Abstract

A server system having one or more processors and memory receives a respective electronic message associated with audio data and determines whether the respective electronic message is associated with a voicemail tag that identifies the audio data as including a voicemail message. In accordance with a determination that the respective electronic message is associated with the voicemail tag, the server system sends an audio player object for playing the audio data along with the respective electronic message when the respective electronic message is delivered to a client. In accordance with a determination that the respective electronic message is not associated with the voicemail tag, the server system sends the respective electronic message without the audio player object when the respective electronic message is delivered to a client.
