How it works

  1. Write the chat

    One line per message: Name: message. Add (pause 2) before a punchline. Or start from one of 1085 funny chats.

  2. Pick the look

    WhatsApp style is already picked. Choose iPhone or Android, light or dark, and whose phone it is.

  3. Export and share

    Download an MP4, GIF or WebM, or share it straight to TikTok, Instagram or WhatsApp from your phone.

What you get

  • Green sent bubbles with tails and timestamps
  • Grey ticks that turn blue when a message is read
  • “typing…” under the name, and words typed into the input box
  • Group chats with coloured names
  • The end-to-end encryption notice and the “Today” chip
  • Light or dark mode, iPhone or Android

Questions

Can I paste a real WhatsApp chat?

Yes. Export a chat from WhatsApp (without media) and paste the text. Both the iPhone and Android export formats are read automatically, times included.

Is this made by WhatsApp?

No. Faux Reel is an independent tool for fun and parody, not linked to WhatsApp or Meta. Please don’t use it to fool or hurt anyone.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no app to install, no ads. Everything runs in your browser.

Does my chat get uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is made on your own phone or computer. What you type never leaves it.

Is there a watermark?

A tiny “fauxreel” in the corner and a short card at the end, so people know it’s a joke.
