    Abstract: In some embodiments, users experience of engaging with augmented reality technology is enhanced by providing a process, referred to as face animation synthesis, that replaces an actors face in the frames of a video with a users face from the users portrait image. The resulting face in the frames of the video retains the facial expressions, as well as color and lighting, of the actors face but, at the same time, has the likeness of the users face. An example face animation synthesis experience can be made available to uses of a messaging system by providing a face animation synthesis augmented reality component.

    Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a voice chat system that provides voice chat functionality that enables users to dictate their messages, while delivering the resulting message to the intended recipient as both the associated audio and text content. When a user at a sender client device begins dictating a voice message, the voice chat system starts converting the received audio stream into text and, also, starts communicating the audio content together with the generated text to the recipient client device. The recipient user can listen to the voice message and read the text generated from the audio in real time. It is also possible for the recipient user to consume the voice message in a textual form only, if the sound at the client device is undesirable.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing a reply interface with selectable stickers for sending in a message. The program and method provide for receiving, by a first device of a first user, a media content item provided by a second device of a second user; determining, in response to receiving the media content item, a set of stickers for displaying with the media content item; and displaying, by the first device, the media content item together with a first reply interface and a second reply interface for sending a reply message to the second device. The first reply interface includes the set of stickers, each of which is selectable by the first user for sending to the second device. The second reply interface includes an input box for sending message content to the second device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating voice notes. In one embodiment, a messaging application implemented on a first participant computing device, receives a request to send a voice message to a second participant computing device in a communication session. In response to receiving the request, the messaging application selects a voice modification effect. The messaging application receives input to begin recording the voice message. While the voice message is being recorded, the messaging application receives speech input, modifies the speech input based on the voice modification effect in real time, and. continuously updates an audio file with the modified speech input. In response to receiving input to terminate recording the voice message, the messaging application provides a first option to playback the audio file and a second option to send the audio file as the voice message to the second participant computing device.

    Abstract: The technical problem of creating an augmented reality (AR) experience that, on one hand, is accessible from a camera view user interface provided with a messaging client and that, also, can perform a modification based on a previously captured image of a user, is addressed by providing an AR component. When a user, while accessing the messaging client, engages a user selectable element representing the AR component in the camera view user interface, the messaging system loads the AR component in the messaging client. The AR component comprises a target media content object, which can be animation or live action video. The loaded AR component accesses a portrait image associated with a user and modifies the target media content using the portrait image. The resulting target media content object is displayed in the camera view user interface.

    Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a screen recording system configured to address the technical problem of enhancing usability of a screen recording process while preserving users privacy in the messaging system. The screen recording system generates a camera view user interface including a screen recorder user selectable element, which is actionable to request recording of an output of a display system shown on a screen of a client device. When a user taps on or otherwise activates the screen recorder user selectable element, the screen recording system removes the foreground focus from the messaging client and causes to commence the recording of the output of the display system shown on the screen of the client device. The screen recording is automatically paused once the screen recording system detects a request to bring the messaging client to the foreground.
