Abstract: A method, to manage an event invitation in a computer network environment, comprises presenting, using one or more processors, an event invitation creation indicium to a first user on a user interface of a computing device. Responsive to user selection of the event invitation creation indicium, an event creation interface is presented to receive event details. Responsive to receipt of the event details, an event invitation message is generated for communication, via a messaging system, by the first user to a second user of the messaging system, the event invitation message including a join indicium that is user-selectable to join a group chat related to the event. Responsive to a message send input from the first user, the event invitation message is sent, via the messaging system, from the first user to the second user. A request is received, from the second user, a request to join the group chat related to the event. A group chat message thread, associated with an event group including at least the first user and the second user, is then stored within the messaging system.

Abstract: A messaging system for exchanging data over a network, configuring an intermediate connection tier system that provides a multi-tier connections messaging framework. The intermediate connection tier system generates, based on the contact data of a user, an intermediate tier of connected user accounts. Each account in the intermediate tier of connected user accounts is provided with messaging privileges with respect to the account of the user, without being associated with expanded access connection tier links, sometimes referred to as friendship links, between their respective accounts with respect to the account of the user.

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.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may establish a video call between a first device associated with a first user and a second device associated with a second user of a communications platform. The system may present a video interface for the video call, the video interface comprising a first video stream generated by the first device of the first user and a second video stream generated by the second device associated with the second user. The system may present a first set of image augmentations selected by the communications platform in the video interface, the first set of video augmentations being selectable by the first user for augmentation of the first video stream generated by the first user device. The system may identify a second set of image augmentations used by a further set of users of the communications platform. The system may present the second set of image augmentations in the video interface, the second set of image augmentations being selectable by the first user for augmentation of the first video stream generated by the first user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving a first plurality of media content items during a first time interval, identifying, from the first plurality of media content items, a first subset of media content items based on a first characteristic, and identifying, from the first subset of media content items, a second subset of media content items based on a second characteristic. The systems and methods are also provided for generating a first sequenced content collection including the first subset and the second subset and causing a first content collection interface to be displayed by the first computing device, the first content collection interface comprising the first sequenced content collection.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and apparatuses for surfacing content items in a messaging system. The methods may include storing a content item generated by a client device of a user, the user associated with the messaging system and determining a score to assign to the interaction and updating a resurface score associated with the content item with the score. The methods may further include determining whether to resurface the content item to the user based on the resurface score and causing to be displayed on a display of the client device a user interface comprising a user interface item for the user to display the content item. The methods may further include updating weights used to determine the scores based on interactions of the user with the resurfaced content items.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving an ephemeral message, generating an event overlay interface, causing the event overlay interface to be overlaid on top of the ephemeral message, and receiving a selection of an event overlay component via the event overlay interface. The systems and method are also provided for generating a modified event overlay component based on the added plurality of event overlay content, causing the modified event overlay component to be overlaid on top of the ephemeral message, and transmitting the ephemeral message comprising the overlaid modified event overlay component.

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.
