Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for providing and dynamically adjusting message composition indicators. The disclosed systems and methods provide users of electronic messaging systems, such as electronic messaging systems, with information regarding the message composition activities of other users.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, as part of a digital conversation between a first user and a second user and by at least one processor of an electronic messaging system, that the first user is composing a message to the second user using a first client device;
- providing, in response to the determination that the first user is composing the message, a message composition indicator to the second user by way of a second client device to indicate that the first user is composing the message to the second user;
- detecting, as a result of one or more actions of the first user while composing the message, an increase in size of the message;
- in response to and in accordance with the detected increase in size of the message, causing an increase in size of the message composition indicator provided to the second user;
- determining that the first user has stopped composing the message and begins composing a different message to a third user who is not participating in the digital conversation;
- and
- in response to the determination that the first user is composing the different message to the third user, modifying an appearance of the message composition indicator to indicate to the second user that the first user is composing the different message to the third user.

A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- determine, as part of a digital conversation between a first user and a second user and by at least one processor of an electronic messaging system, that the first user is composing a message to the second user using a first client device;
- display, in response to the determination that the first user is composing the message, a message composition indicator to the second user on a second client device to indicate that the first user is composing the message to the second user;
- detect, as a result of on one or more actions of the first user while composing the message, an increase in size of the message;
- in response to and in accordance with the detected increase in size of the message, cause an increase in size of the message composition indicator provided to the second user;
- determine that the first user has stopped composing the message and begins composing a different message to a third user who is not participating in the digital conversation;
- and
- in response to the determination that the first user is composing the different message to the third user, modify an appearance of the message composition indicator to indicate to the second user that the first user is composing the different message to the third user.

A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to:
- determine, as part of a digital conversation between a first user and a second user and by at least one processor of an electronic messaging system, that the first user is composing a message to the second user using a first client device;
- provide, in response to the determination that the first user is composing the message, a message composition indicator to the second user by way of a second client device to indicate that the first user is composing the message to the second user;
- detect, as a result of one or more actions of the first user while composing the message, an increase in size of the message;
- in response to and in accordance with the detected increase in size of the message, causing an increase in size of the message composition indicator provided to the second user;
- determine that the first user has stopped composing the message and begins composing a different message to a third user who is not participating in the digital conversation;
- and
- in response to the determination that the first user is composing the different message to the third user, modify an appearance of the message composition indicator to indicate to the second user that the first user is composing the different message to the third user.
