Instant messaging method and system, and electronic apparatus

An instant messaging system, comprising:

• a plurality of electronic apparatuses, wherein each of the electronic apparatuses comprises:
• a first networking device;
• a first storage device, comprising an instant messaging module;
• and
• a first processor, coupled to the first networking device and the first storage device, driving the instant messaging module to perform an instant messaging process, the instant messaging process comprising:
• activating an instant messaging interface, and displaying a communication area in the instant messaging interface, wherein the communication area is configured to display a plurality of dialog boxes, each of the plurality of dialog boxes corresponds to at least one message content between a connection account used by the electronic apparatus and other connection accounts used by other electronic apparatuses;
• adding a preview area to the instant messaging interface after the instant messaging interface triggers an edit mode, and activating a touch edit function of the communication area to allow a user to perform editing in the communication area;
• displaying the message content corresponding to a selected edited target in the preview area of the instant messaging interface after determining the at least one dialog box in the communication area is selected as the edited target, wherein the preview area is different from the communication area;
• receiving a touch operation corresponding to the edited target in the communication area, and generating attribute data based on the touch operation;
• adjusting the message content corresponding to the selected edited target in the preview area based on the attribute data;
• receiving another attribute data from another electronic apparatus corresponding to a followed connection account in the edit mode in response to the instant messaging interface triggers a viewing mode;
• displaying a corresponding content based on the another attribute data corresponding to the followed connection account in the preview area of the instant messaging interface;
• notifying a server through the first networking device in response to the instant messaging interface triggers the viewing mode, such that the server marks a role tag of the corresponding electronic apparatus as a follower tag and notifies the rest of the electronic apparatuses;
• and
• notifying the server through the first networking device in response to the instant messaging interface triggers the edit mode, such that the server marks the role tag of the corresponding electronic apparatus as an editor tag and notifies the rest of the electronic apparatuses.

An electronic apparatus, comprising, a networking device;
