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: Methods, devices, systems, and computer-readable media with instructions for text communications with imbedded audio or audiovisual elements are described. One embodiment involves displaying a user interface for chat communication with a time-ordered display space for communications. Text communications and audiovisual communications are each presented in associated rows within the user interface. Various embodiments enable audio or video notes as well as audio or video streaming or multi-user calls within the user interface with individual communications or connections presented within the time-ordered display. In some embodiments, communications within the display are deleted based on ephemeral message triggers.

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: 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: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to systems for enhancing a first media item through the addition of a supplemental second media item. A user may provide a request to enhance a selected media item, and in response, an enhancement system retrieves and presents a curated collection of supplemental content to be added to the media, to the user. The user may review the curated collection of supplemental content, for example by providing a tactile input to scroll through the curated collection of content.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for suggesting scenarios for an image using one or more machine learning models based on a detected event. The methods and systems detect, by an interaction system associated with a first user, an event associated with a second user and generate a prompt comprising the event and a request for a plurality of scenarios that are relevant to the event. The methods and systems process the prompt by a large language model (LLM) to generate the plurality of scenarios that are relevant to the event and present an individual content item corresponding to an individual scenario of the plurality of scenarios.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for hiding conversation elements. The system accesses a conversation interface of a messaging application on a web browser and presents the conversation interface in a window associated with the web browser. The conversation interface comprises a plurality of conversation elements. The system accesses a focus status of the window and, in response to determining that the focus status indicates that the window has lost focus, obscures a first subset of the plurality of conversation elements.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to off-platform messaging. A selection of a third-party communication mechanism is received from a first device of a first user. A message is generated for communication to a second device of a second user via the third-party communication mechanism. The message identifies a network resource containing information relating to an event. A request to access the network resource is received. An event invitation interface is caused to be presented at the second device. The event invitation interface comprises a user-selectable indicium to cause issuing of a request to download an application associated with a messaging system. The request to download the application comprises a user identifier associated with the second user and an event identifier associated with the event. The user identifier and the event identifier are used to join the second user to a group chat hosted by the messaging system and pertaining to the event.
