Pre-filled fake Instagram Story with a question sticker ('ask me anything' format). Free template.
Question sticker templates are reliably high-engagement content because viewers can answer anonymously — and once a few do, social proof drives more. The "ask me anything" prompt is the genre standard, but the format works for any open-ended question.
This template uses a clean dark-teal background to keep focus on the sticker itself. The 1,204-view count reads as a small but engaged account where this kind of audience interaction makes sense. Swap the prompt to anything inviting: "drop your favourite book," "what's your hot take on...", "send me your worst date stories."
Use for engagement bait, AMA content, "your replies, my answers" series setups, or as a way to mine real content prompts from your audience for follow-up posts.

Fake Story screenshots are one of the most effective cold-open frames in short-form video. A single sticker (poll, question, viewer count) tells the entire story setup in one frame.
Mocking real engagement-bait Stories ('this or that', 'ask me anything') with absurd options or invitations. The format works because real engagement-bait is so universally recognizable.
Curated soft-Story screenshots with warm-tone backgrounds and minimal text. Pinterest staple — used as moodboard fuel and aesthetic-feed visual content.
3 answers about this template.
No, for regular Stories. Instagram only notifies on screenshots of view-once or allow-replay disappearing media in DMs, NOT for regular Stories (even Close Friends Stories). Full breakdown: /blog/does-instagram-notify-story-screenshots.
Yes. Toggle the eye icon and set any view count. For realism, match the number to the implied account size — '47' for personal, '1,247' for mid-tier, '1.2M' for viral-parody content.
For parody, comedy, fiction, education — yes, in essentially every country. Don't impersonate a specific real Instagram user's Story publicly or fabricate Stories as evidence in real disputes.

Open the Instagram Story generator →PostMock is a free browser-based generator for fake chat and phone screenshots. It renders a realistic mockup of a messaging app — WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram DM, Snapchat, Discord, Telegram, Messenger, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, ChatGPT, Claude — from text you type, and exports it as a high-resolution PNG. It is used for memes, parody, comedy content, social media posts, UI mockups, presentations and app-design previews.
Yes, and there is never a watermark on any export. Without an account you get 5 free PNG downloads, plus 3 more for each of up to 2 shares (11 in total). After that a free Google sign-in is required, and signed-in users have unlimited downloads. Video exports require sign-in from the first download. There is no paid tier and no subscription.
No install. PostMock runs entirely in the browser on desktop and mobile — there is no app to download and nothing to configure. Editing and preview happen client-side; the screenshot is rendered in your own browser rather than on a server. You can start typing and see the preview without an account.
Describe a scenario in plain language ("two friends arguing about pizza") and PostMock writes the whole conversation for you, in short, natural, realistic messages. It can also continue an existing conversation by writing the other person's next replies. Tweets can be generated the same way.
18 generators in total: 12 chat apps (iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Snapchat, Messenger, Telegram, Discord, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, ChatGPT and Claude), plus tweet/X posts, iPhone call and FaceTime screens, Instagram Stories, WhatsApp Status, and iPhone lock screens with notifications. It also has 80 ready-made scenario templates and 27 how-to guides. A separate tool downloads public Instagram reels and videos.
PostMock is built for parody, comedy, memes, content creation, mockups and design previews, and it says so on every page. Using a fabricated screenshot to deceive, defraud, impersonate a real person, harass someone, or manufacture evidence is wrong and in many places illegal — that is not what the tool is for and it is explicitly discouraged in the product. Creators should label parody content as parody.
Pre-filled fake Instagram Story with a question sticker ('ask me anything' format). Free template. It is a ready-made Instagram Story scenario in the Instagram Story & WhatsApp Status category on PostMock: the conversation is already written, so you open it, adjust the names and details, and export a PNG.
No. A template is a starting point — every message, name, avatar, timestamp and battery level stays editable once it opens in the editor, and you can add or delete messages freely.
