    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing multiple versions of an application in a social network are described. In some aspects, a first version of the application provides a first set of features while a second version of the application provides the first set of features and also a second set of features. Both the first version of the application and the second version of the application access the same application state data, which may be maintained by a back-end system, such as a social network. When the state data is updated by one or the other versions of the application, a notification may be provided to the other version of the application informing it of the update. The application state data may represent, for example, a shared gaming environment accessed by both the first and second versions of the application.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for aggregating media content in an electronic messaging application starts with server system receiving from first client device a first media content item and a selection of client devices including second client device. Server system generates a group including first client device and client devices in the selection. Server system causes a group selectable item including a new item indication to be displayed by client devices included in the group. In response to receiving a first signal that indicates that a first portion of the group selectable item has been selected, server system causes the first media content item to be displayed by second client device. Once the first media content item is displayed for a period of time, server system removes the new item indication from the group selectable item and causes the group selectable item to be displayed by second client device.
