Overview
Play makes it effortless to share prototypes with stakeholders, users, and beyond. Anyone can open a Play prototype instantly on an iPhone or iPad through an Apple App Clip, just by tapping a link or scanning a QR code. No app install, no account, no extra steps. Each project has its own App Clip, and the prototype adapts to the viewer’s device size and safe areas. If the Play app is already installed, the same link simply opens there. The App Clip will remain on a device as an icon for up to 10 days of inactivity before it disappears, but Pro & Enterprise users can always revoke access by adding or change the password.Notes:
- Play does not generate QR Codes at this time, you’ll need to create them yourself through a 3rd party.
- App Clips are only available on iOS 17+.
- To share your design file, read this article.
