    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interfaces to facilitate communication between users via multiple modes of electronic communication. The system displays a conversation view that presents messages exchanged between a first user and at least one other user in an electronic chat conversation. The conversation view includes an interactive element to enable the first user to initiate a video call with the at least one other user. Based on receiving user input corresponding to an interaction with the interactive element, the system initiates the video call with the at least one other user. The system displays an active call view to facilitate the video call with the at least one other user. The system toggles from displaying the active call view to displaying the conversation view in response to further user input.

    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for a messaging or chat application on a mobile electronic device launches, responsive to user-selection of a particular message cell in the GUI, a contextual message overlaid on an underlying scrollable message board or list. The action menu comprises a preview area displaying a preview of message content of the selected message cell, and further comprises one or more user-selectable action items for executing respective corresponding user actions with respect to the selected message. The preview area is automatically scaled and positioned dependent on one or more attributes of the selected message cell.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for providing a platform that facilitates communication between a messaging application and a web-based gaming application. The web-based gaming application is launched, via the platform, from the messaging application. Context of the messaging application from which the web-based gaming application was launched is determined. The context of the messaging application is communicated, via the platform, to the web-based gaming application. A feature of the messaging application is integrated, via the platform, into the web-based gaming application based on the context from which the web-based gaming application was launched.

    Abstract: A system and method for receiving a user interaction with a user interface of a client device, determining a current communication mode and a desired communication mode, where the desired communication mode is determined based on the user interaction received by the sensor module. The system further sets the desired communication mode as the current communication mode, and causes presentation of a user interface of the client device based on the desired communication mode being set as the current communication mode.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatic arrangement of communications for improved functionality. A client device presents a stacked set of conversation cells on a display of the client device. The stacked set of conversation cells is stacked such that a first conversation cell corresponding to a first chat conversation from the stacked set of conversation cells is a top conversation cell of the stacked set of conversation cells. While presenting the stacked set of conversation cells, the client device receives a first chat communication that is a part of a second chat conversation that is different than the first chat conversation. In response to the receiving of the first chat communication, the client device modifies the presentation of the stacked set of conversation cells such that a second conversation cell corresponding to the second chat conversation is presented as the top conversation cell of the stacked set of conversation cells

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing multiple versions of an application in a social network are described. In some aspects, a first version of the application provides a first set of features while a second version of the application provides the first set of features and also a second set of features. Both the first version of the application and the second version of the application access the same application state data, which may be maintained by a back-end system, such as a social network. When the state data is updated by one or the other versions of the application, a notification may be provided to the other version of the application informing it of the update. The application state data may represent, for example, a shared gaming environment accessed by both the first and second versions of the application.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and computer readable media with instructions for group text communications between multiple devices, along with communication of associated data and automatic deletion of communications, are described. One embodiment involves generating a first ephemeral group chat, receiving a first ephemeral chat message, associated with one or more deletion triggers, and transmitting the first ephemeral message; and receiving, from at least the second client device, chat monitoring information comprising first deletion trigger information. In various embodiments, coordinated presentation and deletion of ephemeral chat messages are managed in a variety of ways.
