Abstract

An electronic device, while displaying messaging user interface that includes a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a plurality of electronic stickers, and a message-input area, detects a drag gesture that starts while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to an electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers, and in response, moves the electronic sticker in the first direction in accordance with movement of the drag gesture. Upon termination of the drag gesture while the focus selector is at a second location in the messaging user interface, if the second location is within the conversation transcript, the electronic device places the electronic sticker in the conversation transcript at a location based on the second location, and otherwise ceases to display the electronic sticker.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device having one or more processors, memory, a touch-sensitive surface, and a display:
displaying a messaging user interface of a messaging application on the display, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a plurality of electronic stickers, and a message-input area;
while displaying the messaging user interface, detecting a first drag gesture that starts while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to a first electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers, the first drag gesture moving the focus selector in a first direction;
moving the first electronic sticker in the first direction in accordance with movement of the first drag gesture;
detecting termination of the first drag gesture while the focus selector is at a second location in the messaging user interface; and,
in response to detecting termination of the first drag gesture:
in accordance with a determination that the second location is within the conversation transcript, placing the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript at a location based on the second location, and
in accordance with a determination that the second location in not within the conversation transcript, ceasing to display the first electronic sticker at the second location on the display.

2. The method of claim 1 , including:
in response to detecting termination of the first drag gesture, in accordance with a determination that the second location is within the conversation transcript:
transmitting information that represents the first electronic sticker to one or more electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging session, wherein the one or more electronic devices display a corresponding representation of the first electronic sticker in a corresponding location within a corresponding conversation transcript.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location based on the second location is the second location.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversation transcript includes display of one or more objects posted to the messaging session, the location based on the second location is a nearest position in a plurality of positions that are defined by the positions of the one or more objects posted to the messaging session.

5. The method according to claim 1 , including:
detecting a user input while the focus selector is at a third position that corresponds to a second electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers;
in response to detecting the user input while the focus selector is at the third position:
in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more sticker-selection-criteria, displaying the second electronic sticker in the message-input area; and
in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more sticker-posting-criteria, displaying the sticker in the conversation transcript at a location that corresponds to a next message insertion point.

6. The method of claim 1 , including:
detecting a user input while the focus selector is at a fourth position that corresponds to a third electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers, wherein the third electronic sticker is associated with a sticker animation;
in response to detecting the user input while the focus selector is at the fourth position, in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more animation preview criteria, previewing the sticker animation associated with the third electronic sticker.

7. The method according to claim 1 , including:
prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers:
displaying the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user and an application affordance;
while displaying the messaging user interface, detecting an input that activates the application affordance;
in response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance:
maintaining display of at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display, and
displaying the plurality of electronic stickers in a second area of the display.

8. The method according to claim 1 , including:
prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers:
displaying the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user and an application affordance;
while displaying the messaging user interface, detecting an input that activates the application affordance;
in response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance:
maintaining display of at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display, and
displaying a first interactive application icon, which is one of a plurality of interactive application icons, in a second area of the display;

while displaying the first interactive application icon in the second area of the display, detecting a first swipe gesture that includes horizontal movement of a first contact at a location that corresponds to the second area of the display; and
in accordance with a determination that the first swipe gesture satisfies one or more interactive application icon switching criteria, replacing display of the first interactive application icon with display of the plurality of electronic stickers in the second area of the display.

9. The method according to claim 1 , including:
prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers:
displaying the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user and an application affordance;
while displaying the messaging user interface, detecting an input that activates the application affordance;
in response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance:
maintaining display of at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display, and
displaying, in a second area of the display that includes a plurality of application launch icons, an application launch icon for a sticker pack;

while displaying the plurality of application launch icons, detecting an input that activates the application launch icon for the sticker pack; and,
in response to detecting the input that activates the application launch icon for the sticker pack, replacing display of the plurality of application launch icons with display of the plurality of electronic stickers in the second area of the display.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electronic stickers is a plurality of objects contained within a digital image, wherein:
the first electronic sticker corresponds to an object displayed at the first location at a start of the first drag gesture; and
moving the first electronic sticker includes displaying an animation of peeling the first electronic sticker from the digital image.

11. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a touch-sensitive surface;
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying a messaging user interface of a messaging application on the dis
