Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for controlling connected devices. For example, a messaging application implemented on a client device detects a real-world object depicted in a received image and determines a current location of the client device. The messaging application identifies a plurality of robotic cleaning devices associated with an account of the messaging application. The messaging application transmits a message comprising the current location of the client device to a first robotic cleaning device of the plurality of robotic cleaning devices and causes the first robotic cleaning device to clean the real-world object depicted in the received image based on the message transmitted by the messaging application.
