Devices and methods for modifying temporally dependent content elements of electronic communications

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a wireless communication circuit;
• and
• one or more processors operable with the wireless communication circuit;
• the one or more processors to:
• detect an inability of the wireless communication circuit to transmit an electronic communication from the wireless communication device to a receiving device, the electronic communication comprising one or more temporally dependent content elements;
• monitor a duration after the inability during which the wireless communication circuit is unable to transmit the electronic communication;
• alter the one or more temporally dependent content elements as a function of the duration to obtain a modified electronic communication;
• and
• cause the wireless communication circuit to transmit the modified electronic communication,
• wherein the one or more temporally dependent content elements comprising metadata of the electronic communication and the one or more temporally dependent content elements are recorded, prior to modifying, in a data structure,
• wherein both the wireless communication device and the receiving device are able to modify the one or more temporally dependent content using the metadata.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a wireless communication circuit;
• one or more processors operable with the wireless communication circuit;
• and a user interface operable with the one or more processors;
• the one or more processors to:
• receive, from the wireless communication circuit, an electronic communication comprising:
• one or more temporally dependent content elements;
• and an indication that a transmitting device was unable to transmit the electronic communication to a receiving device for a duration;
• alter the one or more temporally dependent content elements as a function of the duration to obtain a modified electronic communication;
• and present the modified electronic communication on the user interface,
• wherein the one or more temporally dependent content elements comprising metadata of the electronic communication and the one or more temporally dependent content elements are recorded, prior to altering, in a data structure,
• wherein both the transmitting device and the receiving device are able to alter the one or more temporally dependent content using the metadata.
