Multiple Flows Should Have Different Device Frames

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

Would love if this functionality existed. Ran into an issue of wanting to have different devices for different Prototype flows.

I am trying to transition from Adobe Xd and I am really surprised you can’t set individual devices for different flows. Seems like a huge oversight.

Just dropping a reply so that this topic doesn’t get archived.
This feature is very much needed.

I usually create one file per feature/platform area and inside each file I use the pages to tackle specific functionalities or flows within that bigger feature or entire area. This means that it’s not useful at all to have to create one page per device to be able to share the preview with the stakeholders.

Without this feature, this is my organisation inside a Figma project:

Prototypes [Project]
┗ User profile [File]
┄┗ Settings - Desktop [Page]
┄┄┗ Flow
┄┗ Settings - Tablet [Page]
┄┄┗ Flow
┄┗ Settings - Mobile [Page]
┄┄┗ Flow
┄┗ Upload picture - Desktop [Page]
┄┄┗ Flow
┄┗ Upload picture - Tablet [Page]
┄┄┗ Flow
┄┗ Upload picture - Mobile [Page]
┄┄┗ Flow

Why is that? Check this screen recording: Screen Recording 2022-04-26 at 14.42.46.mov - Google Drive

With this feature, I could save so many pages! Like this:
Prototypes [Project]
┗ User profile [File]
┄┗ Settings [Page]
┄┄┗ Desktop Flow — with a desktop device selected
┄┄┗ Tablet Flow — with a tablet device selected
┄┄┗ Mobile Flow — with a mobile device selected
┄┗ Upload picture [Page]
┄┄┗ Desktop Flow
┄┄┗ Tablet Flow
┄┄┗ Mobile Flow

Hope this makes sense, it’s not easy to explain in writing.

Needed! I don’t understand how FIgma could add multiple flows per page yet not give the ability to have multiple viewport sizes? You can’t assume that designs using a page per viewport size?

It’s more efficient to have them on a single page to compare a viewport against the other viewport sizes. Without it, we’d have to design in one sandbox file and then push the designs out to separate pages each time just to separate the flows.

+1! Super crucial for presenting and ease of switching devices.

Device frame per flow is a must have.
