    Abstract: A method starts with a processor receiving a content collection from a second computing device associated with a second user. A processor detects input of text data from a text interface overlaid on top of a display of the content collection and analyzes the text data to identify a first characteristic within the text data. The processor also accessing a plurality of personalized avatars associated with a respective avatar characteristic and determines a selection of personalized avatars that match the first characteristic by comparing the first characteristic against the respective avatar characteristic associated with each of the plurality of personalize avatars. The processor then generates a personalized avatar interface which includes the selection of personalized avatars containing an avatar characteristic that matches the first characteristic, overlays the selection of personalized avatars on the display of the content collection, and communicates a selected personalized avatar to the second computing device.

    Abstract: In some examples, a method includes maintaining first electronic contact data for a plurality of users of an interaction system, and relationship data relating to relationships between the plurality of users. The method also includes, using the first electronic contact data and the relationship data, automatically generating composite electronic contact data. The composite electronic contact data includes a first electronic contact record for a first user with which a specific user has a relationship as reflected in the relationship data, and a second electronic contact record for a second user with which the specific user has no relationship as reflected in the relationship data. The composite electronic contact data is presented within the interaction system in a manner that visually distinguishes between the first electronic contact record and the second electronic contact record. The specific user is enabled to initiate an electronic interaction with the second user.

    Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a voice chat system that provides voice chat functionality that enables users to dictate their messages, while delivering the resulting message to the intended recipient as both the associated audio and text content. When a user at a sender client device begins dictating a voice message, the voice chat system starts converting the received audio stream into text and, also, starts communicating the audio content together with the generated text to the recipient client device. The recipient user can listen to the voice message and read the text generated from the audio in real time. It is also possible for the recipient user to consume the voice message in a textual form only, if the sound at the client device is undesirable.

    Abstract: The technical problem of creating an augmented reality (AR) experience that, on one hand, is accessible from a camera view user interface provided with a messaging client and that, also, can perform a modification based on a previously captured image of a user, is addressed by providing an AR component. When a user, while accessing the messaging client, engages a user selectable element representing the AR component in the camera view user interface, the messaging system loads the AR component in the messaging client. The AR component comprises a target media content object, which can be animation or live action video. The loaded AR component accesses a portrait image associated with a user and modifies the target media content using the portrait image. The resulting target media content object is displayed in the camera view user interface.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, users' experience of engaging with augmented reality technology is enhanced by providing a process, referred to as face animation synthesis, that replaces an actor's face in the frames of a video with a user's face from the user's portrait image. The resulting face in the frames of the video retains the facial expressions, as well as color and lighting, of the actor's face but, at the same time, has the likeness of the user's face. An example face animation synthesis experience can be made available to uses of a messaging system by providing a face animation synthesis augmented reality component.

    Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a screen recording system configured to address the technical problem of enhancing usability of a screen recording process while preserving users' privacy in the messaging system. The screen recording system generates a camera view user interface including a screen recorder user selectable element, which is actionable to request recording of an output of a display system shown on a screen of a client device. When a user taps on or otherwise activates the screen recorder user selectable element, the screen recording system removes the foreground focus from the messaging client and causes to commence the recording of the output of the display system shown on the screen of the client device. The screen recording is automatically paused once the screen recording system detects a request to bring the messaging client to the foreground.
