About this app

Join 20 million happy users and unleash your creativity!

1. Write a text conversation in TextingStory
2. Create a video with your story
3. Watch it and share it

TextingStory allows you to write conversations just like any messaging app, except you can switch side by swiping left or right over the message area. You can also press the characters' names.

Take all the time you need to write your texting stories. The videos are automatically accelerated for a consistently fast-paced result!

Every key stroke is recorded so feel free to play with corrections, hesitations or misspells!

This is a simple app with endless possibilities.

TextingStory pioneered a new video format in 2016 and has become wildly successful on various social media, with some users getting tens of millions of views of their videos. It got its own Know Your Meme entry and T-Mobile even reproduced it in a 2019 Superbowl ad.

TextingStory is also a popular app in education for spicing up course material or hands on activities with students.

I love this app, used it for years and have bought everything! But the new update has a bunch of bugs with the name feature (mainly, I haven't found anything else yet), unfortunately. The main problem being that switching between stories can cause some text to swap?? Also there's the double name comment problem, where there's the name in the comment part, enlarged, then there's the tiny name, which is annoying. Please fix this! :(

This is a really fun game, and I like it very much! But there is a HUGE bug. Whenever I open the app, it almost never loads, and when I tap on the screen. It shows me the "Clear story" and "Ok" options, but when I click on them, nothing happens. You can't interact with anything, you can't move the screen, and it doesn't show your stories. Please fix this!! :(

I love this app! My only problems are that I can't make more than one story at a time, the videos take awhile to load, and I wish the extra little things were free on samsung(my phone) because I've heard they are free on apple. The second one might just be me, cause I'm always on the go so I rarely have good internet connection. I could be wrong about the last one. I just heard that was true, not sure if it actually was. Overall a great app though!
