Fake X DM Generator— Twitter DM mockups in seconds
Still searching for a fake Twitter DM generator? Twitter is X now, and its direct messages have a look worth getting right: blue bubbles, the blue checkmark, handles under the name and a pure black dark mode. MockupChat recreates the X DM screen for threads, explainers and product demos — free to design, no account needed.
X is a Pro platform: edit and preview for free, export with Pro for $9.99/month. Updated .

Every skin: iPhone & Android · Light & dark mode · Status bar time, battery & signal · Photos & big emoji · Your own avatars.
Blue checkmark and @handle
Mark a participant as verified and the blue checkmark appears next to their name. The subtitle shows an @handle generated from the name, or anything you type.
Sender line under groups
In group DMs, X prints the sender's name and the time under each block of messages. Your newest message gets “Seen” or “Sent” next to its time.
Lights-out dark mode
Dark mode is X's true-black theme with dark grey incoming bubbles, ideal for screenshots that sit inside a dark timeline.
Voice, links and reactions
Add voice messages, link preview cards for an article or a post, and emoji reactions in a small pill under the bubble.

FAQ
X generator questions

In People, switch on Verified for the account. The checkmark appears next to their name in the header, in X's blue.

Yes. Add three or more people and give the group a name. Each block of messages then shows who sent it and when.

Yes, as illustrations, parodies that are obviously parodies, and teaching material. Our Terms don't allow presenting a mockup as a real DM or attributing invented messages to real accounts.
Use it responsibly
MockupChat makes mockups for content, ads, memes, storytelling, app demos and presentations. Don't pass a mockup off as a real conversation, put words in the mouth of a real person or customer, or use it to mislead anyone. Where a screenshot could be taken for real, label it as an illustration. The details are in our Terms.
