In the process of using the social applications, in order to express the words of thinking more vividly and vividly, users often send some dynamic expressions as conversation messages, and the interestingness of communication among the users can be greatly promoted in a mode of carrying out conversation through the dynamic expressions.

In practical application, it is common practice to put all available free emoticons or pay emoticons unlocked at one time after paying. The expression is generally an expression sent by a single party, and no subsequent function exists after the expression is sent, and because the expression function is basic, all expressions only need to be listed directly, so that the user does not have the desire to explore the expressions. Therefore, the current expression sending method is single and lacks interaction, so that the expression sending interestingness is low.

This section is intended to provide a background or context to the embodiments of the disclosure recited in the claims and the description herein is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.
