1. An apparatus, comprising: (9) (2)

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: receive, from a messaging device, a first information element including an indication of message content;

determine an emotional state, responsive in part, to receiving a message including the message content;

determine an environmental state responsive in part, to receiving the message including the message content;

generate a second information element, the second information element to include an indication of the determined emotional state, an indication of the determined environmental state, and an indication to transiently present the indications of the determined emotional and environmental states; and

send the second information element to the messaging device.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (0) (2)

3. The apparatus of claim 1, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (0) (2)

4. The apparatus of claim 1, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (0) (2)

5. The apparatus of claim 1, comprising a sensor, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (1) (2)

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the indication of the determined emotional state comprises at least one emoji. (1) (0)

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the indication of the determined emotional state comprises a plurality of punctuation marks. (1) (0)

11. The apparatus of claim 1, the second information element further comprising an indication that the receiver of the message is in the process of responding to the message. (0)

12. The apparatus of claim 1, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (0) (2)

13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the emotional state of a user is determined, in part, based on at least one actively used application executed by the apparatus or a state of connection of at least one accessory to the apparatus. (0)

14. An apparatus comprising: (4) (2)

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: receive, from an input device, input signals including an indication of a message;

generate a first information element including the indication of the message;

send the first information element to a messaging device;

receive, from the messaging device, a second information element including an indication of an emotional state; and

send a control signal to a display to cause the display to transiently present the indication of the emotional state.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising the display, and (0) (1)

16. The apparatus of claim 14, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (1) (3)

generate a user interface;

present the message in the user interface; and

transiently present the indication of the emotional state in the user interface.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, the memory further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (0) (2)

18. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the indication of the emotional state comprises at least one emoji. (0)

19. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the indication of the emotional state comprises a plurality of punctuation marks. (1) (0)

21. At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor at a computing platform, cause the processor to: (2) (4)

receive, from a messaging device, a first information element including an indication of a message;

determine, based on a machine learning model, an emotional state of a user responding to the message;

generate a second information element including an indication of the determined emotional state and an indication to transiently present the indication of the determined emotional state; and

send the second information element to the messaging device.

22. The at least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 21, comprising instructions that further cause the processor to: (1) (2)

determine, based on the machine learning model, a plurality of possible emotional states of the user; and

generate a request to select a one of the plurality of possible emotional states to designate as the emotional state.

23. The at least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 22, comprising instructions that further cause the processor to: (0) (2)

24. The at least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 21, comprising instructions that further cause the processor to: (1) (2)
