Create a fake chat between your friend and someone else where they say something embarrassing or funny.

Create a message informing them they won something:
Options:

Message:

The most elaborate prank: create a chat where "someone" sends your friend a screenshot of them talking badly about another person.
How to do it:

Layers of the prank: Your friend will believe someone leaked a private conversation.
Tips for Executing Pranks
1. Know Your Audience
Not all pranks work with all people. Make sure your friend has a sense of humor and can take it well.
2. Reveal the Prank in Time
Don't let the prank drag on too long. Reveal it's fake before causing real stress.
3. Make It Believable
- Use realistic times
- Include occasional typos
- Don't overdo the emojis
4. Save the Evidence
Record your friend's reaction for posterity (with their permission, of course).
5. Accept If It Doesn't Work
Sometimes pranks don't go as expected. If your friend doesn't laugh, don't push it.
