Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for displaying and using avatars. In some embodiments, avatars are used to generate stickers for sending in a content-creation user interface. In some embodiments, avatars are used to generate a representation of a contactable user in a contactable user editing user interface. In some embodiments, a user interface can be used to create and edit an avatar. In some embodiments, a user interface can be used to display an avatar that is responsive to detected changes in pose of a face of a user. In some embodiments, contact information is transmitted or received.
Claims33
An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more communication devices;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein a user is associated with the electronic device and the one or more programs include instructions for:
- receiving a set of one or more inputs that includes input selecting a graphical object to select a graphical representation of a user associated with the electronic device;
- in response to receiving the input to select the graphical representation:
- updating contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to include the selected graphical representation without transmitting the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to a set of contactable users;
- after updating the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to include the selected graphical representation, receiving a request to transmit a first message to a set of contactable users, the set of contactable users including a first contactable user;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to transmit the first message:
- in accordance with a determination that a set of sharing criteria is satisfied for the first contactable user, the set of sharing criteria including a first sharing criterion that is satisfied when the first contactable user corresponds to an approved recipient:
- transmitting, via the one or more communication devices, to the first contactable user:
- the first message, and
- the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the set of sharing criteria is not satisfied for the first contactable user:
- transmitting, to the first contactable user, via the one or more communication devices, the first message without transmitting the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with one or more communication devices, wherein a user is associated with the electronic device and the one or more programs include instructions for:
- receiving a set of one or more inputs that includes input selecting a graphical object to select a graphical representation of a user associated with the electronic device;
- in response to receiving the input to select the graphical representation:
- updating contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to include the selected graphical representation without transmitting the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to a set of contactable users;
- after updating the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to include the selected graphical representation, receiving a request to transmit a first message to a set of contactable users, the set of contactable users including a first contactable user;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to transmit the first message:
- in accordance with a determination that a set of sharing criteria is satisfied for the first contactable user, the set of sharing criteria including a first sharing criterion that is satisfied when the first contactable user corresponds to an approved recipient:
- transmitting, via the one or more communication devices, to the first contactable user:
- the first message, and
- the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the set of sharing criteria is not satisfied for the first contactable user:
- transmitting, to the first contactable user, via the one or more communication devices, the first message without transmitting the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device.
10 more elements
A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with one or more communication devices, wherein a user is associated with the electronic device:
- receiving a set of one or more inputs that includes input selecting a graphical object to select a graphical representation of a user associated with the electronic device;
- in response to receiving the input to select the graphical representation:
- updating contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to include the selected graphical representation without transmitting the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to a set of contactable users;
- after updating the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device to include the selected graphical representation, receiving a request to transmit a first message to a set of contactable users, the set of contactable users including a first contactable user;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to transmit the first message:
- in accordance with a determination that a set of sharing criteria is satisfied for the first contactable user, the set of sharing criteria including a first sharing criterion that is satisfied when the first contactable user corresponds to an approved recipient:
- transmitting, via the one or more communication devices, to the first contactable user:
- the first message, and
- the contact information of the user associated with the electronic device;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the set of sharing criteria is not satisfied for the first contactable user:
