Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automating user input using onscreen content. For example, a method includes receiving a selection of a first image representing a previously captured screen of a mobile device, the first image having a corresponding timestamp, determining a set of stored user input actions that occur prior to the timestamp corresponding to the first image and after a timestamp corresponding to a reference image, the reference image representing another previously captured screen of the mobile device, and providing a user interface element configured to, when selected, initiate a replaying of the set of user input actions on the mobile device, starting from a state corresponding to the reference image.
