## Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for presenting a reminder to view content are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, a method for presenting a reminder to view content is provided, the method comprising: determining that a message that includes a link to a first content item has been received by a user device; determining whether the link to the content item has been selected; in response to determining that the link to the content item has not been selected, storing metadata associated with the content item; determining that a user is viewing a second content item that is related to the first content item; determining a probability value that indicates a likelihood that the user would be interested in viewing the first content item; and causing an interface that includes a reminder to view the first content item to be presented on the user device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for presenting a reminder to view content, comprising:
determining that a message in a communication interface that includes a link to a first content item has been received by a user device;
determining, at a first point in time, whether the link to the first content item has been selected using the user device;
in response to determining that the link to the first content item has not been selected, storing metadata associated with the content item in association with an identifier of the user device;
determining, at a second point in time, that a user of the user device is viewing a second content item that is related to the first content item based at least in part on the stored metadata;
in response to determining that the user of the user device is viewing the second content item that is related to the first content item, determining, using a hardware processor, a probability value that indicates a likelihood that the user would be interested in viewing the first content item; and
in response to determining that the probability value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, causing an interface that that is presented along with the second content item, wherein the interface includes a queue of related content items including the first content item, wherein the first content item in the queue of related content items includes a reminder to view the first content item to be presented on the user device, and wherein the reminder includes an identifier associated with a sender of the message that included the link to the first content item, a modality in which the message was sent, and timing information associated with when the message was sent.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first content item is a video, and wherein the queue of related content items includes a queue of related videos.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the interface includes a link to the first content item.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the probability value is determined based at least in part on a duration of time between the first point in time and the second point in time.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising selecting a particular type of a notification that includes the reminder based at least in part on the probability value.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising determining that the second content item is related to the first content item based at least in part on a source of the first content item and the second content item.

### Claim 7

A system for presenting a reminder to view content, the system comprising:
a hardware processor that is programmed to:
determine that a message in a communication interface that includes a link to a first content item has been received by a user device;
determine, at a first point in time, whether the link to the first content item has been selected using the user device;
in response to determining that the link to the first content item has not been selected, store metadata associated with the first content item in association with an identifier of the user device;
determine, at a second point in time, that a user of the user device is viewing a second content item that is related to the first content item based at least in part on the stored metadata;
in response to determining that the user of the user device is viewing the second content item that is related to the first content item, determine a probability value that indicates a likelihood that the user would be interested in viewing the first content item; and
in response to determining that the probability value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, cause an interface that that is presented along with the second content item, wherein the interface includes a queue of related content items including the first content item, wherein the first content item in the queue of related content items includes a reminder to view the first content item to be presented on the user device, and wherein the reminder includes an identifier associated with a sender of the message that included the link to the first content item, a modality in which the message was sent, and timing information associated with when the message was sent.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the first content item is a video, and wherein the queue of related content items includes a queue of related videos.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the interface includes a link to the first content item.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the probability value is determined based at least in part on a duration of time between the first point in time and the second point in time.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to select a particular type of a notification that includes the reminder based at least in part on the probability value.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to determine that the second content item is related to the first content item based at least in part on a source of the first content item and the second content item.

### Claim 13

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting a reminder to view content, the method comprising:
determining that a message in a communication interface that includes a link to a first content item has been received by a user device;
determining, at a first point in time, whether the link to the first content item has been selected using the user device;
in response to determining that the link to the first content item has not been selected, storing metadata associated with the first content item in association with an identifier of the user device;
determining, at a second point in time, that a user of the user device is viewing a second content item that is related to the first content item based at least in part on the stored metadata;
in response to determining that the user of the user device is viewing the second content item that is related to the first content item, determining a probability value that indicates a likelihood that the user would be interested in viewing the first content item; and
in response to determining that the probability value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, causing an interface that that is presented along with the second content item, wherein the interface includes a queue of related content items including the first content item, wherein the first content item in the queue of related content items includes a reminder to view the first content item to be presented on the user device, and wherein the reminder includes an identifier associated with a sender of the message that included the link to the first content item, a modality in which the message was sent, and timing information associated with when the message was sent.
