Frequently asked questions

Can I use TextingStory online without downloading the app?
TextingStory itself requires the app. If you want to make texting-story videos online with no download, texting.video runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, and no account needed to export.
Is there a TextingStory web version or website?
TextingStory is distributed as a phone app rather than a web app. texting.video is the browser-based equivalent: the same fake-text-message videos, made and rendered on a web page.
Is texting.video free like TextingStory?
Yes, and every feature is free — image attachments, timestamps, read receipts and the rest. Free exports carry a small watermark; Pro ($9/mo) removes it.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
Neither. The editor loads in a browser tab and the video is rendered on your own device, so you can export without signing up or downloading software.
Can I use it on a PC or Mac?
Yes — it works on any computer with a browser. There is a dedicated walkthrough of the desktop workflow on the TextingStory for PC page.
