A user interacts with a messaging application on a client device to capture and send images to contacts or connections of the user, with a single user interaction. The messaging application installed on the client device, presents to the user a user interface. The user interface includes a camera view, and a face tray. The messaging application automatically populates the face tray with contact icons associated with one or more contacts. The messaging application identifies contacts associated with the user and attributes associated with the contacts. Based on one or more attributes, the messaging application may rank the contacts. Based on the rank associated with the contacts, the messaging application selects one or more contacts to include in the face tray to present to the user or to provide to the user from which the user can select contacts to include in the face tray.
