Instagram Screenshot Mockups: Comments, Stories and DM Alternatives

Instagram screenshots are useful for social proof, creator drafts and storyboards. In iyzimock, the current Instagram templates focus on editable comment threads and story-style screenshots. If you need a private-message look, the iMessage template is the closest DM-style alternative.

What you can build today

  • Instagram comments - editable usernames, avatars, timestamps, likes and nested replies.
  • Instagram story - upload a story image and frame it with header and reply controls.
  • DM-style content - use the iMessage template for two-person message mockups.

Details that help Instagram-style mockups

  1. Use circular avatars and short usernames.
  2. Keep comment text conversational and concise.
  3. Use reply indentation only where it makes the thread easier to follow.
  4. Choose light or dark mode to match the context where the mockup will appear.

Make one in iyzimock

  1. Open the studio and pick Instagram or IG Story.
  2. Add comments, replies, usernames, avatars and like counts.
  3. For stories, upload the image you want to frame.
  4. Export PNG when the screenshot reads clearly.

Keep the copy fictional or clearly illustrative. Do not present mockups as real screenshots from a real person.
