  • Publication number: 20200382566
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for placing a text message in a display. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving, at a text messaging system, a first text message and displaying the first text message in a display area of the text messaging system; receiving, at the text messaging system, a second text message, and displaying the second text message, below the first text message, in the display area; sending a response text message from the text messaging system; and changing an order of the first, second, and response text messages for display in the display area based on an analysis of a timing of the response text message. In embodiments, the method automatically infers the message a user is replying to. In embodiments, the user interacts with the messages to indicate that the message is a reply to an earlier message.
