Abstract
A method includes determining participation in an interaction function by a first user of an interaction system with a second user of the interaction system. The method also includes accessing profile data of the first user, and determining, based on the profile data, whether the first user has captured or designated a first-user self-image for use in the interaction function. In response to determining that the first user has not captured or designated the first-user self-image, the method includes accessing a media content item that includes a character, identifying a head portion of the character in the media content item, replacing the head portion with a placeholder space, and displaying the media content item with the placeholder space in a user interface corresponding to the interaction function.
