Designing user-friendly forms is challenging for UX designers. The difficulty increases with long forms.

The limited screen size of mobile devices makes it crucial to balance usability and functionality without overwhelming users. Organizing input fields on a small single-column layout can be challenging for UX designers.

Let’s explore practical steps to make long mobile forms more user-friendly so that users can interact with them easily.

Step 1: Skip optional/unnecessary fields

Start by carefully reviewing all the fields in your form.

Identify and remove fields that are optional or do not collect useful information.

Focus solely on the required and essential inputs.

If you have already designed the desktop version of the form, this is a great opportunity to trim down unnecessary fields and design an optimized form.

“Ask the users as few questions as possible.”

Intead of providing separate fields for First Name and Last Name, provide a single field Full Name.
