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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to presenting, by one or more processors, a game result indicium and in response to a user-selection of the game result indicium, the system and method retrieves game play information related to a game play session. The system also generates, by the one or more processors, a game result overlay based on the game play information generated during the game play session, presents the game play overlay overlaid on a media content item to generate a composite media content item, and transmits the composite media item to a second user.

Abstract: Method of generating customized graphics having reactions to electronic message content starts with application server causing a communication interface for a communication session to be displayed at a first client device and at a second client device, respectively. The communication session is between a plurality of client devices. The communication interface includes a chat presence bar that includes a plurality of presence indicators associated with the client devices, respectively. Application server receives content for an electronic message from first client device or second client device and generates a customized graphic based on the content for the electronic message and a user identifier for first client device. Application server causes the customized graphic to be displayed on the chat presence bar of the communication interface displayed on the second client device. The customized graphic included in a first presence indicator associated with the first client device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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: In one or more implementations, a user interface is displayed that includes user interface elements that correspond to third-party application resources that are executable within a client application. The user interface elements may be selectable to launch the third-party application resources within the client application. The user interface may be accessed from a camera user interface of the client application and the user interface may also have a region that includes a portion of the camera user interface in addition to the user interface elements that correspond to the third-party application resources.
