Figma introduced Mirror for Android on May 9, 2017, bringing real-time mobile previews to Android users and designers. The app reflects selected Figma frames on an Android device and updates instantly as designs change on a computer. Figma also offered the same functionality through a mobile browser, making the feature accessible without installing the app.

Real-Time Design Mirroring

• Users can select a frame in a Figma file on their computer and view it immediately on an Android phone.
• Design edits made on the computer are reflected instantly in the mobile preview.
• The feature helps designers test how their work appears and behaves on an actual mobile device.
• Mirror was already available for iOS before the Android release.

Browser-Based Alternative

• Users who do not want to install the Android app can visit figma.com/mobile-app in a mobile browser.
• The browser version provides the same basic mirroring functionality.

Support for Android Design

• Android accounted for roughly 52% of the U.S. smartphone market and 82% of the global market at the time.
• Figma included preset frame sizes for several popular Android devices, reducing the need to create device layouts from scratch.

Figma Mirror for Android made mobile design testing more inclusive and convenient, while the browser option provided a no-download alternative.
