Text Story App: Read and Create Chat Stories
Text stories tell a whole plot through a chat conversation, and you read them as the messages arrive. FauxChat is a text story app where you can both read stories from other users and write your own.
Read stories from the community
Browse public chats by category, open one and watch it unfold message by message. When you reach the end, rate the story so the best ones rise to the top.
Write your own
Every reader can become a writer. Create characters, write the chat, set the pacing and publish it to the public library for others to read, or keep it private and share it only with friends.
Stories for every mood
From romance and comedy to mystery and horror, chat stories work for any genre. The format makes every story feel personal, like you are reading someone's phone.
How it works
- Download FauxChat from the App Store.
- Browse the public chats and pick a story.
- Press play and read along as the messages arrive.
- Rate it, then try writing a story of your own.
