Abstract: A computer-implemented method of displaying a user interface comprises: displaying a preview of a message on a screen; receiving a discard motion; displaying a discard instruction with varying opacity during the receiving, the opacity increasing in proportion to a range of the discard motion; reaching a minimum motion threshold; and discarding the message.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting a gesture made via a display of a first computing device during display of a message comprising first media content, determining that the gesture triggers a second graphical user interface to respond to the message by opening a camera view to capture a second media content, and based on determining that the gesture triggers the second graphical user interface, causing the second graphical user interface to display on the display of the first computing device comprising the camera view. The systems and methods further provide for detecting capture of the second media content via the second graphical user interface comprising the camera view and sending a reply message comprising the second media content in response to the first message.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of data transmission comprises: closing a displayed message on a display; displaying an inbox; displaying a reply window in the inbox; receiving reply input in the reply window; and transmitting the reply input to a sender of the closed message.

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. The communication session is between a plurality of client devices. The communication interface includes a chat presence bar that includes a plurality of presence indicators associated with the client devices, respectively. Application server receives content for an electronic message from first client device or second client device and generates a customized graphic based on the content for the electronic message and a user identifier for first client device. Application server causes the customized graphic to be displayed on the chat presence bar of the communication interface displayed on the second client device. The customized graphic included in a first presence indicator associated with the first client device.

Abstract: A system to dynamically generate and cause display of composite user identifiers is described. Embodiments of the present disclosure related to systems for: receiving an identification of a user profile from a client device; retrieving user identifiers associated with the user profile and a user profile associated with the client device; selecting an animation script from among a plurality of animation scripts, the animation script including a set of graphical elements; generating a composite user identifier based on the user identifiers associated with the user profile and the user profile associated with the client device; and causing display of a presentation of the composite user identifier at the client device, wherein the presentation is based on the animation script.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations including: retrieving a plurality of content items; determining a first category of a first content item in the plurality of content items; selecting a first presentation arrangement from a plurality of presentation arrangements based on the first category determined for the first content item; and presenting the first content item to a user according to the selected first presentation arrangement.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interfaces to facilitate communication between users via multiple modes of electronic communication. The system displays a conversation view that presents messages exchanged between a first user and at least one other user in an electronic chat conversation. The conversation view includes an interactive element to enable the first user to initiate a video call with the at least one other user. Based on receiving user input corresponding to an interaction with the interactive element, the system initiates the video call with the at least one other user. The system displays an active call view to facilitate the video call with the at least one other user. The system toggles from displaying the active call view to displaying the conversation view in response to further user input.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations including: retrieving, by one or more processors, a plurality of content items; identifying a list of friends of a user on a messaging application; obtaining reaction data for each friend in the list of friends, the reaction data identifying a set of content items to which respective ones of the friends in the list of friends reacted; selecting, based on the reaction data, a first content item in the plurality of content items that is included in the set of content items to which respective ones of the friends in the list of friends reacted; and presenting the first content item to the user in a presentation arrangement of a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations including: retrieving, by one or more processors, a plurality of content items; identifying a first content item from the plurality of content items to which a user has previously reacted; determining a category of the first content item; selecting a second content item in the plurality of content items that is associated with the determined category of the first content item to which the user has previously reacted; and presenting the second content item to the user in a presentation arrangement of a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations including: retrieving, by one or more processors, a plurality of content items; identifying a list of friends of a user on a messaging application; obtaining viewership data for a first friend in the list of friends, the viewership data identifying a set of content items which the first friend has viewed; selecting, based on the viewership data, a first content item in the plurality of content items that is included in the set of content items which the first friend has viewed; and presenting the first content item to the user in a presentation arrangement of a graphical user interface.
