Abstract: Systems, devices, methods and instructions are described for generating and displaying a reply menu within a graphical user interface (GUI). One embodiment involves receiving a selection of messages received at a client device, detecting a reply message generated by the first client device in response to selected messages, generating a reply menu comprising an ordered list of user account identifiers, the user account identifiers representing user accounts, each user account associated with a corresponding selected message, causing display of the reply menu within a GUI, receiving a selection of a subset of user account identifiers from the reply menu, initiating independent communication sessions with the selected subset of user account identifiers and transmitting the reply message via independent communication sessions.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe generating a shared list of media elements. The system detects a selection of an application icon within a chat interface and generates an application interface. The application interface comprises a media library. The system initiates a first user time limit and detects a selection of a media element from the media library. The system adds the media element to a shared list of media elements. Upon expiration of the first user time limit, the system initiates a second user time limit and detects a selection of a second media element from the media library. The system adds the second media element to the shared list of media elements. Upon expiration of the second user time limit, the system stores the shared list of media elements.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to maintain an ephemeral gallery of ephemeral messages. In response to a view request received from a client device over a distributed computer network, the message collection is supplied to the requesting device by causing automated sequential display on the client device of the ephemeral messages in the collection. The automated sequential display provides display of the messages one after another in chronological sequence such that the oldest message is displayed first.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and instructions are described for generating and using expressive icons with status indicators for a map based graphical user interface (GUI). One embodiment involves accessing location information, map data icon information, and action indicator information associated with an account of a social media platform. A device then causes generation of a combined action icon generated using the icon information and the action indicator and causes display of a map interface with the map data and the combined action icon positioned at a location indicated by the location information.

Abstract: In some examples, a computer-implemented method includes accessing a contact database of a sending user, the contact database includes a plurality of contact records, each contact record of the plurality of contact records being associated with a respective user and including respective graphic data, identifying a first set of contact records of the plurality of contact records, each contact record of the first set of contact records having common graphic data as part of the respective graphic data, automatically including the first set of contact records in a contact group of a messaging application of the sending user, detecting a send message operation by a messaging application of the sending user, and causing presentation of a user-selectable graphic icon associated with the contact group within the messaging application, the user-selectable graphic icon being selectable by the sending user to send a message to the contact group.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to generation of media collections in a messaging system. The media collection may be created by the user, other users, or an entity. Example embodiments further allow users to set access criteria through privacy settings assigned to one or more media content items themselves, as well as to a media collection, such that some or all of the media collection may only be viewed by users authorized by the user sharing the media content item or media collection (e.g., only to one or more users designated by the user as a “friend”).

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, instructions, and media are described for generating suggestions for connections between accounts in a social media system. One embodiment involves storing connection graph information for a plurality of user accounts, and identifying, by one or more processors of the device, a first set of connection suggestions based on a first set of suggestion metrics. A second set of connection suggestions is then identified based on a second set of suggestion metrics, wherein the second set of connection suggestions and the second set of suggestion metrics are configured to obscure the first set of connection suggestions, and a set of suggested connections is generated based on the first set of connection suggestions and the second set of connection suggestions. The set of connection suggestions is then communicated to a client device method associated with the first account.

Abstract: Systems, devices, instructions, and methods are provided for a computing device comprising a display screen, with the computing device configured to display on the display screen a content feed interface for communication cells for a plurality of user accounts associated with a first user account, and at least one high-signal suggestion cell of a user account not associated with the first user account. Each of the communication cells is associated with a communication from a corresponding user account of the plurality of user accounts and a direct user interface target area for display of one or more content elements. The high-signal suggestion cell is associated with a set number of actionless impression displays within the content feed interface before the high-signal suggestion cell is removed from the content feed interface.
