Abstract: This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that provide an administrative message within a messaging thread indicating to a user that a viewer interacted with the user's ephemeral content. By providing the administrative message, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems create an indicator for a user within a messaging thread concerning views of (or other interactions with) ephemeral content that the user shared outside of the messaging thread. In some embodiments, for example, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems further provide a responsive administrative message to a messaging thread indicating to a user that a viewer responded to the user's ephemeral content item.
