iMessage Movie Suggestions
The iOS messaging app has the potential to implement smart features for users to achieve various goals. In this case, the goal is to quickly find tv shows/movies to watch with a friend. The video content recommendation feature would use key words in the context of an iMessage conversation to give suggestions based on the users’ existing apps.
Smart Word Detection
The new message feature will highlight tv show/movie genres based on the conversation between users. The user can tap on the “smart word” to see suggestions.
Movie Suggestions
Tapping on the movie genre smart word opens a container with movie suggestions from apps already downloaded.
Movie Suggestion Cards
Clicking on the movie suggestion card opens a larger version of the card with detailed information, such as a movie description, trailers, apps to watch it on, etc.
Sending Suggestions
One quick tap of the blue arrow brings the movie card into the user’s text thread.
User Flow Prototype
I used Figma to prototype the user flow and give a visual representation of how the iMessage Movie Suggestions feature would flow when developed.
