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: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for filtering conversations. The system generates for display, by a messaging application, a plurality of shortcut options, each of the plurality of shortcut options comprising a respective filtering criterion. In response to receiving input that selects a given shortcut option of the plurality of shortcut options, the system retrieves the filtering criterion associated with the given shortcut option. The system searches a plurality of conversations to identify a subset of conversations that match the filtering criterion. The system generates for display together with the plurality of shortcut options, a plurality of representations of the identified subset of conversations in which one or more messages have been exchanged between a user and one or more friends of the user.

Abstract: An interaction system that provides users in mutual affinity relationships to send messages. Interaction applications of two or more users receives notifications of a mutual affinity relationship between the first user and the second user. The interaction applications configure respective mutual affinity widgets by associating the mutual affinity widget with the respective other user. Icons of the mutual affinity widgets are provided on respective home screens of the users. Upon detecting a selection of the mutual affinity widget by a first user, a message creation interface is provided to the first user and a message is generated based on an image captured by the first user using the message creation user interface. The message is then sent to a second user. The second user uses their own mutual affinity widget to access the message.

Abstract: In some examples, a method includes maintaining first electronic contact data for a plurality of users of an interaction system, and relationship data relating to relationships between the plurality of users. The method also includes, using the first electronic contact data and the relationship data, automatically generating composite electronic contact data. The composite electronic contact data includes a first electronic contact record for a first user with which a specific user has a relationship as reflected in the relationship data, and a second electronic contact record for a second user with which the specific user has no relationship as reflected in the relationship data. The composite electronic contact data is presented within the interaction system in a manner that visually distinguishes between the first electronic contact record and the second electronic contact record. The specific user is enabled to initiate an electronic interaction with the second user.
