Abstract

In a client device having one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors, graphic icons of one or more users who have provided user feedback for a first content item are displayed. Each of the graphic icons is displayed in a respective region of a display area. The client device transitions from displaying one or more of the graphic icons to displaying, in the respective regions of the display area corresponding to the one or more of the graphic icons, user feedback for the first content item provided by respective users.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

at a client device having one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors;

displaying graphic icons of one or more users who have provided user feedback for a first content item, each of the graphic icons being displayed in a respective region of a display area; and

transitioning from displaying one or more of the graphic icons to displaying, in the respective regions of the display area corresponding to the one or more of the graphic icons, user feedback for the first content item provided by respective users.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the transitioning comprises displaying a flip animation of the graphic icons to reveal the respective user feedback.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising, after transitioning from displaying the one or more of the graphic icons to displaying the user feedback provided by the respective users, transitioning back from displaying the user feedback provided by the respective users to displaying the one or more of the graphic icons in their respective regions of the display area.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user feedback for the first content item provided by each of the respective users corresponds to a facial expression of a range of facial expressions, each facial expression of the range of facial expressions corresponding to an opinion of a range of opinions.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising concurrently displaying comments for the first content item of one or more users and the user feedback for the first content item.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein:

displaying the graphic icons comprises displaying graphic icons for two or more users who have provided user feedback for the first content item; and

the transitioning is performed with respect to only some of the two or more users.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein:

displaying the graphic icons comprises displaying graphic icons for two or more users who have provided user feedback for the first content item; and

the transitioning is performed with respect to all of the two or more users.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting a user input, wherein the transitioning is performed in response to detecting the user input.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein detecting the user input comprises detecting a selection of a user feedback affordance.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising displaying a second content item prior to displaying graphic icons of one or more users who have provided user feedback for the first content item,

wherein detecting the user input comprises detecting a swipe gesture while displaying the second content item.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

transitioning, in response to detecting the swipe gesture, from displaying the second content item to concurrently displaying the first content item with the graphic icons;

wherein transitioning from displaying the one or more of the graphic icons to displaying the user feedback is performed at a predefined time after transitioning from displaying the second content item to concurrently displaying the first content item with the graphic icons.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising concurrently displaying the first content item and a user-feedback interface for the first content item;

wherein detecting the user input comprises detecting selection of the user-feedback interface.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein:

the user-feedback interface is displayed in a specified region of the display area;

the respective regions of the display area in which the graphic icons are displayed overlap with at least a portion of the specified region in which the user-feedback interface is displayed; and

selection of the user-feedback interface comprises detecting the user input on one of the respective regions of the display area in which the graphic icons are displayed.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising displaying an expanded view of the user-feedback interface in response to detecting selection of the user-feedback interface,

wherein displaying the graphic icons of the one or more users and the transitioning are performed while displaying the expanded view of the user-feedback interface.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising concurrently displaying the first content item with the graphic icons of the one or more users.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the transitioning is performed after a predefined duration of time has elapsed since beginning to display the graphic icons.

17. A client device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

displaying graphic icons of one or more users who have provided user feedback for a first content item, each of the graphic icons being displayed in a respective region of a display area; and

transitioning from displaying one or more of the graphic icons to displaying, in the respective regions of the display area corresponding to the one or more of the graphic icons, user feedback for the first content item provided by respective users.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a client device, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying graphic icons of one or more users who have provided user feedback for a first content item, each of the graphic icons being displayed in a respective region of a display area; and
