# Mobile interfaces in Airtable

| **Plan availability** | All plan types/levels |
| --- | --- |
| **Permissions** | [Please consult this support article](/docs/interface-designer-permissions) for a breakdown of Interface Designer permissions. - ["Owner" or "Creator" permissions](https://support.airtable.com/docs/interface-designer-permissions) are needed to create interfaces as described in the article below |
| **Platform(s)** | [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airtable/id914172636) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.formagrid.airtable&hl=en_US&gl=US) apps |

## Using mobile interfaces in Airtable

> [!CAUTION]
> Note
> 
> The Airtable iOS and Android apps may become slow or fail to load properly when handling tens of thousands of records. This is a known limitation of the app, not the interface type. While record list, gallery, kanban, and calendar layouts are supported, performance drops sharply with very large datasets.

**Mobile interfaces overview**

Mobile interfaces in Airtable allow for mobile-optimized versions of Airtable's web and desktop experiences with no configuration from interface builders or collaborators.

Using interfaces on mobile allows users to do things like:

- Review and take immediate actions, like reviewing open bugs and assigning DRIs.
- Edit or update field data.
- Add records through forms.
- Approve or reject proposed copy and assets for things like marketing launches or sales campaigns.
- Comment or respond to project collaborators.
- Search for, review, and share related project tickets, information, etc., with collaborators.
- Update project statuses and provide relevant feedback.

**Using mobile interfaces**

1. Open the Airtable app on your mobile device.
2. Locate your preferred interface from the Airtable app home screen.
3. Tap your preferred interface to open.

Once your interface is open, you can view full-screen pages of list, gallery, calendar, or kanban elements and search and filter records using the tab or dropdown filter elements.

## FAQs

**Are you able to edit an interface via the mobile iOS or Android apps?**

No. Creators are unable to edit the configuration of an interface via the app. The mobile app is only designed for end-users/contributors with access to the interface.

**Are interfaces supported on iPads?**

Yes, iPads support interfaces, however, there are certain limitations on iPads that differ from iPhones. The most common difference is that full screen record detail pages will not load on iPads. The workaround is to configure the record details page to open as a sidesheet experience instead of fullscreen.
