CAPTURING AND SENDING IMAGES AND VIDEOS BASED ON A SINGLE USER INTERACTION WITH A USER INTERFACE ELEMENT

摘要

A user interacts with a messaging application on a client device to capture and send images to contacts or connections of the user, with a single user interaction. The messaging application installed on the client device, presents to the user a user interface. The user interface includes a camera view and a face tray including contact icons. On receiving a single user interaction with a contact icon in the face tray, the messaging application captures an image including the current camera view presented to the user, and sends the captured image to the contact represented by the contact icon. In another example, the messaging application may receive a single user interaction with a contact icon for a threshold period of time, and may capture a video for the threshold period of time, and send the captured video to the contact.
