What is the UI Mockup ad format?

You're looking at a fake phone screen — complete with app icons, notification bubbles, or incoming messages — designed to look like the viewer just got pinged about your product. It borrows the visual language of iOS or Android alerts to feel less like an ad and more like something already living on your device. This works especially well when you're selling software, productivity tools, or services that naturally show up as notifications, because it lets people picture your product already integrated into their daily routine.
