Abstract: A messaging system in one embodiment includes a messaging app and one or more sticker extension apps configured to create a sticker image and render a sticker image that is displayed in a view hosted by the messaging app. The messaging app can launch, from a browsable view that includes one or more sticker extension apps, one or more of the sticker extension apps, and a sticker image created by one of the sticker extension apps can be communicated between the sticker extension app and the messaging app through an interprocess communication.

Abstract: Aspects of subject technology provide systems and methods for generation and distribution of a stable identifier associated with multiple aliases of a user account. The stable identifier may be provided to various electronic devices by a server, responsive to requests associated with communications to those devices from one of the associated aliases. In this way, messaging applications can utilize the stable identifier to merge conversations from a single user having multiple aliases, and secure access to a secure device can be provided to an authorized user, even if the authorized user attempts access from an unauthorized account alias.

Abstract: A text messaging system which converts at the sending device a detected URL in a text message to a representative image or other content and transmits the representative image (which represents the URL) to one or more messaging servers for delivery to a receiving device. In one embodiment, the messaging servers do not have access to clear text of either the representative image or the URL. In one embodiment, the retrieval occurs in response to a selection of a send command. Heuristics (such as rules) can be used to determine whether to convert a detected URL.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, in response to a request received from a messaging system to categorize a message received from a remote sender, a messaging extension associated with the messaging client is identified. The message without a recipient identifier (ID) identifying a recipient of the message is transmitted to the messaging extension via a first application programming interface (API). The messaging extension is executed within a first sandboxed environment and the messaging extension is to perform a content analysis on the message to categorize the message. In response to a first analysis result received from the messaging extension, a response representing the first analysis result is transmitted to the messaging system, wherein the response indicates whether the message should be delivered or filtered.

Abstract: A device provides user interfaces for capturing and sending media, such as audio, video, or images, from within a messaging application. The device displays a message conversation having a media affordance. Responsive to contact on the media affordance, the device displays a record affordance and a send affordance. Responsive to contact on the record affordance, the device begins to record a video. Responsive to contact on the send affordance, the device sends the recorded video to the participants of the message conversation.

Abstract: A service for providing messaging extension apps can be an online store that can be browsed and searched for the apps. The store uses extension app identifiers which are related to app identifiers that are sent between devices in a conversation of messages so that a receiving device can, when it does not have the extension app installed to interact with received content, use the extension app identifier to download and install the required extension app. In one embodiment, the download and install can occur while the messaging app remains the foreground app, and the messaging app adds an icon of the newly installed extension app into a browsable tray in the UI of the messaging app.
