Need it live on set?
A screenshot works for a static insert. When the screen has to behave during the take, with messages arriving on a line, the actor typing, a call ringing on cue and a reset between takes, use PhoneGuy. It runs the scene on the actor's real phone and is controlled from a second device. See how to fake text messages for film and fake incoming calls on cue.
