Methods, systems, and media for presenting a suggestion to watch videos

A system for presenting a suggestion to watch videos, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is programmed to:
• receive, on a computing device, a message in a communication interface for presentation on a display associated with the computing device, wherein the message was transmitted from another computing device and wherein the message includes a media identifier that, when selected, directs the computing device to retrieve a media content item from a content server and play back the media content item in a media application executing on the computing device;
• determine that the media identifier was not selected within a particular time period from when the message was opened in the communication interface;
• in response to determining that the media identifier was not selected within a particular time period from when the message was opened in the communication interface, retrieve timing information and location information associated with the computing device;
• determine that the retrieved timing information and the retrieved location information correspond to one or more times and one or more locations at which the computing device has previously played back video content items;
• and
• cause a notification to be presented on the computing device, wherein a user selection of the notification causes the computing device to retrieve the media content item from the content server and initiate playback of the media content item in the media application executing on the computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting a suggestion to watch videos, the method comprising:

• receiving, on a computing device, a message in a communication interface for presentation on a display associated with the computing device, wherein the message was transmitted from another computing device and wherein the message includes a media identifier that, when selected, directs the computing device to retrieve a media content item from a content server and play back the media content item in a media application executing on the computing device;
• determining that the media identifier was not selected within a particular time period from when the message was opened in the communication interface;
• in response to determining that the media identifier was not selected within a particular time period from when the message was opened in the communication interface, retrieving timing information and location information associated with the computing device;
• determining that the retrieved timing information and the retrieved location information correspond to one or more times and one or more locations at which the computing device has previously played back video content items;
• and
• causing a notification to be presented on the computing device, wherein a user selection of the notification causes the computing device to retrieve the media content item from the content server and initiate playback of the media content item in the media application executing on the computing device.
