Resemble popular messenger with LaTeX macros

Question

I once saw a latex template, which you could use to create a Chat-Like document which has an appearance similar to current mobile chat applications (i.e. iMessage or Whatsapp).

I am of course looking for a static document compiled by latexor pdflatex and not a dynamic chat program.

I remember that I saw something similar done in LaTeX already, but I was not able to find it again.

I can imagine, that this has been done with tikz before.

Example images:

There seem to be at least Quotes with speech balloons and Simple speech bubbles, arrows or balloon like shapes in beamer. — moewe, Sep 09 '15 at 16:15
I also saw nearly very similar, and I am almost sure that was on TeX.SX, but I am unable to find the duplicate. — Fran, Sep 09 '15 at 16:26
Search for Gonzalo's answer (I bet he is that wizard who gives such beautiful things). — , Sep 09 '15 at 23:37
This is it, I am glad, that you found it. Shall I close this question again? — Lukas, Sep 10 '15 at 03:39
@Fran I knew there had to be something more similar to the three questions I found. Thank you very much for taking the time to find it. — moewe, Sep 10 '15 at 05:57
@Lukas There are not a duplicate question. Only an useful answer to another question that, moreover, was hard to find searching by key words as Messenger, Whatsapp, etc. Therefore, IMHO this question should be left open, but answered. — Fran, Sep 10 '15 at 08:39

A good starting point is the kik-android document class, as well as minimal working example of Brian Jacobs's answer in Showcase of beautiful typography done in TeX & friends

The above text links are enough because are from TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange, but just to compare with the image in the question, this is the result:
