The chat-story format behind billions of short-form views
From idea to upload in three steps
The whole point is speed. Most creators go from a blank screen to a finished clip before their coffee gets cold.
Write the conversation
Type each message and pick who's sending. Drop in emoji, reactions, voice notes, images and typing dots — it reads exactly like a real thread.
Style your chat
Set names, avatars, wallpaper, dark or light mode and read receipts until it's indistinguishable from a real screen recording.
Export & post
Hit render and Mock Chats animates the messages in, one bubble at a time, then hands you a vertical clip ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Chat stories that keep viewers to the last message
A conversation unfolds line by line and people stay to see how it ends — every story below is fiction, written from scratch and playing back exactly as it exports.
Story 01
Viral prankThe stockroom fire
An employee reports escalating chaos one message at a time — small fire, okay medium fire — while the boss types back in increasing caps and finally grabs the car keys.
Story 02
Viral prankThe celebrity walk-in
A famous face walks into the salon before a big event — and the trainee on her second day ends up holding the scissors. The front desk keeps the owner updated, one increasingly panicked text at a time.
Ad creative that doesn't feel like an ad
The campaigns brands run every week, told as chat videos — playing live in the same preview the studio renders. Every brand and conversation is fiction, written from scratch.
Coupon drop
A discount code revealed through chat, with scarcity and exclusivity built in.
Giveaway
A giveaway explained through chat — follow, like, tag, and the deadline lands last.
Back in stock
The sold-out item returns and the customer jumps before it goes again.
Word of mouth
A product reveal told as two friends texting — the brand only shows up as the payoff.

Everything that makes a chat read as real
The details are what make viewers believe it. Mock Chats rebuilds the interface down to the ticks so you don't have to.
Every message type
Text, images and video, voice notes, plus voice, video and missed calls — the full chat vocabulary, not just bubbles.
Reactions & emoji
React to any bubble with an emoji, rendered as Apple emoji so your chat looks right on every phone and platform.
Read receipts that land
Grey ticks turn blue the moment a message is 'read' during playback — the tiny detail that sells the whole illusion.
Typing indicators
The animated three-dot bubble appears before each reply, so the conversation feels like it's happening live on screen.
Dark mode & wallpaper
Flip on WhatsApp's full dark theme and the doodle chat background — or turn them off for a clean light thread.
Names, photos & status
Custom names and contact photos for both sides, plus the online / typing status in the header.
Drag-to-reorder editor
Add, remove and drag messages into place while a live preview updates as you type. No timeline, no keyframes.
Playback speed
Slow, medium or fast reveal — tune how fast the thread plays in to match the suspense your story needs.
Image or video export
Export a single clean screenshot or an animated vertical video — retina-sharp and ready to upload. Your call.
If your audience watches short-form, this is for you
Faceless & storytime creators
The daily text-story channels quietly racking up views. Script a thread on your lunch break, post it, and do it again tomorrow.
Meme & entertainment pages
Spin up reaction-bait chats in minutes and keep a hungry feed fed — the format practically writes its own comments section.
Brands & marketers
Sell through a relatable conversation instead of another talking-head ad — as clearly-fictional storytelling, never fake proof.
Coaches & educators
Frame a lesson as a chat between two people and turn a dry topic into something people actually watch to the end.
Built for storytelling — not deception
Every chat is fiction you write for entertainment, parody or marketing mockups. Mock Chats never touches anyone's real messages, and our terms prohibit passing generated chats off as real endorsements or proof.
