Abstract
This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that analyze a previously unrecognized communication number associated with a sender of a direct digital message when a client device receives the direct digital message from the previously unrecognized communication number. Based on this analysis, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems provide profile information associated with the communication number for the client device to present together with the direct digital message. To find relevant profile information for the communication number, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems optionally query a social networking system for profile information connected to the communication number.
