Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a device comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing contextual information with a keyboard interface. The program and method provide for receiving a media content item provided by a second device; displaying, on a screen of the device, the media content item together with a reply element, the reply element being user-selectable to generate a reply message with respect to the media content item; receiving user selection of the reply element; and in response to receiving the user selection, displaying, in a first preset area of the screen, a keyboard interface for user selection of text to include in the reply message, and displaying, in a second preset area of the screen, a context information interface which is user-selectable to provide information corresponding to at least one type of context associated with the media content item.
