Interactive Chat Stories
An interactive chat story feels like you are reading someone's messages as they come in. FauxChat plays every story live, with typing pauses, photos, missed calls and reactions, so you experience it instead of just reading it.
Stories that happen in real time
Writers control the delay before each message, so a story can build slowly and then explode into a flurry of replies. It is the closest thing to reading over someone's shoulder.
Rich, immersive messages
Photos and videos, a call that went unanswered, a message that was suddenly deleted: these moments pull you into the story in a way plain text cannot.
Rated by readers
Every public story can be rated after you finish it, which helps everyone find the most gripping chats in each category.
How it works
- Install FauxChat on your iPhone.
- Pick an interactive story from the public chats.
- Press play and follow the conversation live.
- Rate the story and discover the next one.
