Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, developed by American software company Figma, Inc. It is available online and for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The Figma Mirror app lets you use your iOS device as a second screen for Figma. It’s great for doing design reviews or presenting your work to others. Here’s how to use it.

    1. Install the Figma Mirror app

    First, you’ll need to install the Figma Mirror app on your iOS device. Once it’s installed, open the app and sign in with your Figma account.

    2. Connect your iOS device to your computer

    Next, connect your iOS device to your computer using a Lightning cable. Once it’s connected, you should see the Mirror app appear in the bottom right corner of the Figma interface.

    3. Select a frame to mirror

    Now that the Mirror app is open, you can select which frame you want to mirror on your iOS device. To do this, click the Mirror icon in the bottom right corner of the Figma interface and then select the frame you want to mirror.

    4. Adjust the mirroring options

    Once you’ve selected a frame to mirror, you can adjust the mirroring options by clicking the Mirror icon and then selecting “Settings.” In the Settings menu, you can choose whether you want to mirror the entire frame or just a portion of it. You can also choose whether you want the mirror image to be updated automatically or manually.

    5. Use the Mirror app!

    Now that you’ve set up the Mirror app, you can start using it! To see how it works, try opening a design file in Figma and then selecting a frame to mirror on your iOS device. You should see the mirror image update in real-time as you make changes to the design file on your computer.

The Figma Mirror app is a great way to use your iOS device as a second screen for Figma. It’s easy to set up and use, and it lets you do things like design reviews or presentations with ease.

PRO TIP: The Figma Mirror app is a great tool for designers, but it can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Make sure that you understand how the app works before using it, and always double-check your work before mirroring it to your device.
