Used in: PersonaFull

• string bio = 1

  a biography or short biographical profile of someone

BotExtension is present if and only if this Persona is for a bot. Further bot-specific fields may be added in the future.

Used in: PersonaShort

• bool is_kin_verified = 1

  is_kin_verified indicates if this bot is verified/trusted/allowed to use Kin. Some important notes on the naming of these bot-related fields: Previously there has been some unfortunate use of very similar names for bot-related fields. In the legacy roster code, "verified" refers to a user being a bot, and is completely unrelated to Kin. That legacy use of "verified" is equivalent to "bot_extension" being present in a Persona. In AccountExtraInfoService and EntityService, "IsTrusted" is used to denote bots that are verified/trusted/allowed to use Kin, and is equivalent to "is_kin_verified" here.

• repeated Interests.InterestItem interests = 1

Used in: Interests

• string id = 1

  Key identifying the interest such that its name/description can be localized. The list of possible interests comes from the server via FeatureConfigService. For details see https://github.com/kikinteractive/xiphias-service-feature-config/blob/970dc4932506c6a176b5ad07df553988d596bbc7/feature-config-service/src/main/java/com/kik/featureconfig/rpc/impl/FeatureConfigServiceImpl.java#L153

• string localized_verbiage = 2

PersonaFull contains all the fields in PersonaShort plus some other fields. All of the fields common to PersonaShort will have the same value for the same PersonaId; e.g. the PersonaShort and PersonaFull for the same PersonaId will never have different DisplayNames, EmojiStatuses, etc. Like the PersonaShort fields, the additional PersonaFull fields are specific to this Persona, apart from Registration. The Registration field always shows when the owner of the Persona registered their account, rather than when that specific Persona was created. While the user/client can change the PersonaFull fields on demand (apart from Registration), generally they're not expected to change as often as the "actively changed" PersonaShort fields, and the server may not propagate those changes to clients as promptly as it does the actively-changed PersonaShort fields.

Used in: mobile.persona.v2.GetPersonaFullByUsernameResponse, mobile.persona.v2.GetPersonaFullResponse

• optional PersonaShort short = 1

  A PersonaFull extends/includes a PersonaShort. this.short.PersonaId is the PersonaId for this Persona.

• optional Bio bio = 2

  A text-only blurb written by the user, intended for them to describe themselves

• optional DisplayImage original_display_pic = 3

  original_display_pic is not the "standard"/"classic" display picture that everyone sees; instead it's the original display image the user took without any cropping/badges/etc. applied. The client can use the original_display_pic to reconstruct the display image if any of the parts of the composed image change.

• optional DisplayImage background_display_pic = 4

  A picture to appear behind the display image

• optional Registration registration = 5

  Contains the date when the owner of this Persona created their Kik account

• optional Interests interests = 6

  A list of activities/topics/etc. that the user has selected from a larger list created by Kik. Interests are currently set and stored in ProfileService. See https://kikinteractive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OW/pages/58720407/User+Interests and https://github.com/kikinteractive/xiphias-service-feature-config/blob/970dc4932506c6a176b5ad07df553988d596bbc7/feature-config-service/src/main/java/com/kik/featureconfig/rpc/impl/FeatureConfigServiceImpl.java#L153 for more details.

PersonaShort wraps a subset of the Persona fields. Depending on the context under which the client is displaying Persona info, only this smaller subset of the Persona fields may be required. All of these fields except username will be specific to a given Persona instance, that is they exist apart from the Persona's owner's account info and each Persona can have different values for these fields even when those Personas are owned by the same user. Username will only be returned in cases where the caller is allowed to know the username. The rules governing when username will be returned are not yet determined.

Used in: PersonaFull, mobile.contactlist.v2.GetContactListStreamResponse.ContactInfo, mobile.persona.v2.GetPersonaShortResponse

• optional v2.PersonaId persona_id = 1

• bool signalling_disabled = 2

  If signalling_disabled is set to true; then signals _may_ not be sent for this persona. Clients should periodically refresh their local stores for this persona, until signalling has been enabled.

• optional Username username = 3

  An optional field whose full use is still up in the air. If provided, this username string can be used to retrieve this Persona. For Genesis Personas, the user's account/login Username can be used to retrieve that Persona. Going forward, other Personas may have Usernames associated with them, however those Usernames will be unrelated to the account Username and will not be used for authentication/logging in.

• optional DisplayName display_name = 4

  The name displayed for this Persona when viewed by other users. It can be actively changed, i.e. users can change it easily and frequently, and we aim to propagate those changes to other clients promptly. When set DisplayName consists of a required first name and an optional last name, but when returned to the client the first name and last name are appended, and in fact the client treats the first space in this combined display name as the break between the first and last name, regardless of whether that matches the first and last name as stored on the server.

• optional DisplayImage display_image = 5

  In classic-Kik this is the ProfilePic. It can be actively changed. It's the image displayed to other users when they see this Persona in a chat list, or a chat with them, or viewing their Persona (i.e. viewing their Profile in classic-Kik).

• optional EmojiStatus emoji_status = 6

  EmojiStatus is an optional icon that appears with a Persona's DisplayImage. It does actively change.

• optional BotExtension bot_extension = 7

  Indicates that this Persona is for a bot. BotExtension also contains bot-specific information (see below). It does not actively change.

Used in: PersonaFull

• optional google.protobuf.Timestamp creation_date = 1

  System time of when the user originally created their account
