Abstract
System and methods for uploading media content in an instant messaging application are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a first electronic device having one or more processors and memory: obtaining a request by a first user to associate a media content item with a conversation between the first user and a second user. The conversation includes a message and one or more responses to the message. In some implementations, the method also includes, responsive to the request: (i) causing a thumbnail of the media content item to be displayed in-line in the conversation; and (ii) causing the media content item to be display to the second user, in response to a predefined user action by the second user. The thumbnail is displayed in a first resolution; and the media content item is displayed in a second resolution that is different than the first resolution.
