WhatsApp chat mockups for client work: what you can use

MockClip's WhatsApp template recreates WhatsApp, a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc., and MockClip's licence grants no rights in it on any plan, so it is for your own content, not for client videos or paid ads. For a chat scene in client work, MockClip's terms point to the brand-free Text Chat on the Studio plan.

Text Chat is an original messaging app and does not copy WhatsApp's look. If a brief needs WhatsApp's own design, MockClip's licence does not cover it, and the terms say to check the owner's brand rules first.

Which template for which job

For the client's video: Text Chat

Most client briefs that say "a WhatsApp chat" need a believable phone conversation, not WhatsApp itself: a customer ordering, a support question answered, a booking confirmed. Text Chat does that under the client's colour: typing indicators, reactions, read receipts and images, in light or dark.

It is a one-to-one chat. There is no brand-free group chat yet, so a scene that needs several members is a WhatsApp-template job for your own content only.

For your own channel: the WhatsApp template

The WhatsApp template, group chats included, is for your own content: prank and story videos, lessons, explainers, reviews. Free, Pro and Creator cover your own content, monetised posts included.

MockClip is not affiliated with Meta. Don't present a clip as a real conversation where that would mislead people, and don't suggest that WhatsApp or Meta endorses you or your product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a fake WhatsApp chat in a client's ad?

Not under MockClip's licence. The WhatsApp template recreates a design that is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc., MockClip is not affiliated with Meta, and its licence grants no rights in that brand on any plan. MockClip's terms say to use a brand-free app for ads and client work, and to check the owner's brand rules before using their design in advertising.

Is there a brand-free app that looks like WhatsApp?

No. MockClip's brand-free Text Chat is an original design that does not copy WhatsApp's colours, ticks or layout. It covers the same one-to-one conversation: typing, reactions, read receipts and images, in your client's colour.

What can I use the WhatsApp template for?

Your own content on any plan, monetised posts on your own channels included: story and prank videos, lessons, explainers and reviews. Don't present a clip as a real conversation where that would mislead people, and don't suggest that WhatsApp endorses you.

Which plan do I need for client work?

Studio. On Free, Pro and Creator, MockClip videos are for your own content, monetised posts on your own channels included. Work for clients and paid ads need Studio (€19.90/month), which also removes the watermark from the brand-free apps. Every brand-free app can be tried on any plan with a watermark, and every paid plan can get a company invoice with your VAT number.
