Your own status, with the view count
Your own Status swaps the Reply bar for an eye and a count — you cannot reply to yourself, and WhatsApp never shows both.

Your own Status swaps the Reply bar for an eye and a count — you cannot reply to yourself, and WhatsApp never shows both.
Use this templateThe screen behind a contact's name — big portrait, the phone number as the identity, and the About line.
Use this templateThe green seal beside the name, which is the one thing people check before they trust a WhatsApp number.
Use this templateAn album tiled inside one bubble, then a reply quoting it. Two of the things a real thread does that a single-photo mockup cannot.
Use this templateSix faces edge to edge under WhatsApp's encryption line. The layout that fills the screen and lets the grid run under the buttons.
Use this templateA stranger keeps insisting you owe them for a pizza. Escalates politely, then not so politely.
Use this templateA group chat investigation with one very guilty silence.
Use this templateA conversation that runs over three days, with a date separator opening each one — the shape a long thread really has.
Use this templateThe family group chat receiving its ninth chain message of the day.
Use this templateThe ordinary case: one picture, a line under it, and a Reply bar. What most Status posts actually are.
Use this templateFour chats waiting and the timestamps gone green with them, which is the detail that makes a WhatsApp list look like WhatsApp rather than any other inbox.
Use this templateTwo missed calls and one you placed back, with the message that explains all three. The shape a thread takes when somebody could not reach you.
Use this templateA parcel-redelivery scam, laid out the way it really arrives. Built for security-awareness training decks.
Use this templateNo photo, no About, a number you do not recognise. The state a scam message arrives from, and the one worth teaching people to look at.
Use this templateVoice rather than video, so the camera button reads as off from the start. Useful when the point is that nobody could see anything.
Use this templateThe Unread chip selected instead of All. Useful for support articles about the filters, which is the part of the screen most people never touch.
Use this templateA file, a dropped pin and a contact card — the three attachments a real move-in thread is made of, and none of them a photo.
Use this templateA small business posting to every customer in its phonebook at once. Status carries this traffic in a way Stories never has.
Use this templateBoth toggles flipped: mic muted and camera stopped, so the buttons show their struck-through state. What most work calls actually look like.
Use this templateNo badges anywhere, one pinned chat at the top. The everyday state, and the one worth having when the screenshot is about something else on the page.
