Interaction applications of two or more users receives notifications of a mutual affinity relationship between the first user and the second user. The interaction applications configure respective mutual affinity widgets by associating the mutual affinity widget with the respective other user.

Upon detecting a selection of the mutual affinity widget by a first user, a message creation interface is provided to the first user and a message is generated based on an image captured by the first user using the message creation user interface. The message is then sent to a second user. The second user uses their own mutual affinity widget to access the message.
