Abstract: Method of generating a contextual action bar starts with processor causing an application icon associated with an application to be displayed by a display screen of a client device. Processor receives selection of application icon from a user and determines a context of client device. Context can comprise identification of application, type associated with application, or type of interface including application icon. Processor generates action bar based on the context of the client device, causes a first portion of display screen to display an application interface associated with the application, and causes a second portion to display the action bar that is associated with a messaging system. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Method of generating animation overlays starts with a processor causing a communication interface for a communication session to be displayed at client devices. The processor receives from a first client device an animation sending request and causes an animation sending interface to be displayed in the communication interface of the first client device. The animation sending interface comprises animation overlay icons. Each of the animation overlay icons comprise a first avatar associated with the first user. The processor receives from the first client device a selection of a first animation overlay icon and causes the first animation overlay corresponding to the first animation overlay icon to be displayed as an overlay on the communication interface of each of the plurality of client devices. The first animation overlay is an animation that includes the first avatar. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of sharing an item from an external resource comprises displaying a user interface for the external resource in a messaging application and navigating within the external resource based on user input received in the user interface presented in the messaging application. Upon receipt of selection of an item or state within the external resource based on user input, the identity of one or more recipients is obtained. Information representing the item or state is then transmitted to a device of at least one recipient and information representing the item or state is displayed in a chat interface of a messaging application running on a device of the recipient(s).

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging software and systems by generating and selecting customized media content items (such as images) with avatars of different users within electronic messages based on the context of communications between the users. For example, users of different mobile computing devices can exchange electronic communications with each other, and the system can analyze these communications to present options for media content items containing the users' avatars based on content in the communications, actions or events taken by or involving the users, or combinations thereof. The users may select such media content items for inclusion in their electronic communications.
