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

Right now it is pretty much impossible to use with and Android tablet (at least without a keyboard) because most things you click on the UI will eventually trigger the tablet’s virtual keyboard and it becomes really annoying to do anything. A tablet version of the web app would be great.

So much into this topic. I love Figurative but a more “native” Tablet or simply touch experience is definetly a must for Figma as a long term strattegy.

Figma was hiring a designer for Mobile a while ago so fingers crossed 🤞

我在iPad pro上连接键盘与鼠标，可以很好的使用figma。但是我更想使用 apple pencil来在ipad上工作。

I’m sorry, could you please write in English? Most people here can’t understand you. My native language isn’t English either.

I have tried to connect to the TV with an Android phone and open figma in the browser of the phone, but it is necessary to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. https://twitter.com/ymyz1229/status/1332188168209108993

I agree. Tablet and Chromebook support would be a huge time saver, enabling a lot of quick touch and pen-based edits that aren’t possible yet.

As of now, it’s terrible in android tablets. I recently bought Samsung s7 and even though figma loads like as in desktop, the interactions were damn poor. I have to drag with two fingers inorder to pane.

i need figma app on iPad Pro

I’ve used Figma on chromebooks and it works great for the most part. I do wish fingers were treated automatically as a hand tool while on canvas tho

I’d love a figma native app that worked like figurative. That’s been my been my favorite way to use figma so far. It’s a shame figurative hasn’t been developed recently tho.

With the M1 iPad approaching, shouldn’t they start to port to iPadOS already? 😞 So much potential

Having iPad support (hopefully a native app) for FigJam would be amazing! I hate drawing with my mouse and having that right on my iPad would be amazing and make it feel like a real whiteboard experience.

This! I am getting the new M1 iPad so I can better sketch digitally, which makes it easier to transfer my work to Figma as well. I can also take sketching a lot more seriously with it.

But now that FigJam exists, it sounds like we’re almost able to do the full sketch to final design process in Figma… a native app would be incredible for this workflow.

I am looking forward to what you will bring next, Figma! Keep being incredible 🙏

Yes. I’m a hundred percent agree with the folks here. FigJam was an awesome idea but drawing with a mouse is kind of pointless. Also in the future working on a tablet such as iPad Pro with pencil is felt more intuitive than desktop and laptops.

Ever since Apple pencil came out, I’ve been dying to use it on a design tool. Now with m1 chip in iPad pros, lets have figma on ipad plzzzzz

we need apple pencil support like in miro - or other pencils for android - would make up a whole new concept part for figma… or figjam

And? Does everything work or are you just boasting?

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

Using mouse and keyboard extensively when designing can be physically taxing. Supporting direct manipulation with pencil for easy interaction would be a huge game changer.

2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
   (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

if we could just delete stuff with apple pen, or the right click of the mouse on a layer/object to delete, it would be a great help.

it would be completely my dream to use figma for urgent little tweaks right from my android tablet. There really is a lot of difficulty to use from the browser

So, my main software of use is Figma, and I’m about to buy a tablet (either iPad or Samsung) but for what I am reading… Figma isn’t ready to use on a tablet, right? So, is it worth the buy or not yet? (it’s my first tablet ever and want to use it for remote purposes)

Having a functional and adapted experience for tablet is clearly something that would totally add values to a myriad of users … and make a deep difference with competition (sketch).

I can’t help but to think to all these meetings where touch devices would really bring significant possibilities.

It is even more on spot if you consider how Figma aim at collaboration.

Figma team, you don’t have to tackle this issue, YOU WANT TO GO THERE.

And you know it 😉

It’s not really ready, no. However I did recently find a trick:

1. If you have a newer Mac and OS that supports Apple Sidecar
2. And if you have a newer iPad and OS with an Apple Pencil
3. You can set the iPad as a second screen and move Mac Figma to it
4. When you use the Pencil on the iPad, Figma recognizes that input

In this configuration I’m able to interact with the Figma interface and actually draw with the Pencil in the Figma documents. This is the first I’ve been able to do this using either an iPad or Chromebook. I also haven’t heard any news from anyone about this. I just happened to try it one day.
