Abstract:
A device implementing a system for sharing groups of files within a messaging application includes a processor configured to provide, within the messaging application, a user interface element for sending at least one file to a participant in an active message thread of the messaging application, the at least one file having been determined to be relevant to the participant. The processor is further configured to, responsive to receiving a selection of the user interface element: transmit, to a server, a request to store the at least one file in association with a shared storage area, and to transmit, via the messaging application, a message to the participant in the active message thread, the message comprising information for accessing the at least one file associated with the shared storage area.
Abstract:
A messaging system includes a first messaging app on a first device and a second messaging app, on a second device, that can exchange messages (e.g. text messages, etc.), and the second messaging on can transmit content from a second extension app that operates with the second messaging app to the first messaging app that operates with a first extension app. The content can be opaque to the messaging app, but can be processed by the extension apps to display live, dynamic content in message bubbles in a message transcript of a conversation.
Abstract:
The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for sender verification for encrypted electronic messaging. The discloses systems and methods may facilitate reducing or preventing spam messages between electronic devices. An electronic device may determine, prior to sending an electronic message to another device with a first level of encryption that is higher than a second level of encryption, whether the electronic device is eligible to send the message with the first level of encryption. If an electronic device determines that it is ineligible to send the message with the first level of encryption to another electronic device, a first message from the electronic device to the other electronic device may be sent with the second level of encryption as part of an unencrypted or low encryption handshake between the devices.
Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to a mobile device, such as a smart phone, and associated method for enabling the mobile device to act as a communication proxy for an accessory device, such as a smart watch. The mobile device may be capable of providing proxy communication services for messages received from / provided to the accessory device even when the accessory device has not properly registered for the respective message service.
