Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for messaging
An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a message application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and a plurality of other users, a message-input area, and a plurality of avatars corresponding to the plurality of other users. The plurality of avatars are displayed as a stack of avatars, with a first avatar of avatars displayed on the top of the stack of avatars. In response to detecting an input by a first contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first avatar, if the input meets menu-activation-criteria, a menu that contains activatable menu items associated with the first avatar overlaid on the messaging user interface is displayed, and if the input meets avatar-spreading-criteria the plurality of avatars are displayed in an array.

while displaying the messaging user interface, detecting an input by a first contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first avatar;
in response to detecting the input by the first contact:
in accordance with a determination that the input meets menu-activation criteria, wherein the menu-activation criteria require that a characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the menu-activation criteria to be met, displaying a menu that contains activatable menu items associated with the first avatar overlaid on the messaging user interface; and
in accordance with a determination that the input meets avatar-spreading-criteria, wherein the avatar-spreading-criteria do not require that a characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet the respective intensity threshold in order for the avatar-spreading-criteria to be met, displaying the plurality of avatars in an array.
10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the avatar-spreading-criteria are met upon detection of a tap gesture on the touch-sensitive surface.
11.
