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.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for monitoring user activity on a messaging platform. The operations include receiving, from a first client device, a request to access a group portal associated with a group of users; in response to receiving the request, generating, for display in a first section of the group portal, a first identifier of a first user of the group of users; accessing activity information associated with the first user being descriptive of one or more messages sent by a second client device of the first user to a set of recipients; and generating, for display in a second section of the group portal, the activity information associated with the first user excluding contents of the one or more messages sent by the second client device.

Abstract: A messaging system for exchanging data over a network, configuring an intermediate connection tier system that provides a multi-tier connections messaging framework. The intermediate connection tier system generates, based on the contact data of a user, an intermediate tier of connected user accounts. Each account in the intermediate tier of connected user accounts is provided with messaging privileges with respect to the account of the user, without being associated with expanded access connection tier links, sometimes referred to as friendship links, between their respective accounts with respect to the account of the user.

Abstract: A social network image pool system can capture one or more image data items (e.g., image, video) in a temporary persistent post pool. The post pool enables for efficient capture of multiple image data items for publishing in a manner that allows multiple images data items to be captured while preserving the editability of the multiple items before they are published to a social network site.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting subtitles. The systems and methods include accessing, by a user device, a video discovery graphical user interface that includes a plurality of videos; receiving a user input that gradually reduces volume of the user device; determining that the volume of the user device has gradually been reduced by the user input until a mute state has been reached in which audio output of the user device is disabled; and in response to determining that the volume of the user device has gradually been reduced until the mute state has been reached, automatically causing subtitles of a first video of the plurality of videos to be displayed during playback of the first video.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide for control of an external display by a client device. In one aspect, a system includes at least one electronic hardware processor and an electronic hardware memory, operably connected to the at least one electronic hardware processor, and storing instructions that configure the at least one electronic hardware processor to transmit a barcode to a first client device, establish an authenticated session with a second client device, receive an indication of the barcode from the second client device via the authenticated session, receive input from the second client device indicating a selection of content, access the selected content via the authenticated session, and transmit the selected content to the first client device based on the barcode received from the second client device.
