Question

Figma Mirror does not display images on mobile devices

Hi Figma team,

Since September 1, images have stopped displaying when using Figma Mirror on mobile devices.

Frames, text, shapes, and other UI elements are displayed normally, but image assets are completely missing in Mirror.

What I've tested:

  • Regular JPEG images do not display.
  • The issue occurs across different Figma files.
  • I tested it on my phone and my colleague tested it on a different phone — both have the same issue.
  • Text, shapes, and other UI elements display normally.
  • The images display correctly in the Figma design file itself.

Expected behavior:
Images should display normally in Figma Mirror along with the rest of the frame.

Actual behavior:
The frame is mirrored correctly, but all image assets are missing.

This issue has persisted since September 1 and is reproducible on multiple mobile devices.

Is this a known issue with Figma Mirror's image rendering or asset loading?

Thanks!

Hey ​@Amber Ou, thanks for flagging this! Testing across multiple files and two separate devices, and narrowing it down to just image assets while text and shapes render fine, gives us a lot to work with.

A few things worth ruling out first:

  1. Force quit the Figma mobile app and reopen it.
  2. Check that you're on the latest version of the app. If not, try updating, or uninstalling and reinstalling.
  3. Confirm you and your colleague are both logged into the same account on desktop and mobile.
  4. Make sure you're mirroring a top-level frame rather than a nested layer or group.

If it's still happening after that, could you let me know which app version you're on, and whether you're using the Mirror tab in the Figma mobile app itself or mirroring through a browser at figma.com/mirror? That'll help narrow down exactly where the images are dropping off.
