Have you ever wanted to prank your friends with a fake Snapchat notification? Or maybe you want to add a realistic touch to a movie or TV show you’re making. Whatever your reason, creating a fake Snapchat notification is easy and fun. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to make fake notifications for both iOS and Android.
What You’ll Need
To make your fake Snapchat notification, you’ll need two apps: Picsart and Phonto. Both are available for free on both the App Store and Google Play.
How to Make Lockscreen Notifications
First, take a screenshot of your lockscreen to get the correct date and time. Then, import the background that you want to add your fake notification to and select “add photo.” Add the black screenshot of your lockscreen and click on “blend” –> “lighten” or “screen.” Increase the size of the photo overlay and click “apply.”
Next, click on “sticker” and search for “notification.” There are many types to choose from, so select the one that best fits your needs. Tap the sticker to add it to your photo, then adjust the size and placement to make it look as realistic as possible. Some stickers are not the same color, so ensure that you also adjust the brightness for it to match.
How to Add Text to Your Notifications
Each notification is slightly different, so we’ll show you how to add text to each one individually. The font used by these apps is called HELVETICA NEUE, and it is pre-installed on Phonto. Tap the screen to add text, type your message, then change the font to Helvetica Neue. Click “done.”
For the contact name, click on “style,” Text – black, Stroke – black, Alpha 1.00. This gives the contact name a bold outline. To add the message, tap the screen to add text again. The message uses the same font and color, but there’s no need to make it bold.
WhatsApp messages are the same font and color as iMessages. Follow the same steps. For longer messages, decrease the size or add a second line of text to make it look realistic. For Snapchat messages, copy the person’s display name and paste it in the text box on Phonto. Add it to your notification.
For screenshot notifications, use the blank notification sticker from Picsart. Paste the contact name, and then type “took a screenshot.” Add it to your notification and reduce the size. Instagram also shows multiple types of notifications. This type of notification shows up when you have more than one Instagram account. Ensure that you are using the right colors and sizes for each message.
Conclusion
Creating a fake Snapchat notification is easy and fun. With just two apps, Picsart and Phonto, you can make a realistic-looking notification that is sure to fool your friends. Whether you want to use it for a prank or add a realistic touch to a movie or TV show, this guide has everything you need to get started.
