Let us design on tablets/mobile (Fully featured Figma for iOS and Android)

This is so much more important than a redesign.

Yeah BlackMagic’s port is one of the most impressive iPad ports I’ve ever seen. They actually took it seriously and even have hidden areas from the PC version that are fully fleshed out too.

Dear Figma Team,

I’m requesting two enhancements to improve Figma on iPad:

  1. A fully functional Figma app for iPad with complete editing capabilities.
  2. Support for using iOS-installed fonts in the Figma web version on iPad.

These changes would significantly enhance the usability of Figma for iPad users and expand creative options.

Thank you for considering these enhancements.

I agree they should implement a full operative Figma app for tablets. I use a Samsung Tab S9 and I can edit with chrome as easy as in my PC, but IDK why if it already runs in explorer they dont make a full edit app for tablets as well

Yes, I just bought the iPad M4, and it’s running well
So they could totally make an iPad app

Can they enable Figma to work on an iPad Air or iPad Pro fully unlocked?

You can actually use it on Safari, or Google. The problem is that they have to do improvements about the touchscreen

Im all in with iPad Pro M4 on the go. Please make it happen. :pray:

I would also love to use Figma on Ipad to be able to use it with the touch functionality! I just got a notification on my desktop to upgrade to the new Figma installer and noticed that the iPad app have been renamed to FigJam and have a new app icon instead of being called Figma and using the logo. Could this mean that they are about to release a full on Figma app for iPad? I certainly hope so at least, fingers crossed.

Does anyone have feedback on using the apple pencil pro in Figma on the ipad M2 or M4?

I’ve seen limited info and seems like the pencil pro doesn’t work on Figma on the ipad, is this correct?

As I progress through my career path, laptop has become less useful for me. I mainly use an iPad for everything now. It can join meetings (share screen, wide angle camera, reliable mic, etc.), taking notes, edit photos (hobbyist photographer).

Figma is the only thing I need that doesn’t support iPad right now is kind of a bummer.

I Would really want to get a workflow where I do my most heavy tasks at my desk with the mac studio, but also can do some work on the go or in the couch with an iPad. I know that there still are some limitations, but how well does the browser or Figurative experience work?

I’m also on the fence on which size to get. The 13" screen is appealing, but the 11" looks more comfortable to use in the hands, and then theres the price difference as well (a quite big difference here in Sweden). Is there anyone here who uses the 11", and is it too small for Figma tasks?

hey, as of today, figurative is basically abandoned and Figma on ipad is pretty useless (just viewing and comments). FigJam works ok on ipad.
I have the 11 and never missed the 2 inches, on the contrary, I may consider a mini next time. most stuff I do on it is: meetings and reading, occasionally sketching or writing, for which there is plenty of space.
I’ll consider a 13 only as a full replacement for macbook, but that doesn’t look realistic anytime soon.

Personally, just having a super-solid wire framing / sketching experience in Figma iOS would make me happy. In the new FigJam app, yes I can draw with the pencil, but I’d love to see the lines auto-straighten themselves (when activated), when I start drawing a shape the app would offer to auto-complete (and straighten) that shape.
