Abstract

A technique for message history display includes combining message histories for multiple different messaging services. A system constructed according to the technique may include, for example, a message history database; a history aggregation engine that aggregates message logs for storage in the message history database; and a history provisioning engine that provides an aggregated message log associated with the user from the message history database to a requesting device. A method according to the technique may include, for example, identifying a device in association with a user profile; providing an online platform that receives messages from and sends messages to the device; and creating an aggregated log from messages sent to and from the device.
