Developer Maurice Kleine launched Mockly, a user-friendly web app for generating believable fake conversations on various platforms like iMessage, Discord, Instagram, X, Tinder, and WhatsApp.
Unlike many older, less user-friendly fake message generators, Mockly stands out with its usability and support for 13 platforms at launch, surpassing alternatives like Postfully, which only supports iMessage.
While some templates are more convincing than others, Mockly primarily replicates web-based conversation layouts, not mobile versions. Despite potential misuse, the app's imperfections and general awareness of fake DM capabilities may limit its impact in the age of AI-generated disinformation.
