Methods and systems for displaying messages in an asynchronous order

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:

• cause messaging logic to access a plurality of messages of a group conversation at a messaging system, the plurality of messages received in a synchronous order and associated with a synchronous ordering representing the synchronous order in which the messages were received;
• cause threading logic to identify a subset of the plurality of messages associated with a conversation thread within the group conversation;
• cause the threading logic to determine an asynchronous order for the plurality of messages based at least in part on whether a message of the plurality of messages is within the identified subset of messages;
• and
• cause display logic to rearrange the synchronous ordering to display the plurality of messages of the group conversation in accordance with the asynchronous order, the asynchronous order resulting in a grouping of the identified subset plurality of messages within the plurality of messages of the group conversation.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processing circuit;
• a display device;
• and
• a non-transitory medium configured to store:
• a plurality of messages of a group conversation, the plurality of messages associated with a synchronous order and associated with a synchronous ordering representing the synchronous order in which the messages were received,
• computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to:
• identify a subset of the plurality of messages associated with a conversation thread within the group conversation;
• determine an asynchronous order for the plurality of messages based at least in part on whether a message of the plurality of messages is within the identified subset of messages;
• and
• rearrange the synchronous ordering to display the plurality of messages of the group conversation in accordance with the asynchronous order on the display device, the asynchronous order resulting in a grouping of the identified subset of the plurality of messages within the plurality of messages of the group conversation.
