User-specified replacement of terms in messaging
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for replacing text in a message thread. The program and method provide for receiving an indication of user input provided by a first user, the user input comprising a text-based term for updating a message thread between the first user and a second user; determining that the text-based term is included within a set of predefined terms, each predefined term within the set of predefined terms having corresponding replacement content for including in the message thread, the replacement content having been specified by the first or second user with respect to messages exchanged between the first and second user; and providing, in response to the determining and based on the set of predefined terms, the replacement content corresponding to the text-based term within the message thread.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving an indication of user input provided by a first user, the user input comprising a text-based term for updating a message thread between the first user and a second user;
determining that the text-based term is included within a set of predefined terms, each predefined term within the set of predefined terms having corresponding replacement content for including in the message thread, the replacement content having been specified by the first or second user with respect to messages exchanged between the first and second user;
providing, in response to the determining and based on the set of predefined terms, the replacement content corresponding to the text-based term within the message thread;
providing for highlighting the replacement content within the message thread; and
providing, in response to user selection of the highlighted replacement content, an indication of which of the first or second user specified the replacement content,
wherein the replacement content comprises text, image, video or audio data, and
wherein the replacement content is provided within the message thread in lieu of displaying the text-based term within the message thread.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of predefined terms is specific to the message thread.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing for display of the text-based term in response to user selection of the highlighted replacement content.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a user interface to display each predefined term within the set of predefined terms and the respective replacement content for that predefined term.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user interface provides for adding, deleting or modifying at least one of a predefined term within the set of predefined terms or the respective replacement content for that predefined term.
6. A system comprising
a processor; and
a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication of user input provided by a first user, the user input comprising a text-based term for updating a message thread between the first user and a second user;
determining that the text-based term is included within a set of predefined terms, each predefined term within the set of predefined terms having corresponding replacement content for including in the message thread, the replacement content having been specified by the first or second user with respect to messages exchanged between the first and second user; and
providing, in response to the determining and based on the set of predefined terms, the replacement content corresponding to the text-based term within the message thread;
providing for highlighting the replacement content within the message thread; and
providing, in response to user selection of the highlighted replacement content, an indication of which of the first or second user specified the replacement content,
wherein the replacement content comprises text, image, video or audio data, and
wherein the replacement content is provided within the message thread in lieu of displaying the text-based term within the message thread.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the set of predefined terms is specific to the message thread.
8. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
providing for display of the text-based term in response to user selection of the highlighted replacement content.
9. The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
providing a user interface to display each predefined term within the set of predefined terms and the respective replacement content for that predefined term.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user interface provides for adding, deleting or modifying at least one of a predefined term within the set of predefined terms or the respective replacement content for that predefined term.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication of user input provided by a first user, the user input comprising a text-based term for updating a message thread between the first user and a second user;
determining that the text-based term is included within a set of predefined terms, each predefined term within the set of predefined terms having corresponding replacement content for including in the message thread, the replacement content having been specified by the first or second user with respect to messages exchanged between the first and second user;
providing, in response to the determining and based on the set of predefined terms, the replacement content corresponding to the text-based term within the message thread;
providing for highlighting the replacement content within the message thread; and
providing, in response to user selection of the highlighted replacement content, an indication of which of the first or second user specified the replacement content,
wherein the replacement content comprises text, image, video or audio data, and
wherein the replacement content is provided within the message thread in lieu of displaying the text-based term within the message thread.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the set of predefined terms is specific to the message thread.
