Fake WhatsApp Status Generator

Photo status

Upload any picture and add a caption under it. Choose whether the photo fits the screen or fills it, and on iPhone whether the space around it takes the photo's own colours, as WhatsApp does, or stays black.

Text status

Type your message on one of WhatsApp's seven status colours or a colour of your own, and set the text size from 14 to 60 px.

The person and the time

Add the contact's name and profile photo, the time shown on iPhone ("9:12") and on Android ("21 minutes ago"), and a label after the time — such as "Close friends" — with a reshare icon and a chevron if you want them.

The reply bar

Show or hide the reply bar, change its text, add three quick reaction emoji inside it, and turn on the like button — with the green heart when the status is liked — and, on iPhone, the reshare button.

1. Choose iPhone or Android

Use the device buttons above the preview, or Layout Settings in Display Settings. The icons, the reply bar and the times follow that phone.

2. Create the update

In the Status tab, pick Photo and upload the picture, or pick Text, type the message and choose the background.

3. Set the progress bar

Under Progress, enter how many updates the contact has, which one is playing and how far it has played. Tick "Liked (green heart)" if you want the like shown.

4. Add the contact

In User Profile, enter the name, upload the profile photo and set the times and the label after the time.

5. Adjust the screen

In Display Settings, set the status bar (clock, network, signal and battery), the header buttons, the reply bar and the reactions.

6. Download or record

Save the screenshot with Download HD Image, or make a video with Screen Recording.
