Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing a user interface for relative device positioning. The program and method provide for receiving a first location of a first device associated with a first user, and a second location of a second device associated with a second user, the first and second users corresponding to contacts in a messaging application; providing an indication of the second location to the first device, and an indication of the first location to the second device; determining that a direction in which the first device is pointing corresponds to the second location, and that a direction in which the second device is pointing corresponds to the first location; providing, in response to the determining, a notification to at least one of the first device or the second device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing reduced availability modes in messaging. The program and method provide for maintaining a count of consecutive time periods in which message content has been exchanged between a first user and a second user in a messaging application; receiving, from a device associated with the first user, a request to set an availability mode for the first user to a reduced availability mode with respect to the messaging application; setting, in response to receiving the request, the availability mode for the first user to the reduced availability mode; and refraining from updating the count while the availability mode is set to the reduced availability mode.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for password protecting selected message content. The program and method provide for receiving selection of a content item shared between a first user and a second user, in association with a messaging application; receiving input indicating that access to the content item requires user authentication by the first user or the second user; and providing for access to the content item based on the user selection and the input.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing permissions for accessing shared content collections. The program and method provide for receiving, from a first device associated with a first user, an indication of first user input to share a content collection between the first user and a second user selected by the first user, the content collection comprising at least one media content item, the second user corresponding to a contact of the first user within a messaging application; storing the content collection in association with the first user and the second user; providing the first user with a first set of permissions for accessing the content collection; and providing the second user with a second set of permissions for accessing the content collection, the second set of permissions being more restrictive than the first set of permissions.

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.
