  • Publication number: 20220408231
    Abstract: A service for providing messaging extension apps can be an online store that can be browsed and searched for the apps. The store uses extension app identifiers which are related to app identifiers that are sent between devices in a conversation of messages so that a receiving device can, when it does not have the extension app installed to interact with received content, use the extension app identifier to download and install the required extension app. In one embodiment, the download and install can occur while the messaging app remains the foreground app, and the messaging app adds an icon of the newly installed extension app into a browsable tray in the UI of the messaging app.

  • Patent number: 10635299
    Abstract: An electronic device detects a gesture input while displaying first content including a first hyperlink in a first window and a second window that includes second content. In response to detecting the gesture input, and in accordance with a determination that the gesture input corresponds to a first gesture type on the first hyperlink, the electronic device replaces display of the first content in the first window with display of third content that is associated with the first hyperlink. In response to detecting the gesture input, and in accordance with a determination that the gesture input corresponds to a second gesture type on the first hyperlink, the electronic device replaces display of the second content in the second window with display of the third content that is associated with the first hyperlink.
