Signal's inset grid with the overflow in a thumbnail strip underneath, and a muted badge on the tile itself.

Fake Signal call & video call generator
Build a Signal call, which lays its faces out unlike any of the others. The grid is inset rather than edge to edge, the overflow drops into a thumbnail strip underneath, and a muted caller is badged on their own tile.

SignalFiction & humour
Three of you, all on camera
Small enough that the whole call fits the grid and the strip stays empty. The everyday shape of a Signal call.

A call you would want encrypted
Two people, everything muted but the one talking. Made for security training and for illustrating why the app exists.
Use this templateHow to make a Signal mockup
Start from an example
The three above cover what people make: a full group, a call with everything muted, and a voice call with no video at all.
Set who is on the call
Add or remove people in the Call section, name them, and give each one a camera view from the library or your own upload.
Set the state
Duration is free text. The microphone and camera toggles change how the controls draw, and muting individual people is per-person.
Choose the phone
iPhone or Android, with the status bar, battery and signal all editable — some of the call chrome follows the phone rather than the app.
Export
PNG at 1x free, up to 3x on Pro, device frame optional, and onto a sized canvas if it is going into a video.
How the Signal interface is put together
Our Signal 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.
The grid is INSET, with real gaps
A margin down both sides and clear space between tiles, each with a generous corner radius. WhatsApp and Messenger both run their faces to the screen edges with hairline seams. This is the fastest way to tell a Signal call from either.
Overflow goes into a THUMBNAIL STRIP
Past six people the extra callers appear as small rounded tiles in a scrolling row beneath the grid. Nothing else in this tool has one — the other apps simply let the grid run on under the controls.
The name is CENTRED, with a count beneath it
Group name on one line, then the number of people on a second in lighter grey. Signal is the only call screen here that tells you both who and how many. Messenger gives a name with no count; WhatsApp gives neither.
A muted caller is badged ON THEIR TILE
A small dark disc with a struck-through microphone, at the foot of that person's tile. The other apps only show your own microphone state, in the control row. If you want a screenshot that shows who is not talking, this is the app that shows it.
FOUR controls, and one is an overflow
Camera, microphone, three dots, end. WhatsApp has five and Messenger has five. Signal keeps the row short and hides the rest behind the dots, which fits an app whose whole design argument is restraint.
A grab bar, not a caret
The control sheet is topped with a fat rounded pill. WhatsApp puts a thin chevron there instead. Small, and one of those details that only looks wrong once you know.

Questions about Signal mockups
- What is the strip of small faces under the grid?
- The rest of the call. Signal shows six people in the grid and puts everyone else in a scrolling row underneath. Add more than six in the Call section and you will see it appear — no other app in this tool does this.
- How do I show that someone is muted?
- Toggle MUTED beside their name in the Call section, and a badge appears on their tile. This is Signal's own treatment; the other three apps in this tool do not badge other people, so the same setting shows up differently there.
- Can I make an encrypted-looking call for security training?
- That is one of the reasons this exists. Showing people what a real Signal call looks like, and what a faked one can look like, is exactly the material scam-awareness and journalism-safety training needs. Every export can also carry a Simulated label.
- Can I make the ringing screen?
- Not yet. Signal's own App Store listing carries a screenshot it names Video Calling, which is a call already in progress; nobody publishes the ringing screen. Rather than invent it we have left it out, which is the same call we made on a TikTok story. The one ringing screen this tool does draw is the iPhone's own, at /fake-iphone-call-generator — caller-ID apps screenshot their product sitting on top of it, so unlike this one it has references.
- Can I do a voice call?
- Yes. Pick Voice in the Call section and the camera control draws in its off state. The layout does not otherwise change, which matches the app.
- How many people can I put on a call?
- As many as you like. Six fill the grid and the rest go into the strip, so a large call still looks like a large call rather than an overflowing grid.
- Can I attribute a call to a real person?
- No, and our terms prohibit it. Use invented identities — every example on this page does — and label anything you publish as simulated.
- Can I export it at 9:16?
- Yes. The download dialog places the mockup on a 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 canvas with a background and margin, and PNG exports at 1x free, or up to 3x on Pro.
Use these responsibly
Everything made here is simulated. SocialMock has no connection to Signal 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.
