    Abstract: Images are displayed in an album mode in which an image occupying a focus position is separated by bars from adjacent images in the album. The bars serve as a visual separator between the images and signify to a user that the images can be vertically scrolled. If the focus image occupies less than the full height of the screen, then part of the adjacent images are shown above and below the focus image. If the focus image occupies the full height of the screen, then the image is reduced in size to occupy less than the full height, causing the adjacent images to also be displayed. If the user scrolls the image, the image reduction decreases linearly with the scrolling until the image is shown at full height. Continued scrolling causes the image to move off the screen and the previous or next image to be displayed.

    Abstract: A messaging server receives a sharing message from a sharer client indicating that the sharer client is offering to provide live location information. When the messaging server receives a subscription request from a receiver client indicating a request to receive live location information shared by the sharer client, the messaging server sends a location request to the sharer client. The location request requests live location information from the sharer client. The sharer client determines its location using a location module and sends live location information to the messaging server in response to the request. The server sends the live location information received from the sharer client to the receiver client. When no receiver clients send subscription requests, the sharer client does not send live location information, thereby preserving power by limiting use of the location module.
