    Abstract: A map-based graphical user interface (GUI) for a social media platform provides a map window that displays an interactive map that is movable within the map window responsive to user input. User icons for respective friend users of a user associated with a client device on which the map-based GUI is generated are displayed in the map window at respective locations on the interactive map. A predefined portion of the map window defines a focus area. Context information for respective friend users are automatically surface for those friend icons located within the focus area, while such context information are automatically omitted or de-surfaced for those friend icons outside of the focus area.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for radial gesture navigation are provided. In example embodiments, user input data is received from a user device. The user input data indicates a continuous physical user interaction associated with a display screen of the user device. An initial point and a current point are detected from the user input data. A radius distance for a circle that includes the current point and is centered about the initial point is determined. An action is selected from among multiple actions based on the radius distance being within a particular range among successive ranges along a straight line that starts at the initial point and extends through the circle. Each range among the successive ranges corresponds to a particular action among the multiple actions. The selected action is performed in response to detecting a completion of the continuous physical user interaction.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring and updating a real-time communication session using location data of computer devices within the real-time communication session. The systems and methods receives location data of multiple client devices in the real-time communication session using one or more location sensors on the client device and determines that a first client device and a second client device in the real-time communication session are within a pre-configured distance. In response to determining that the first client device and the second client device are within the pre-configured physical distance, the systems and methods causes display of an updated communication session user interface on the plurality of client devices, the updated communication user interface displaying an indication that the first client device and the second client device are within the pre-configured physical distance.
