Abstract

Claims (57)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user profile, an input that identifies a second user profile;

accessing a messaging session between the first user profile and the second user profile;

identifying message content within the messaging session;

selecting a media item based on the message content; and

generating a composite identifier associated with the messaging session based on a first user identifier associated with the first user profile, a second user identifier associated with the second user profile, and the media item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the media item based on the message content includes:

ranking plurality of media items based on the message content; and

selecting the media item from among the plurality of media items based on the ranking.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user identifier includes a first graphical avatar, and the second user identifier includes a second graphical avatar.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media item includes an animation that comprises a set of instructions, and the generating the composite identifier includes:

generating the composite identifier based on the first graphical avatar, the second graphical avatar, and the set of instructions of the animation.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating an ephemeral message that includes the composite identifier, the ephemeral message comprising a display duration.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the input that identifies the second user profile includes:

causing display of a set of user identifiers that include the second user identifier; and

receiving a selection of the second user identifier from among the set of user identifiers.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the message content within the chat history includes:

identifying a most recent message among a plurality of messages, the most recent message including the message content.

8. 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:

receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user profile, an input that identifies a second user profile;

accessing a messaging session between the first user profile and the second user profile;

identifying message content within the messaging session;

selecting a media item based on the message content; and

generating a composite identifier associated with the messaging session based on a first user identifier associated with the first user profile, a second user identifier associated with the second user profile, and the media item.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the selecting the media item based on the message content includes:

ranking plurality of media items based on the message content; and

selecting the media item from among the plurality of media items based on the ranking.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first user identifier includes a first graphical avatar, and the second user identifier includes a second graphical avatar.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the media item includes an animation that comprises a set of instructions, and the generating the composite identifier includes:

generating the composite identifier based on the first graphical avatar, the second graphical avatar, and the set of instructions of the animation.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

generating an ephemeral message that includes the composite identifier, the ephemeral message comprising a display duration.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the receiving the input that identifies the second user profile includes:

causing display of a set of user identifiers that include the second user identifier; and

receiving a selection of the second user identifier from among the set of user identifiers.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the identifying the message content within the chat history includes:

identifying a most recent message among a plurality of messages, the most recent message including the message content.

15. 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:

receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user profile, an input that identifies a second user profile;

accessing a messaging session between the first user profile and the second user profile;

identifying message content within the messaging session;

selecting a media item based on the message content; and

generating a composite identifier associated with the messaging session based on a first user identifier associated with the first user profile, a second user identifier associated with the second user profile, and the media item.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the selecting the media item based on the message content includes:

ranking plurality of media items based on the message content; and

selecting the media item from among the plurality of media items based on the ranking.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first user identifier includes a first graphical avatar, and the second user identifier includes a second graphical avatar.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the media item includes an animation that comprises a set of instructions, and the generating the composite identifier includes:

generating the composite identifier based on the first graphical avatar, the second graphical avatar, and the set of instructions of the animation.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

generating an ephemeral message that includes the composite identifier, the ephemeral message comprising a display duration.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the receiving the input that identifies the second user profile includes:

causing display of a set of user identifiers that include the second user identifier; and

receiving a selection of the second user identifier from among the set of user identifiers.
