Abstract

An avatar notification system is disclosed, which performs operations that include: causing display of a notification at a client device associated with a first user account, the notification including an identification of a second user account; receiving an input that selects the notification from the client device; presenting a composition interface at the client device in response to the input that selects the notification, the composition interface including a display of a media element that comprises a first identifier associated with the first user account and a second identifier associated with the second user account; receiving a selection of the media element from the client device; and generating a message that includes the media element in response to the selection.

Claims (53)

1. A method comprising:

identifying a first user account and a second user account based on a bidirectional communication history between the first user account and the second user account;

determining an attribute associated with the first user account and the second user account responsive to the identifying the first user account and the second user account;

causing display of a notification at a client device associated with the first user account in response to the identifying the first user account and second user account based on the bidirectional communication history, the notification including an identification of the second user account;

receiving an input that selects the notification from the client device; and

presenting a media collection at the client device in response to the input that selects the notification, the media collection comprising a plurality of media elements generated based on a first personalized avatar associated with the first user account and a second personalized avatar associated with the second user account, wherein based on at least the determined attribute, at least one media element of the plurality of media elements is a generated composite of the first personalized avatar and the second personalized avatar.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second user account comprises user profile data, and the causing display of the notification includes:

identifying one or more user accounts that include at least the first user account based on the user profile data of the second user account; and

causing display of the notification at one or more client devices associated with the one or more user accounts, the one or more client devices including the client device associated with the first user account.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of media elements include a media element that comprises media properties, the media properties based on an interaction history associated with the first user account and the second user account.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the first user account and the second user account based on the bidirectional communication history includes:

determining a period of time elapsed since a message from among the bidirectional communication history based on a timestamp associated with the message; and

determining that the period of time transgresses a threshold value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving selection of a media element from among the plurality of media elements; and

generating a message that includes a display of the media element.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the message includes an ephemeral message that comprises a display duration.

7. A system comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory and comprising instructions that causes the system to perform operations comprising:

identifying a first user account and a second user account based on a bidirectional communication history between the first user account and the second user account;

determining an attribute associated with the first user account and the second user account responsive to the identifying the first user account and the second user account;

causing display of a notification at a client device associated with the first user account in response to the identifying the first user account and second user account based on the bidirectional communication history, the notification including an identification of the second user account;

receiving an input that selects the notification from the client device; and

presenting a media collection at the client device in response to the input that selects the notification, the media collection comprising a plurality of media elements generated based on a first personalized avatar associated with the first user account and a second personalized avatar associated with the second user account, wherein based on at least the determined attribute, at least one media element of the plurality of media elements is a generated composite of the first personalized avatar and the second personalized avatar.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the second user account comprises user profile data, and the causing display of the notification includes:

identifying one or more user accounts that include at least the first user account based on the user profile data of the second user account; and

causing display of the notification at one or more client devices associated with the one or more user accounts, the one or more client devices including the client device associated with the first user account.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of media elements include a media element that comprises media properties, the media properties based on an interaction history associated with the first user account and the second user account.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the identifying the first user account and the second user account based on the bidirectional communication history includes:

determining a period of time elapsed since a message from among the bidirectional communication history based on a timestamp associated with the message; and

determining that the period of time transgresses a threshold value.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

receiving selection of a media element from among the plurality of media elements; and

generating a message that includes a display of the media element.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the message includes an ephemeral message that comprises a display duration.

13. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

identifying a first user account and a second user account based on a bidirectional communication history between the first user account and the second user account;

determining an attribute associated with the first user account and the second user account responsive to the identifying the first user account and the second user account;

causing display of a notification at a client device associated with the first user account in response to the identifying the first user account and second user account based on the bidirectional communication history, the notification including an identification of the second user account;

receiving an input that selects the notification from the client device; and

presenting a media collection at the client device in response to the input that selects the notification, the media collection comprising a plurality of media elements generated based on a first personalized avatar associated with the first user account and a second personalized avatar associated with the second user account, wherein based on at least the determined attribute, at least one media element of the plurality of media elements is a generated composite of the first personalized avatar and the second personalized avatar.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the second user account comprises user profile data, and the causing display of the notification includes:

identifying one or more user accounts that include at least the first user account based on the user profile data of the second user account; and

causing display of the notification at one or more client devices associated with the one or more user accounts, the one or more client devices including the client device associated with the first user account.
