It also has reactions, photos in bubbles, date labels, pauses, light and dark mode, a contact name and photo, and a start-on-screen divider for history already visible.
What format and resolution is the video?
A 1080×1920 H.264 MP4 at 30 fps, the vertical 9:16 size used by TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. The editor shows the full iPhone 17 Pro screen. The export crops it to 9:16: the status bar is cut at the top and part of the keyboard and toolbar at the bottom. The contact name is never cut.

No. The video has typing clicks and message sounds only. There is no AI voice or narration. Record your own voice and lay it over the MP4 in CapCut or another editor.
What does txtreel not do?
It does not support group chats, AI voice or narration, gameplay backgrounds, Android-style chats, or Snapchat, Messenger and Tinder looks. It makes one-to-one iPhone chats. Add your own voiceover or music in an editing app.
