1. A computer-implemented method of managing a plurality of user profiles associated with a first user account of a first user client in an asynchronous messaging system, the method comprising:

  • a) receiving and storing at a server of the asynchronous messaging system, in association with authentication to the first user account, respective profile specifications for the plurality of user profiles associated with the first user account, the plurality of user profiles comprising a first user profile and a second user profile different from the first user profile;

    b) receiving at the server a first input associated with the first user account, and determining an association of the first user profile to a second user account in the asynchronous messaging system;

    c) responsive to process b), transmitting by the server the first user profile to a second user client associated with the second user account for storage at the second user client as a local copy of the first user profile;

    d) receiving at the server a second input associated with the first user account, and determining an association of the second user profile to a third user account in the asynchronous messaging system; and

    e) responsive to process d), transmitting by the server the second user profile to a third user client associated with the third user account for storage at the third user client as a local copy of the second user profile,wherein process b) comprises;

    receiving at the server in association with authentication to the first user account an update of a profile specification of the first user profile and in response generating and storing at the server an updated profile specification of the first user profile; and

    determining by the server that a second user contact list associated with the second user account contains a first user account entry identifying the first user account,wherein the first user profile transmitted to the second user client comprises the updated profile specification of the first user profile.
