Abstract: A method for operating a messaging system for sending modifiable videos including a self-image of a user is provided. The method includes providing a face outline to assist with taking the self-image. Instructions relating to a light level, a facial expression, a face position, and a face size may be provided to the user. A smile measurement is displayed to enable the user to adjust the current smile level to a target smile level. A stock video may be created using an actor wearing a mask and facing a video camera. The mask is a marker for insertion of the self-image. The stock video is uploaded to a database of stock videos and, after selection by a user, is combined with a self-image to form a personalized video.

Abstract: A system for searching and ranking modifiable videos in a multimedia messaging application (MMA) is provided. In one example embodiment, the system includes a database configured to store modifiable videos, the modifiable videos being associated with text messages and rankings, a processor, and a memory storing processor-executable codes, wherein the processor is configured to implement the following operations upon executing the processor-executable codes: receiving, via the MMA, an input of a user; selecting, based on the input, a list of relevant modifiable videos from the database; rendering, via the MMA, the list of relevant modifiable videos for viewing by the user; determining that the user has shared, via the MMA, a modifiable video from the list; storing an information concerning the list and the shared modifiable video into a statistical log; and updating, based on the information in the statistical log, the rankings of the modifiable videos in the database.

Abstract: Method of causing a selectable item including customized graphic for electronic messaging application starts with a processor generating customized graphics based on user identifiers for a first, a second, and a third client device. Processor causes a communication list interface that includes a group selectable item to be displayed on the first client device. The group selectable item includes the second customized graphic and the third customized graphic. Processor receives a request for a group communication session from the first client device. The request for the group communication session is generated by the first client device when the user of the first client device selects a first portion of the group selectable item displayed on the first client device. Processor causes a communication interface for the group communication session between a group of client devices to be displayed at the first client device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interfaces to facilitate communication between users via multiple modes of electronic communication. The system displays a conversation view that presents messages exchanged between a first user and at least one other user in an electronic chat conversation. The conversation view includes an interactive element to enable the first user to initiate a video call with the at least one other user. Based on receiving user input corresponding to an interaction with the interactive element, the system initiates the video call with the at least one other user. The system displays an active call view to facilitate the video call with the at least one other user. The system toggles from displaying the active call view to displaying the conversation view in response to further user input.

Abstract: A system to generate a graphical user interface to display a presentation of a set of shared user groups between users of a social networking service is described. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to systems for: receiving an identification of a second user from a user account of a first user; identifying a user group that includes the first user and the second user in response to the identification of the second user from the user account of the first user; retrieving user identifiers of the first user and the second user, wherein the user identifiers may include graphical avatars; generating a group identifier based on the user identifiers; and causing display of a presentation of the user group at a client device.

Abstract: Method of generating private notifications between users in a communication session starts with an application server causing a communication interface to be displayed at a first client device and at a second client device, respectively. Application server receives from the first client device a request to send a private notification to the second client device and causes a private notification sending interface to be displayed in the communication interface of the first client device. Application server receives from the first client device a confirmation to send the private notification to the second client device and generating the private notification at the second client device that includes causing a first avatar that is associated with a user of the first client device to be included in the communication interface displayed at the second client device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
