Abstract
In some embodiments, an electronic device detects a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a process to create a first sticker based on a first image including one or more objects, and facilitates creation of the sticker based on the first image. The first sticker can then be displayed in a messaging conversation.
Claims49
A method comprising:
- at an electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
- while displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface corresponding to a messaging conversation in a messaging application, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a process to create a first sticker based on a first image including one or more objects, wherein the first sticker is for use in the messaging application;
- in response to receiving the first user input, initiating the process to create the first sticker, including:
- automatically identifying a first object of the one or more objects in the first image without additional user input;
- and
- generating the first sticker for use within the messaging application, wherein the first sticker is a representation of the first object that has a shape based on an automatically determined shape of the first object in the first image, and is based on a first portion of the first image that includes the first object and is not based on a second portion of the first image that does not include the first object;
- and
- after initiating the process to create the first sticker, displaying, in the first user interface, the first sticker;
- while displaying the first sticker, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second user input corresponding to a request to place the first sticker in the messaging conversation;
- and
- in response to detecting the second user input, displaying the first sticker in the messaging conversation.

An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the memory and comprising instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform a method, comprising:
- while displaying, via a display generation component, a first user interface corresponding to a messaging conversation in a messaging application, detecting, via one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a process to create a first sticker based on a first image including one or more objects, wherein the first sticker is for use in the messaging application;
- in response to receiving the first user input, initiating the process to create the first sticker, including:
- automatically identifying a first object of the one or more objects in the first image without additional user input;
- and
- generating the first sticker for use within the messaging application, wherein the first sticker is a representation of the first object that has a shape based on an automatically determined shape of the first object in the first image, and is based on a first portion of the first image that includes the first object and is not based on a second portion of the first image that does not include the first object;
- and
- after initiating the process to create the first sticker, displaying, in the first user interface, the first sticker;
- while displaying the first sticker, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second user input corresponding to a request to place the first sticker in the messaging conversation;
- and
- in response to detecting the second user input, displaying the first sticker in the messaging conversation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a method, comprising:
- while displaying, via a display generation component, a first user interface corresponding to a messaging conversation in a messaging application, detecting, via one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a process to create a first sticker based on a first image including one or more objects, wherein the first sticker is for use in the messaging application;
- in response to receiving the first user input, initiating the process to create the first sticker, including:
- automatically identifying a first object of the one or more objects in the first image without additional user input;
- and
- generating the first sticker for use within the messaging application, wherein the first sticker is a representation of the first object that has a shape based on an automatically determined shape of the first object in the first image, and is based on a first portion of the first image that includes the first object and is not based on a second portion of the first image that does not include the first object;
- and
- after initiating the process to create the first sticker, displaying, in the first user interface, the first sticker;
- while displaying the first sticker, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second user input corresponding to a request to place the first sticker in the messaging conversation;
- and
- in response to detecting the second user input, displaying the first sticker in the messaging conversation.
