Animation not working on mobile

I have created an animated component, composed of 5 variants (see screenshot). Each variant animate on a delay and a ‘Smart animation’. I have placed a few instances of that Component in a single Frame and modified the delay amount of the instances. When I launch the prototype on desktop, it works perfectly fine, but when I open the same animation on my Android (Browser: Chrome), it doesn’t animate at all.

This is it (click on launch): https://www.figma.com/proto/NQwuTvrmmcqGHaZztdTdKY/BrightLight?page-id=1%3A920&type=design&node-id=217-1086&viewport=103%2C-828%2C0.59&t=xxgyXDWKzjomSIWA-1&scaling=scale-down&starting-point-node-id=217%3A1086&mode=design

Can anyone help? :slight_smile:

https://we.tl/t-POsvgqqd7y Here you can download the .fig file of that particular frame

After I click Launch, and land on to the List page, animation doesn’t work. But, if I Refresh the page there itself, animation works fine.
Or, if I just load the List page directly by using the URL, bypassing the Launch, it works fine.
I have not checked the fig file but, yeah, there could be some bug.

That’s interesting, I wonder why that happens. Thank you for taking the time anyway :slight_smile:

Hey @Tiz, thank you for reaching out!

The minimum requirement to view Figma files on Android mobile browsers are Chrome on devices with Android 7 or later. You can read more information regarding this in our Help Center article: Mobile requirements

I’d recommend downloading the Figma mobile app. The app is supported on devices running Android 8 or later. The Figma mobile app lets you access your files and test prototypes. You can also share files, browse multiple workspaces, and mirror frames from your desktop to your mobile device.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

When animations in your app don’t function on mobile devices, it can negatively impact the user experience and reduce its efficacy. This problem may be caused by a number of things, such as browser limits, performance concerns, or compatibility problems.

Start with performance-optimizing your animations to handle mobile animation difficulties. Large file sizes or intricate animations might put a load on the device’s resources, causing it to function slowly or even crash. To improve performance on mobile devices, simplify animations, minimize file sizes, and take advantage of hardware acceleration whenever feasible.

Make sure your animations work on a variety of platforms and devices to make sure they are compatible with mobile browsers and operating systems. Some CSS features or animation techniques may only be supported to varied degrees by different browsers. To guarantee dependability and consistency across various mobile contexts, make the appropriate adjustments to your animations.
