How to Create Conversations with Premium Styles in Mock DM (Pro Guide)
Premium conversation styles live in the Pro tier. Use this updated walkthrough to build text-based conversations (no media attachments) and export them for posts or stories without a watermark.
Quick setup (Pro required for premium styles)
- Select a premium style: Choose from premium styles (Pro). Pick dark or light mode; dark usually looks better on mobile.
- Set the status bar: Adjust time, battery, Wi‑Fi, and cellular to match your story (e.g., 09:41 for mid-morning).
- Add participants: Name both sides, upload avatars that match the context, and mark who is "Me."
- Write the conversation: Keep messages short, alternate senders, and space timestamps naturally. Emojis are supported; this builder is text-only for messages.
- Optional: AI draft: Generate a full conversation from a prompt, then edit any line manually.
- Preview and export: Play the conversation to check pacing. Export an image—Pro exports have no watermark. Video export is coming soon.
Tips for better conversations
- Pace the chat: 1–5 minute gaps feel natural; add a longer pause before an important reply.
- Keep it casual: Mix short sentences and emojis. Avoid perfectly polished marketing copy.
- Align the time: Set the first timestamp to a moment that fits the scenario you're showing.
- Match avatars to context: Use faces or logos that fit the conversation topic.
- Pick the right format: PNG for feed posts or decks; video export (coming soon) for stories/reels.
Common pitfalls to avoid
- All messages landing in the same minute
- Overly long paragraphs in every bubble
- Forgetting to adjust the status bar (time, battery) to match the scene
- Using image export for stories when video performs better
