My Prototype is running very slow/ laggy on Figma Mobile app/ Mirroring

Hi @Celine_Figma. I’m having this low performance issue with my prototype on Android devices. Have tried in different Android devices in the US and Europe, with and without the app. The performance is bad in all cases. Since it is a while since the last reply, is there a know solution for this issue?

Hey @Gustavo4 ,
Unfortunately, not at this moment. As a first troubleshooting, please try to restart your device, and delete and reinstall the Figma app.

It is a known issue that our engineering team is still working on it – though I can’t guarantee an ETA for any improvements. It would be great if you can also reach out directly to the support team so we can collect some data to investigate further by filling this form here.

Be sure to use your Figma account email, include a short video (screen recording) from your mobile device (please include the whole window) and share the specs of the mobile phone and app (OS and version) so they can take a closer look. Thank you!

Mirroring on the Figma Mobile App feels like it’s 1998. It’s so slow and buggy that it is a real show stopper for our agency. We design and develop for mobile only. But since there is no real functioning real time demo, Figma is kind of worthless. Take a look at XD’s preview on mobile. And also the preview in general. It’s much faster, 100% accurate and always true to size.

Do you plan to fix this? Otherwise we’ll have to find another tool instead of XD than Figma.

So good to see that the issue persists 2 years later...

Yep, still persists after all this time

So good to see

Prototyping on mobile in extremely slow on Android AND Ios. 

2025 is about to end, and we still have to face the same issue, 👎

No update .Same  Problem👎.
