Abstract: In some examples, a method comprises displaying cover art in a given tile of a plurality of tiles, and detecting input that causes the given tile to move to a first display position. A video is generated responsive to the detected input and, without further user input or navigation, automatically presented in place of the cover art displayed in the given tile. While the video is being played back in the given tile, it is determined that the given tile has been moved to a second display position. In response to determining that the given tile has been moved to the second display position, the video playback is terminated.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for hiding conversation elements. The system accesses a conversation interface of a messaging application on a web browser and presents the conversation interface in a window associated with the web browser. The conversation interface comprising a plurality of conversation elements. The system determines that one or more inputs received from one or more input devices correspond to a specified combination of inputs. The system, in response to determining that the one or more inputs correspond to a specified combination of inputs, obscures a first subset of the plurality of conversation elements.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a messaging application implemented on a client device, input that selects a sound option to add sound to one or more images; in response to receiving the input, presenting a sound editing user interface element that visually indicates a played portion of the sound and separately visually indicates an un-played portion of the sound; receiving an interaction with the sound editing user interface element to modify a start point of the sound; embedding a graphical element representing the sound in the one or more images; playing, by the messaging application, the sound associated with the graphical element starting from the start point together with displaying the one or more images.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for joining community subgroups on a messaging platform. The methods and systems perform operations comprising: receiving, from a client device, account information associated with a user; searching, by a server, a list of communities to identify an individual community that corresponds to the account information; selecting a subgroup of a plurality of subgroups associated with the individual community in response to identifying the individual community; storing, by the server, the account information in association with the individual community; and adding the user to the subgroup to enable the client device of the user to access information of the selected subgroup that is exclusively available to members of the subgroup.

Abstract: A sender holds a first platform account with an interaction system. The sender selects a content item to be shared with a recipient. In response to determining that a recipient identifier of the recipient is not linked to a platform account, an off-platform communication is transmitted to a second user device associated with the recipient identifier. The off-platform communication is in an electronic format supported by the second user device and contains a user-selectable registration link. In response to detecting establishment of a second platform account linked to the recipient identifier, the recipient is enabled to access the content item on the second user device via a user interface provided by an interaction application. A relationship between the first platform account and the second platform account is established within the interaction system.

Abstract: Embodiments for communicating and displaying collections of image and video clip content with an opt-out interstitial are described. In one example embodiment, a device receives interface information about a group of content collections from a server computer system. When a user inputs a selection of a first content collection, the device displays images and video clips in a sequence defined by the content collection. Each piece of content is displayed for less than a threshold display time. When the device finishes playing the first content collection, the device presents an opt-out interstitial. Additional content collections generated from content submitted by other client devices can be received from the server computer system, and are presented based on a response input, or a lack of response input, to the opt-out interstitial. Some embodiments include content collections generated by the server computer system, as well as advertising elements presented between content collections.

Abstract: In some examples, a technique according to the present disclosure includes detecting a determinable interaction pattern of interactions by a first user, via a user system, with a content item communicated on an interaction system by a second user. The determinable interaction pattern may comprise multiple access actions with respect to the content item by the first user. Responsive to detecting the determinable interaction pattern, an action graphical user interface element, that is user selectable to enable the first user to perform an action related to the content item, is automatically activated.
