2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message comprises a caret symbol to indicate that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will launch the camera view graphical user interface to add an image or video to the interactive message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message comprises an icon beneath a caret symbol to indicate that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will launch a graphical user interface to play or interact with the first message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive message corresponds to a game played between a first user sending the first message and a second user replying to the first message and the reply message comprises media content corresponding to the second user's play in the game.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message is sent via a second computing device and wherein sending the reply message comprises sending the reply message to the second computing device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message comprises an icon beneath a caret symbol to indicate that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will the camera view graphical user interface.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein capture of the second image or video comprises capture of only a portion of the vide or image.

8. A computing device comprising:

a memory that stores instructions; and

one or more processors configured by the instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving an interactive message comprising a first object comprising a first image or video and a second object to which an image or video can be added;

causing display of the interactive message in a graphical user interface of the computing device;

causing display of an interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message in the graphical user interface of the computing device, the interactive interface component comprising an indication that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will launch a camera view graphical user interface to add an image or video to the interactive message;

detecting a pattern of touch made via the display of the computing device during display of the interactive message;

determining that the pattern of touch is a swipe in an upward motion on the interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message;

in response to determining that the pattern of touch is a swipe in an upward motion on the interface component overlaid on the interactive message, causing the camera view graphical user interface to display on the display of the computing device;

detecting capture of a second image or video via the camera view graphical user interface comprising the camera view;

adding the second image or video to the second object of the interactive message and causing display of the interactive message comprising the first object comprising the first image or video and the second object comprising the second image or video, in the graphical user interface of the computing device;

causing display of the reply interface component overlaid on the interactive message in the graphical user interface of the computing device;

receiving input via the reply interface component overlaid on the interactive message in the graphical user interface requesting the interactive message comprising the first image or video and the second object comprising the second image or video to be sent in response to the received interactive message comprising the first object comprising a first image or video and the second object to which an image or video can be added; and

sending the interactive message comprising the first image or video and the second object comprising the second image or video.

9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message comprises a caret symbol to indicate that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will launch the camera view graphical user interface to add an image or video to the interactive message.

10.

11. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the interactive message corresponds to a game played between a first user sending the first message and a second user replying to the first message and the reply message comprises media content corresponding to the second user's play in the game.

12. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the first message is sent via a second computing device and wherein sending the reply message comprises sending the reply message to the second computing device.

13. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message comprises an icon beneath a caret symbol to indicate that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will the camera view graphical user interface.

14. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein capture of the second image or video comprises capture of only a portion of the vide or image.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by at least one processor to cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving an interactive message comprising a first object comprising a first image or video and a second object to which an image or video can be added;

causing display of the interactive message in a graphical user interface of a computing device;

causing display of an interactive interface component overlaid on the interactive message in the graphical user interface of the computing device, the interactive interface component comprising an indication that a swipe up gesture on the interface component will launch a camera view graphical user interface to add an image or video to the interactive message;
