Chat screenshots
Make a Fake WhatsApp Screenshot
Want a fake WhatsApp-style chat screenshot for a meme, a joke or a mock-up? With FauxChat you build the conversation first and then capture it with your iPhone's normal screenshot buttons, so the result looks just like a real chat on your phone.
Why build the chat instead of drawing it
Image editors and online generators make you position every bubble by hand. In FauxChat you simply type the messages and the layout takes care of itself: bubbles, profile photos, timestamps and read ticks all line up the way you expect.
Capture the perfect moment
Because the chat plays back message by message, you can stop at the exact moment you want, right before the punchline or just after the shocking reply, and take your screenshot there.
Use it responsibly
Fake screenshots are great for jokes, memes, stories and design mock-ups. Please do not use them to deceive, harass or impersonate real people.
How it works
- Create a chat in FauxChat with the contacts you need.
- Type the messages you want in the screenshot.
- Play the chat until the moment you want to capture.
- Press the side button and volume up on your iPhone to take a screenshot.
