METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING DISPLAY OF MESSAGES OF GROUP CHAT

A computing device (400) performs a method of managing the display of messages on its screen. After receiving a first user request to open a target communication window on the screen, the computing device (400) opens the target communication window and displays a first set of messages associated with the group chat in the target communication window, which was received by the computing device (400) after last closure of the target communication window and includes a recently-received message. After receiving a second user request to access an earlier-received message after the last closure of the target communication window, the computing device (400) replaces the display of the first set of messages with the display of a second set of messages in the target communication window, which was received by the computing device (400) after the last closure of the target communication window and includes the earlier- received message.
