Abstract
This disclosure describes a system that enables a user to efficiently view messages of a conversation that are more relevant to the user. The system is configured to display content of a first application within an application user interface (UI) and to determine that a message of a second application being monitored includes a trigger feature that comprises a piece of information or an interaction from another user that is worthy of the user's attention. The system can then generate a visual notification for the trigger feature. The visual notification can be displayed in association with a graphical element of the application UI. Upon receiving an indication of a selection of the visual notification, the system can switch from displaying the content of the first application to displaying the message of the second application and trigger feature and/or change visual characteristics associated with the message to bring focus to the message.
