The green bubble conversation
The one everyone with an Android phone has had. Material light-blue bubbles with DARK text — not iMessage in another colour.

Fake Android message & RCS screenshot generator
Build an Android text conversation the way Google Messages actually draws one — pale Material blue bubbles with dark text rather than iMessage's saturated blue and white, runs that group with a squared corner instead of tails, and delivery spelled out in words.

The family group on RCS
A mixed group where the run corners and the centred date divider do the work no other skin does.

Waiting in for a delivery
A short practical thread showing worded delivery states — Sent, Delivered, Read — the way RCS spells them out.
Use this templateHow to make an Android Messages mockup
Start from an example
The three above are what people build: the green-bubble argument, waiting in for a delivery with the states spelled out, and a family group on RCS.
Set the contact
A person for a one-to-one, or turn on Group and name the thread. The Device section is already set to Android, so the frame gets a punch-hole camera and a gesture bar rather than a notch.
Write the messages
Set who sent each one and when. Consecutive messages from the same person group into a run automatically, with the squared corner on the last.
Set the delivery state
Put sent, delivered or read on your last outgoing message and the word appears underneath. There are no ticks here, deliberately.
Export
PNG at 1× free, up to 3× on Pro, the whole thread or one screen, with or without the Android frame.
How the Android Messages interface is put together
Our Android Messages skin is rebuilt from the real interface in code rather than traced from a screenshot, so the details that make it recognisable survive at export resolution. Here is what those details actually are.
Light blue bubbles with dark text
Google Messages fills your outgoing bubble with a pale Material blue and sets the text in near-black. iMessage uses a saturated blue with white text, and reaching for that is the single fastest way to make an Android mockup look like an iPhone wearing green. The contrast direction is the tell, not the hue.
Squared run corners instead of tails
Consecutive messages from one person group together, and the last bubble in a run has one squared corner on its own side. No other skin here does this — everyone else draws a tail or nothing. It is Google's answer to the same problem and it is unmistakable once you know to look.
Delivery is a word
“Sent”, “Delivered”, “Read” appear under your last outgoing message. RCS spells it out rather than using ticks, which is worth knowing because it is the detail that separates this from WhatsApp as much as the colour does.
Very round corners
20px on every bubble, which is rounder than iMessage and rounder than WhatsApp. Combined with the pale fill it gives the thread a softness that reads as Material immediately.
The date is a centred divider
Times appear as a small centred label between groups rather than on every bubble. Google keeps the thread clean, and a per-message timestamp on an Android mockup is one of the things a regular user would notice.
A pill composer with plus, sticker and mic
Fully rounded, with the attachment plus at one end and sticker and microphone at the other. It is a wider, softer composer than iMessage's, and it is the last thing in the screenshot — which is often where a mockup gives itself away.

Questions about Android Messages mockups
- Is this the green bubble or the blue one?
- Neither — that framing is an iPhone thing. On Android, your own messages are the pale blue ones and everyone else's are grey. Green bubbles only exist on the iPhone side of a cross-platform conversation, which is the joke the first example above is about.
- How do I show Delivered or Read?
- Set the receipt on your own message and the word appears beneath it. RCS spells the state out rather than using ticks, so there is no checkmark option — that would be WhatsApp or iMessage.
- Why do my bubbles look joined together?
- That is correct. Consecutive messages from one person group into a run, and the last one gets a squared corner on its own side. It is Google's alternative to drawing tails and it is one of the clearest Material tells.
- Can I make a group?
- Yes. Turn on Group, name the thread and add the people who speak in the People section. The family-group example above shows the run corners and the centred date divider doing their work.
- Is this good for smishing awareness?
- Yes. Text-message scams are the most common route into a lot of fraud, and a mockup lets you show one — with an invented sender and an obviously fake domain — instead of forwarding a live one that someone might tap.
- Can I fake a message from a real person or company?
- No, and our terms prohibit it. Attributing an invented message to a named real person or brand is impersonation. Every example on this page uses fictional people and companies.
- Can I export a long thread?
- Yes. The download dialog offers the whole conversation at its true height, exactly one screen, or fit-to-content, so nothing is cropped at the fold.
- Is there a watermark?
- Free downloads carry a small SIMULATED · socialmock.com label, burned into the pixels, at 1× resolution. Pro removes the label and unlocks 2× and 3×. You can also switch the label on yourself at any tier, which is worth doing if a viewer might take the image at face value.
Use these responsibly
Everything made here is simulated. SocialMock has no connection to Android Messages and cannot read, send or alter a real message. Do not use a mockup to impersonate anyone, pass it off as a genuine screenshot, or present it as evidence in any legal, workplace or academic matter — see our Acceptable Use policy. For general information about legal risk, read is it legal to fake a screenshot? If you publish somewhere a viewer might mistake it for real, switch on the “Simulated” label before exporting.
