Abstract
A system that generates animated visual cues for providing previews that indicate the availability of associated content is provided. The system can display a landing page in response to a command to display selected content, such as messages of a chat session. The landing page generates a visual cue that displays an animated preview of associated content, such as files related to the chat session, concurrently with the selected content before transitioning to view that shows the selected content, such as a chat session UI. The disclosed techniques also enable systems to generate a visual bounce cue providing awareness of salient content. For example, a device displaying selected content, e.g., messages in a chat session UI, may create a controlled animated movement of the chat session UI to let a user know of an update to associated content that may be displayed in a UI layer under the selected content.
