Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to determining graphical element(s) (e.g., emojis, GIFs, stickers) for inclusion in an electronic communication being formulated by a user via a computing device of the user, and providing the graphical element(s) for inclusion in the electronic communication. For example, the graphical element(s) may be provided for presentation to the user via a display of the computing device of the user and, in response to user interface input directed to one of the graphical element(s), that graphical element may be incorporated in the electronic communication. In various implementations, the electronic communication is a communication to be submitted as part of a dialog that involves the user and one or more additional users.
