Mockly

Mockly is a web tool that creates realistic conversation mockups for popular messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Messenger, iMessage, and more. It allows you to simulate both one-on-one and group chats, complete with sender/receiver roles, timestamps, and styling. This tool is ideal for marketing visuals, social media campaigns, or storytelling.

Mockly stands out by being user-friendly. Unlike many other tools that can be confusing or even risky to use, Mockly offers a straightforward experience. It supports 13 platforms at launch, which is more than many other similar tools. Some of its templates, like the Instagram template, look very realistic, while others, like the Slack template, could use some improvement. Currently, Mockly mainly reproduces what conversations on these platforms would look like on the web, not on mobile.
