Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for a setup component of a controller to add accessories to a new ecosystem (e.g., a grouping of one or more accessories and one or more controllers and/or a grouping of one or more accessories to an application) that are already added to another ecosystem. Such techniques can include the setup component maintaining a list of accessories for which the setup component has added to the other ecosystem. Using the list, the setup component adds the accessories in the list to the new ecosystem through communications with the accessories and an application corresponding to the new ecosystem.

Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for initially setting up an accessory with a controller. Such techniques have a setup component of a controller establish a relationship with the accessory and facilitate establishment of relationships between applications of the controller and the accessory. In some examples, the setup component causes an accessory management credential to be installed on the accessory so that the accessory can be configured by the setup component to establish a relationship with an application in communication with the setup component. In some examples, such communication between the application and the accessory occurs without further interactions with the setup component.

Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying messaging user interface that includes a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a plurality of electronic stickers, and a message-input area, detects a drag gesture that starts while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to an electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers, and in response, moves the electronic sticker in the first direction in accordance with movement of the drag gesture. Upon termination of the drag gesture while the focus selector is at a second location in the messaging user interface, if the second location is within the conversation transcript, the electronic device places the electronic sticker in the conversation transcript at a location based on the second location, and otherwise ceases to display the electronic sticker.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a message application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, and a first message region that includes a current version of a first message in the messaging session. The conversation transcript includes an indication that the current version of the first message is a revised version of the first message in the conversation transcript. In response to detecting an input that corresponds to a request to see versions of the first message, the electronic device displays a versions user interface that includes the current version of the first message and one or more prior versions of the first message.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a messaging application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and another user, a message-input area, and a representation corresponding to the other user. In response to detecting a first user input corresponding to the representation of the other user, a menu is displayed that contains an activatable menu item for initiating a payment action with the other user. While displaying the menu, in response to detecting a second user input corresponding to the activatable menu item for initiating a payment action with the first other user, a user interface configured to initiate sending of payment to, and/or requesting payment from, the first other user is displayed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing message redundancy for one or more devices. In one example, a device receives a message from a second device using a transmission protocol, the message comprising a control instruction for an accessory device and a message identifier. The device can transmit using the transmission protocol, a second message to the accessory device, the second message comprising the control instruction and a second message identifier. The device can receive a third message from the second device using a second transmission protocol, the second message comprising a second control instruction for the accessory device and a third message identifier. The device can compare the third message identifier with the message identifier to determine whether the second control instruction is a duplicate of the control instruction. The device can determine whether to transmit the third message to the accessory device based on the comparison.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a message application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a message-input area, the conversation transcript including a plurality of messages and a plurality of message regions, each message region containing a respective message of the plurality of messages. In response to a first input corresponding to a first respective message in the conversation transcript, displaying an indication that the first respective message has been selected. In response to one or more second inputs, including message composition inputs, displaying in a second message region in the conversation transcript a second message corresponding to the message composition inputs, and displaying a grouping indicia that connects the first respective message region with the second message region.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging interface. The messaging user interface includes a search affordance and a conversation between a user of the device and another user. While displaying the messaging interface, the device detects activation of the search affordance. In response, the device ceases displaying the messaging interface and displays a search interface. The search user interface includes a search field and categorized content items. The categorized content items include a content item stored on the device and a content item from the Internet. While displaying the search interface, the device detects selection of a first item in the categorized content items; and, afterwards, displays the first item in the conversation. The device transmits the first item to the device that corresponds to the other user in the messaging session. The other user's device displays the item in a conversation that corresponds to the messaging session.

Abstract: An electronic device, in response to receiving a first message from an electronic device that corresponds to another user, displays the first message in a first message region in a conversation transcript. In response to a first input by a contact at a location of the first message in the conversation transcript, the device displays plurality of acknowledgement options in an acknowledgement selection affordance at a location that corresponds to the first message region. In response to a second input by a second contact at a location of a first acknowledgement option in the acknowledgement selection affordance, the device applies the first acknowledgement option to the first message and transmits information that causes the electronic device that correspond to the other user to apply the first acknowledgement option to a corresponding first message in a conversation transcript that corresponds to the messaging session.
