Abstract
Examples described herein relate to techniques for facilitating selection of stickers for inclusion in messages within the context of an interaction system. According to some examples, sticker selection history data of a user of an interaction application is retrieved. Absence of a sticker suggestion trigger with respect to a messaging interface of the interaction application is detected. Presence of the sticker suggestion trigger results in presentation of a suggested sticker for transmission via the messaging interface. Based on the sticker selection history data and the absence of the sticker suggestion trigger, a sticker search icon state is selected. A search icon corresponding to the sticker search icon state is caused to be presented within the messaging interface.
