usually be on the page?

When I load my design on a template or on my iPhone, the content goes behind the notch and I’m not sure of the most efficient way to design around this.

  • Is it as simple as ading in fake browser headers and footers into every design?
  • If so, would you submit designs to developers with these included in, or remove them at the end?

Thanks in advance!
Tom

Just switched to Figma because I needed a replacement to Invision. Shocking that this hasn’t been addressed. Not only is this notch issue something that makes no sense, if you do create a workaround by adding a fake status bar, that status bar looks ridiculous if a client actually views the MOBILE prototype on a MOBILE device, where the notch and phone chrome are gone.

 

Please - let’s fix this Figma. Presenting to clients is one of the most important aspects of running a business.
