System and method for reacting to messages
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for reacting to a message in a communication platform. An exemplary method implemented at least in part by a user computing device of a user associated with a communication platform comprises: displaying the message in a message area; identifying, based on the message, one or more reactive emojis; displaying one or more graphical representations of the one or more reactive emojis; receiving, from a user, an input selecting a graphical representation of the one or more reactive graphical representations; in response to receiving the input, displaying a reaction to the message in a reaction area; and displaying a response input area for inputting a response to the message.
1. A method implemented at least in part by a user computing device of a user, the method comprising:
receiving a message;
in response to receiving the message, identifying, based on context of the message, one or more reactive emojis;
displaying the message in a message area and the identified one or more reactive emojis in a reaction area;
receiving, from a user, an input selecting a reactive emoji of the identified one or more reactive emojis in the reaction area;
in response to receiving the input, automatically maintaining a display of an indication of the selection of the reactive emoji and the identified one or more reactive emojis in the reaction area along with a display of a response input area for inputting a response to the message, wherein the reaction area and the response input area are separate.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the reactive emojis comprises:
displaying inactive versions of the reactive emojis in the reaction area; and
displaying the indication of the selection of the reactive emoji comprises displaying an active version of the selected reactive emoji in the reaction area.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reactive emojis are identified based on semantic context of the message.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether a user has permission to use an emoji of the one or more reactive emojis;
in response to a determination that the user does not have permission to use the emoji, displaying a disabled version of the emoji.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: displaying a user interface for installing the emoji.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the one or more emojis comprises: determining that the message includes a file; and identifying the one or more emojis based on the file.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the one or more emojis comprises: determining that the message includes a keyword; and identifying the one or more emojis based on the keyword.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: in response to receiving the input, launching an application associated with the selected reactive emoji.
9. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
one or more processors;
a memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a message;
in response to receiving the message, identifying, based on context of the message, one or more reactive emojis;
displaying the message in a message area and the identified one or more reactive emojis in a reaction area;
receiving, from a user, an input selecting a reactive emoji of the identified one or more reactive emojis in the reaction area;
in response to receiving the input, automatically maintaining a display of an indication of the selection of the reactive emoji and the identified one or more reactive emojis in the reaction area along with a display of a response input area for inputting a response to the message, wherein the reaction area and the response input area are separate.
10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein displaying the reactive emojis comprises:
displaying inactive versions of the reactive emojis in the reaction area; and
displaying the indication of the selection of the reactive emoji comprises displaying an active version of the selected reactive emoji in the reaction area.
11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more reactive emojis are identified based on semantic context of the message.
12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
determining whether a user has permission to use an emoji of the one or more reactive emojis;
in response to a determination that the user does not have permission to use the emoji, displaying a disabled version of the emoji.
13. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein identifying the one or more emojis comprises: determining that the message includes a keyword; and identifying the one or more emojis based on the keyword.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device having a display, cause the electronic device to:
receiving a message;
in response to receiving the message, identifying, based on context of the message, one or more reactive emojis;
displaying the message in a message area and the identified one or more reactive emojis in a reaction area;
receiving, from a user, an input selecting a reactive emoji of the identified one or more reactive emojis in the reaction area;
in response to receiving the input, automatically maintaining a display of an indication of the selection of the reactive emoji and the identified one or more reactive emojis in the reaction area along with a display of a response input area for inputting a response to the message, wherein the reaction area and the response input area are separate.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein displaying the reactive emojis comprises:
displaying inactive versions of the reactive emojis in the reaction area; and
displaying the indication of the selection of the reactive emoji comprises displaying an active version of the selected reactive emoji in the reaction area.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more reactive emojis are identified based on semantic context of the message.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more programs further cause the electronic device to:
determine whether a user has permission to use an emoji of the one or more reactive emojis;
in response to a determination that the user does not have permission to use the emoji, display a disabled version of the emoji.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein identifying the one or more emojis comprises: determining that the message includes a keyword; and identifying the one or more emojis based on the keyword.
