Hello, I want to show my iPhone 13 app prototype on my iPad. However it isn’t fitting to its iPhone 13 screen size, it fills the whole ipad screen meaning you have to scroll up and down to perform actions. I would like it to show the whole screen and you can interact with it as it would be shown on an iPhone. Can someone help me with how to do this?
Question
How to make your prototype fit to screen on iPad
Only two workarounds that I’m aware of:
- Don’t use the Figma app but use the Safari browser instead
- Use multitasking and put the Figma app in either Slide Over or 1/3-screen split view to demo

Yes, ntfromchicago gave a good solution to this lame problem. THANK YOU ntfromchicago!. Use the multitasking and you can get 2/3 of the screen and thereby see the prototype as it should have been programmed from the beginning. I will add one more trick to make it better. open safari on the other side and open www.blackscreen.app in the browser and double click it to open in fullscreen mode. Now you have almost what you are probably looking for.
That said, it’s mind blowing a Prototype tool can’t do this. Showing your iphone prototype to a client on an ipad is an obvious need. Figma is a great program, but missing basics like this is embarrassing and they should be ashamed. They have 1300 people. But no, people have to fake stuff to do a dumb basic task.

Prototype interactions work in Mirroring mode, in case that’s helpful. That’s how I test stuff while designing.
Create screenshot on your iPad.
Add it to Figma and frame it.
Mirror anything within this frame to your iPad in its native resolution.
LoLing that the workaround for this is “don’t use the Figma app”
