Fake Text Messages

​

Step by step

1

Pick the chat app

Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram or X DMs — the bubbles, colours and header match the real app. Then choose a Light or Dark theme.

2

Style the chat card

• As messages arrive (①) — Card grows (the card grows with each message, then clears and starts again) or Card scrolls (the card keeps one size and the conversation scrolls inside it).
• Corner radius and Card opacity (②) — lower the opacity to let the gameplay show through the card.
• Chat header name (③) — the name at the top of the chat, for example Mom 💐. Leave it empty to show the first person on the left, following their nickname changes.
• Message sounds (④) — a send or receive sound on every bubble, with a volume slider and a preview of both sounds. A silent chat feels broken, so it’s on by default.

3

Write the conversation — or let AI do it

Write it with AI has two modes (①):

• Describe an idea — who is texting, what goes wrong and how it ends. Starters help: A plumber warns a customer her pipe will burst…, A cleaner is accused of stealing a watch…, A scammer sends money “by accident”…
• Paste a conversation — paste a chat you already wrote. Your wording is kept and one line becomes one bubble, exactly as you wrote it. Direct a line with tags like [angry], [sfx: boom] or [voice: Adam].

Pick the length (③, from 30 seconds to 20 minutes), turn on With photos (④) if you want the AI to drop “photo evidence” into the chat at the turning point, and click Write the conversation (⑤). Writing the script is free; with photos on, the button shows how many photos and the most they can cost — you only pay for the photos you get.

Cast who's texting

• Every person has a name and a side (②): THEM (bubbles on the left) or YOU (bubbles on the right).
• Each person keeps their own voice (③) for every message they send. Shuffle voices (①) recasts everyone at once; Add person creates group chats.
• Base voice (④) sets the delivery: Texting, Unhinged, Deadpan or Warm. Fine-tune adjusts it further.

Edit the conversation by hand

Below the people, the Conversation list shows every message (up to 24,000 characters, with a running length estimate). Use the buttons (⑤ above):

• Add message — choose who sends it and type the text.
• Add time skip — a divider like 2 hours later… that jumps past the boring part.
• Add nickname change — rename a contact mid-chat (Mike → Liar 🤥), a classic reveal moment.

Photo evidence in the chat is generated by AI from a short description — open a photo to view it, describe it differently to reshoot it, or remove it.

Background and music

Pick background gameplay (or upload your own) and music, then Create video.

​

Writing a chat that works

• The first message is the hook. “Why is your location at my sister’s house?” beats “Hey”.
• Short bubbles, fast rhythm. Real people send three short messages, not one long paragraph.
• Use time skips to jump past boring parts and build tension.
• Save the reveal — a photo, a nickname change or a final one-word reply — for the end.
