    Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a messaging application on the 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 first message-input area, and a launch icon for an interactive application. While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects an input that activates the launch icon for the interactive application. In response to detecting the input that activates the launch icon for the interactive application, the device displays a user interface for the interactive application, the interactive application user interface including a second message-input area that is distinct from the first message-input area. While displaying the interactive application user interface, the device detects input of a first message in the second message-input area. In response to detecting the input of the first message in the second message-input area, the device displays the first message in the second message-input area. While displaying the first message in the second message-input area, the device detects an input that corresponds to a request to post the contents of the second message-input area to the messaging session; and, in response to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to post the contents of the second message-input area to the messaging session, the device transmits the first message to one or more electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging session, wherein the one or more electronic devices display the first message in a conversation transcript corresponding to the messaging session.

    Abstract: A media channel can include a mix of media items and invitational content items. At some point during the playback of the media channel an invitational content item can be presented. In some cases, the invitational content items eligible for presentation can be of differing types, such as video and audio. In can be advantageous to restrict presentation of video invitational content items to times when a user is likely to view the screen of the client device during playback of the invitational content item. To accomplish this one or more heuristics or rules can be applied to client device data to predict a user attention level. The user attention level can then be correlated to an invitational content item type, which can then be used to select an invitational content item for playback.

    Abstract: Instead of displaying interface elements such as pagination indicators side-by-side on a display, a device can present such interface elements in other visible configurations relative to each other. For example, the device can display pagination indicators of different sizes stacked on top of each other. When such stacked pagination indicators are presented as viewed from directly overhead, the pagination indicators can be appear as concentric rings. Alternatively, the device can display such stacked pagination indicators from various different non-overhead angle perspectives. When shown at some of these angles, the stacked pagination indicators can appear as a three-dimensional stack of discs. The device can highlight a particular pagination indicator to distinguish that particular pagination indicator visibly from the other pagination indicators. The highlighted pagination indicator can serve to indicate which of several interface segments, such as pages, is currently being shown on the display.
