    Abstract: A method and system for identifying and displaying a messaging application user's top groups based on their activity levels are disclosed. The messaging application tracks messaging interactions initiated by a user to multiple user groups over a predetermined time period. The application assigns a score to each group based on attributes of the interactions such as type, frequency, and recency. The groups are ranked based on the scores, and a subset of top scoring groups is selected. These top groups are displayed in the messaging interface in a dedicated region, allowing quick access to recent highly-engaged groups. The top groups may be displayed alongside individual contacts identified as best friends. Users can customize graphical icons associated with each top group. The techniques rely on observed user interaction patterns to identify meaningful top groups specific to each user.

    Abstract: Method starts with a processor receiving first media content item from first client device and selection of invitation media overlay to be applied to first media content item. Processor generates modified first media content item by overlaying invitation media overlay on first media content item. Processor generates shared collection of media content items comprising modified first media content item. Processor receives selection of second and third user and causes modified first media content item to be displayed by second and third client devices. Processor receives selection of invitation media overlay from second and third client devices and causes shared collection to be displayed second and the third client devices. Processor receives second media content item from second client device, updates shared collection to comprise second media content item and causes updated shared collection to be displayed by first and third client devices.

    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: 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: Method of generating invitation media overlays for private collections starts with processor receiving first media content item from first client device associated with first user. Processor receives from first client device a selection of invitation media overlay to be applied to media content item. Invitation media overlay is associated with private collection of media content items. Processor generates modified first media content item by overlaying invitation media overlay on first media content item. Processor generates the private collection of media content items including modified first media content item. Processor receives from first client device selection of second user associated with the second user and causes modified first media content item to be displayed by the second client device. Processor receives selection of invitation media overlay from second client device and causes the private collection of media content items to be displayed by second client device.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for filtering conversations. The system generates for display, by a messaging application, a plurality of shortcut options, each of the plurality of shortcut options comprising a respective filtering criterion. In response to receiving input that selects a given shortcut option of the plurality of shortcut options, the system retrieves the filtering criterion associated with the given shortcut option. The system searches a plurality of conversations to identify a subset of conversations that match the filtering criterion. The system generates for display together with the plurality of shortcut options, a plurality of representations of the identified subset of conversations in which one or more messages have been exchanged between a user and one or more friends of the user.
