About this fake imessage generator
The fake iMessage generator recreates the look of an iPhone Messages thread: the contact's name and avatar at the top, blue bubbles for your side, grey ones for theirs, and small status text under your latest message. Add, edit and reorder messages until the conversation tells exactly the story you want.
People use it for wholesome jokes, comic strips and short videos where a text exchange is the punchline. You don't need an iPhone or an Apple account, your draft stays in your browser, and every image gets a Prank watermark to keep things honest. Export at 3x for crisp bubbles.
How to make a fake iMessage Text (for fun)
- Pick a prank idea. Start from one of 5 ready-made ideas, or keep the default imessage text.
- Edit the details. Change names, avatar, messages, times, counts and theme in the Content panel — the preview updates as you type.
- Check the preview. On a phone, switch to the Preview tab; the mockup scales to fit your screen.
- Download or share. Save a PNG or JPG at 2x or 3x, copy it, or share it straight from your phone. Then reveal the joke!

Keep it a joke. Mockly makes parody images for fun. Never use a mockup to deceive, defame, harass or defraud anyone, and don't pose as a real person's or brand's official account. Every export carries a small “Prank · altftool.com” watermark. Not affiliated with iMessage or any app shown.

Can I show 'Read' under a message?
Yes, you can set a status on your messages so the thread looks delivered or read.

They should. Every image carries a small “Prank · altftool.com” watermark, and a good prank is revealed quickly. Mockly is for parody and fun, never for deceiving anyone.
Is it legal to make a fake iMessage screenshot?
Making a parody image for a joke is generally fine. Using one to deceive, defame, harass, impersonate or defraud someone can be illegal and breaks every platform's rules — so don't.
