The systems and methods include operations for receiving, with a messaging application, a request to authenticate a phone number from the given application, the phone number being input by a user to register an account with the given application; determining that the phone number received in the request matches a user phone number stored in a user account associated with the messaging application; in response to determining that the phone number received in the request matches the user phone number stored in the user account, transmitting a communication from the messaging application to the given application indicating that the phone number has been authenticated; and causing the given application to register the account for the user to enable the user to log into the given application.

Abstract: Method of generating contextual sending menu starts with processor causing first client device to display first and second portion of display screen in inactivated position. Processor receives selection from first user of first client device of chat selectable item in application interface. Chat selectable item is associated with communication interface of messaging system. In response to receiving the selection, processor generates media content item based on context of first client device and causes first portion and second portion of display screen to be displayed in an activated position by causing first portion to contract, and causing second portion to expand and to comprise a preview of media content item and selectable item associated with second user. Processor then receives from the first user selection of the selectable item associated with the second user, and transmits media content item to second client device. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a messaging application implemented on a client device, a request to access a first version of a third-party resource; determining that a second version of the third-party resource was previously authorized by the messaging application; in response to determining that the second version of the third-party resource was previously authorized by the messaging application, identifying, by the messaging application, user account information generated using the second version of the third-party resource; and merging, by the messaging application, the user account information generated using the second version of the third-party resource with the first version of the third-party resource.

Abstract: A method and a system include receiving a request to process a transaction, identifying, by the messaging application, transactional data based on the request, the transactional data corresponding to a user profile associated with the client device in an entity graph, determining a first desensitized data item associated with the user profile being included in the transactional data, providing for display a first user interface of the messaging application including a first user-selectable element corresponding to a completion of the transaction, receiving an indication of user selection of the first user-selectable element, and transmitting the transactional data to a secured processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to presenting, by one or more processors, a game result indicium and in response to a user-selection of the game result indicium, the system and method retrieves game play information related to a game play session. The system also generates, by the one or more processors, a game result overlay based on the game play information generated during the game play session, presents the game play overlay overlaid on a media content item to generate a composite media content item, and transmits the composite media item to a second user.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a messaging application, a request to access a third-party resource; in response to receiving the request, obtaining a user interface data corresponding to the third-party resource; generating, for display on a client device, a graphical user interface of the third-party resource based on the markup-language document; generating for display a menu with an option to authorize the third-party resource to access user data from the messaging application; and authorizing the third-party resource to access the user data from the messaging application in response to a user interaction with the menu.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing a reply interface with selectable stickers for sending in a message. The program and method provide for receiving, by a first device of a first user, a media content item provided by a second device of a second user; determining, in response to receiving the media content item, a set of stickers for displaying with the media content item; and displaying, by the first device, the media content item together with a first reply interface and a second reply interface for sending a reply message to the second device. The first reply interface includes the set of stickers, each of which is selectable by the first user for sending to the second device. The second reply interface includes an input box for sending message content to the second device.

Abstract: Method of generating customized graphics having reactions to electronic message content starts with application server causing a communication interface for a communication session to be displayed at a first client device and at a second client device, respectively.
