Interface for displaying electronic communications

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer system to:

• receive, at a client device,
• an electronic message associated with an application on the client device, the application comprising a first user interface;
• render, within a second user interface at the client device, an indicator that individually corresponds to the electronic message and that provides a user with a perceivable indication that the electronic message has been received, wherein the second user interface is separate from the first user interface;
• detect a user interaction with the indicator;
• and
• render, in response to detecting the user interaction, an interface element comprising additional information related to the content of the electronic message.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive, from a communications system at a client device, an electronic message associated with an application on the client device, the application comprising a first user interface;
• render, within a second user interface at the client device, an indicator that individually corresponds to the received electronic message and that provides the user with a perceivable indication that the electronic message has been received, wherein the second user interface is separate from the first user interface;
• detect a user interaction with the indicator;
• render, in response to detecting the user interaction with the indicator, an interface element comprising additional information related to the content of the electronic message.
