Android Text Message Generator

Write a conversation and get the Google Messages screen built around it — Material app bar, filled blue bubbles, delivery label, and the Android status bar. Switch to dark, add a typing indicator, and export at real Pixel and Galaxy resolutions. Made for tutorials, social posts, and app storyboards.

What this is for

Most message mockups online are iPhone mockups, which is a problem if the story you’re telling happens on Android — a tutorial for an Android app, a support article with Pixel screenshots, or a social post aimed at an audience that mostly carries Galaxies. Android is the majority of phones in the US, and its Messages app looks distinctly different from iMessage.

This renders the Google Messages screen around a script you write, so it matches the platform you’re actually documenting.

Where it differs from iMessage

  • The clock is on the left of the status bar, not the right, and the signal indicator is a solid wedge rather than iOS’s bars.
  • The app bar carries the contact’s avatar and a subtitle line, where iMessage centers a small avatar with the name beneath.
  • Sent bubbles are a filled Google blue, and the screen ends in a gesture pill instead of the iOS home indicator.

Writing a thread that reads right

  • Keep messages short and let both people talk — flip the side toggle beside a message to hand it to the other person.
  • Match the delivery label to the moment. "Sent", "Delivered", and "Read" each imply a different point in the exchange.
  • Pick the right device. A Pixel and a Galaxy write different resolutions; the export button shows exactly what you’ll get.

Questions

What is this for?

Tutorials, social content, app storyboards, and marketing examples that need a Google Messages screen rendered around your own script, on an Android device instead of an iPhone.

How is it different from the iMessage version?

The whole interface differs — Android puts the clock on the left, uses a Material app bar with the contact's avatar, renders sent bubbles in a filled Google blue rather than iMessage blue, and ends in a gesture pill instead of a home indicator. Android is most of the phones in the US, so the right chrome matters.

How do I write the conversation?

Type each message on its own row and use the toggle beside it to set who said it — you (blue, right) or the other person (gray, left). Add a message adds the next row and flips the side automatically, and the up and down arrows reorder them.

What resolution does it export?

The real pixel resolution of the chosen device — 1080 × 2400 for a Pixel, 1080 × 2340 for a Galaxy S, up to 1440 × 3120 for a Quad-HD flagship.

Does my conversation get sent anywhere?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and there is no server behind it. What you type stays in the page and disappears when you close the tab.

What would make this tool better? A device that's missing, a detail that looks wrong, an option you went looking for and didn't find — all of it is useful. Send a note.
