Figma updates Make mobile testing and cuts vector editing time up to 10x
Figma said its mobile app can now test Make prototypes and touch interactions, while the main editor update promises up to 10x faster vector editing, 4x smoother frame rates, faster loads, and 92% fewer memory warnings. That matters because large design files and prototype reviews should stay usable on both phone and desktop.
TL;DR
- Figma said the mobile app can now test Make prototypes and touch interactions, according to figma's mobile Make update.
- In the main editor, figma's performance post said vector editing is now up to 10x faster, Make frame rates are 4x smoother, load times are faster, and memory warnings are down 92%.
- The mobile rollout is still partial: figma framed testing as available now, while creation and editing for Makes on mobile are still marked "coming soon."
Figma split this update into two useful buckets. The mobile Make post turns the phone app into a prototype reviewer for touch interactions, while the performance post targets the desktop pain points that show up when files get heavy. The interesting part is the combination: mobile gets more review utility at the same time the editor claims major gains on vectors, playback, and memory pressure.
Make testing on mobile
Figma said users can now test Make prototypes and touch interactions inside the mobile app. That shifts the app toward preview and review work, not just static file viewing.
The same post draws a clear line between what shipped and what did not. Testing is live now, but full Make authoring on mobile is not.
Editor speedups
Figma attached four concrete performance claims to the editor update:
- Vector editing: up to 10x faster
- Make frame rates: 4x smoother
- Load times: faster
- Memory warnings: 92% fewer
The bundle matters because it hits both interaction speed and stability. Vector operations and timeline playback get the headline numbers, while the memory warning drop suggests Figma has also trimmed some of the failure modes that show up in larger sessions.
Mobile creation is the next step
Figma said "create and edit Makes on mobile" is coming soon. That leaves the current mobile update in a narrower lane: you can test and interact with prototypes today, but the actual build loop still lives elsewhere.
That roadmap note is the new piece of information in the rollout. Figma is not presenting mobile Make as finished, it is presenting mobile testing as the first shipped slice.
