  • Patent number: 11513677
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220365671
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface that corresponds to a first application, and detects on a touch-sensitive surface a first gesture that includes movement of a contact in a respective direction on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first gesture, the device, in accordance with a determination that the movement of the contact is in a first direction, replaces display of the first user interface with display of a second user interface that corresponds to a second application; and in accordance with a determination that the movement of the contact is in a second direction, distinct from the first direction, displays a first system user interface for interacting with a system-level function.

  • Publication number: 20220245618
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a computer system displaying a user interface that includes a representation of a card, where the representation of the card includes a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed. The plurality of layers include a first layer with a first visual asset and a second layer with a second visual asset. A first set of visual effects is applied to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset. A second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, is applied to the second visual asset.

  • Publication number: 20220179553
    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.

  • Patent number: 11320982
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface on a display, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a keyboard, a message-input area, and a digital image affordance. While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects an input that activates the digital image affordance. In response, the device replaces display of the keyboard with display of a plurality of digital images, the plurality of digital images including one or more digital images stored in memory and a live preview image from a digital camera. The device detects an input that selects the live image displayed within the plurality of digital images. In response, the device captures a digital image with the digital camera, while maintaining display of the conversation transcript.
