Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing contextual data for candidate recipients. The program and method provide for receiving, from a device of a user, an indication of first user input to select recipients for a message generated by the user; in response to receiving the indication of first user input, determining a first set of candidate recipients, from among plural candidate recipients, having a respective active content collection associated therewith, and determining a second set of candidate recipients having available location data associated therewith; and causing the device to display a recipient selection interface with a respective cell for each candidate recipient. The recipient selection interface differentiates display of the respective cells for the first set of candidate recipients, and further differentiates display of the respective cells for the second set of candidate recipients.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a method for managing chat conversation retention models. The method may include causing display of an interface that enables a user to select one of multiple retention models for association with an electronic chat conversation, and receiving, via the selector interface, a selection of a particular retention model. The retention model specifies an amount of time that each individual message in the electronic chat conversation is accessible upon being read by a receiving user. The method further includes storing a newly received message as part of the chat conversation, where the storing includes configuring a retention duration attribute for the message in accordance with the amount of time specified by the retention model. The method further includes erasing the message in accordance with the retention duration attribute.

Abstract: A chatbot system for an interactive platform. The chatbot receives prompts in a form of interactive platform posts to the interactive platform, and generates responses in the form of the interactive platform posts. In an aspect, the chatbot system generates messages that are used on the interactive platform for group chats with multiple users and 1:1 chats with a single user. In another aspect, a user may customize a chatbot to create a personal chatbot having a persona. In some examples, prompts to the chatbot from the user are analyzed to filter out abusive language and/or harmful content.

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: Systems and methods are provided for presenting videos. The systems and methods access a video playback graphical user interface (GUI) that automatically plays back a plurality of videos in sequence. The systems and methods determine, by the one or more processors, a current mute state of the video playback GUI, a disabled mute state allowing output of audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos, and an enabled mute state preventing the output of the audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos. The systems and methods conditionally present an indicator that visually informs a user that audio is currently in the enabled mute state while an individual video of the plurality of videos is being played back based on the current mute state of the GUI.

Abstract: Method of generating modified media content items for sharing to external applications starts with a processor receiving a media content item from a client device. Processor causes a sharing interface to be displayed on the client device. Sharing interface includes selectable items associated with external applications. Processor receives from the client device a selection of a first selectable item of the selectable items that is associated with a first external application of the external applications. Processor determines an attribute associated with the media content item. Processor generates a modified media content item based on the first external application and the attribute associated with the media content item and causes the modified media content item to be displayed in the first external application activated on the client device. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
