• receiving a first request for synchronized viewing of the media item within the messaging user interface;
• in response to receiving the first request, initiating playback of content corresponding to the media item while the representation of the media item is displayed at the chronological position within the conversation transcript;
• after initiating playback of the content corresponding to the media item, displaying the playback of the content corresponding to the media item at a fixed position within the messaging user interface that is different than the chronological position;
• while displaying the playback of the content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position:
• displaying messages exchanged between the user and the at least one other user below the displayed playback of the content corresponding to the media item;
• detecting an end of the content corresponding to the media item;
• and
• in response to detecting the end of the content corresponding to the media item, ceasing to display the content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position.

A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a first electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the first electronic device to:

• display, on the display, a messaging user interface, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the first electronic device and at least one other user, wherein:
• the conversation transcript includes a representation of a media item that is displayed at a chronological position within the conversation transcript, and
• the messaging session is configured to allow synchronized viewing of the media item by the user at the first electronic device and the at least one other user at a second electronic device that is distinct from the first electronic device;
• receive a first request for synchronized viewing of the media item within the messaging user interface;
• in response to receiving the first request, initiate playback of the content corresponding to the media item while the representation of the media item is displayed at the chronological position within the conversation transcript;
• after initiating playback of the content corresponding to the media item, display the playback of the content corresponding to the media item at a fixed position within the messaging user interface that is different than the chronological position;
• while displaying the playback of the content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position:
• display messages exchanged between the user and the at least one other user below the displayed playback of the content corresponding to the media item;
• detect an end of the content corresponding to the media item;
• and
• in response to detecting the end of the content corresponding to the media item, cease to display the content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position.
