US 2019/0097964 A1 · GENERATING ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES FOR MESSAGING THREADS INDICATING INTERACTIONS WITH EPHEMERAL CONTENT

Abstract

This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that provide an administrative message within a messaging thread indicating to a user that a viewer interacted with the user's ephemeral content. By providing the administrative message, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems create an indicator for a user within a messaging thread concerning views of (or other interactions with) ephemeral content that the user shared outside of the messaging thread. In some embodiments, for example, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems further provide a responsive administrative message to a messaging thread indicating to a user that a viewer responded to the user's ephemeral content item.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a client device to:

send to a networking system an ephemeral content item to add to an ephemeral content compilation for a user;
receive from the networking system a read receipt that indicates a viewer viewed the ephemeral content item;
open a messaging thread for the user and the viewer;
based on the read receipt, determine that the viewer viewed the ephemeral content item;
and
in response to determining that the viewer viewed the ephemeral content item, add an administrative message to the messaging thread, the administrative message indicating to the user that the viewer viewed the ephemeral content item.

3 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive, from a first client device, an ephemeral content item;
add the ephemeral content item to an ephemeral content compilation for a user;
send the ephemeral content item to a second client device for presentation within a graphical user interface;
receive, from the second client device, a read receipt that indicates a viewer associated with the second client device viewed the ephemeral content item;
and
in response to receiving the read receipt, cause the first client device to add an administrative message to a messaging thread for the user and the viewer, the administrative message indicating to the user that the viewer viewed the ephemeral content item.

6 more elements

A method comprising:

receiving, from a first client device, an ephemeral content item;
adding the ephemeral content item to an ephemeral content compilation for a user;
sending the ephemeral content item to a second client device for presentation within a graphical user interface;
receiving, from the second client device, a first read receipt that indicates a first viewer associated with the second client device viewed the ephemeral content item;
and
in response to receiving the first read receipt, causing the first client device to add an administrative message to a group messaging thread for the user, the first viewer, and the second viewer, the administrative message indicating to the user that the first viewer viewed the ephemeral content item.
