Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing a message thread module with instructions executed by the processor to maintain a message thread between users of client devices. The message thread module serves a message thread with a new text entry to a client device in response to a request for the message thread from a user. Message thread state change is collected from the client device, where the message thread state change represents an indication to automatically delete the new text entry of the message thread after the duration of a transitory display period on the client device unless an indication of a gesture applied to a display screen presenting the new text entry of the message thread is received from the client device during the transitory display period. The message thread state change is queued at the server along with additional message thread state changes associated with the collecting operation performed for additional users associated with the message thread. The message thread is revised based upon the message thread state change and the additional message thread state changes to form shared message thread state. The shared message thread state is stored. The shared message thread state is supplied in response to a request for the message thread from a user.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging and imaging software and systems by determining the current activities of users based on location sensor information from the users' computing devices and generating customized media content items based on their activities. The media content can be generated for a variety of topics and shared with other users. For example, media content (e.g., images or video) can be generated and displayed on a user's computing device, as well as transmitted to other users via electronic communications, such as short message service (SMS) or multimedia service (MMS) texts and emails.

Abstract: A server includes a processor and a memory storing a multiple channel message thread module with instructions executed by the processor to identify when participants at client devices are viewing a common message thread. An alternate channel communication prompt is supplied to the client devices. An alternate channel communication is delivered to the client devices in response to activation of the alternate channel communication prompt by at least one participant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated local story generation and curation are described. In one example embodiment, a server computer receives content from client devices, and processes the content to identify content characteristics. Stories are then generated based on the characteristics of the received content, and the stories are communicated to client devices. In certain embodiments, selection at a client device of an individual piece of content within a story may further be used by the system to provide the client device with a sub-story that includes pieces of content sharing content characteristics with the characteristics of the selected image or video.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for suggesting modifications for an image using one or more machine learning models. The methods and systems select, by an interaction application, an individual content item from a plurality of previously captured content items that matches one or more criteria corresponding to sharable content and generate a prompt comprising the individual content item and a request for a plurality of suggested modifications to the individual content item. The methods and systems process the prompt by a large language model (LLM) to generate the plurality of suggested modifications to the individual content item and generate a modified individual content item corresponding to an individual suggested modification of the plurality of suggested modifications.

Abstract: A server system for a map-based social media platform maintains user location information to enable the rendering of friend icons on a map at a corresponding display locations. The system maintains a per user access control list (ACL) that lists all users whose icons can be viewed by a requesting user. The ACL can include a designation of respective display granularity levels for different friend users.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for customizing a capture button used during video recording. The program and method provide for determining that a user of an application has access to exclusive features within the application, customizing a capture button for replacing display of a shutter button during video recording; displaying a first user interface for user selection of the capture button from among plural available capture buttons; receiving user input provided selecting the capture button from among the plural available capture buttons; displaying a second user interface for presenting real-time image data captured by a camera, the second user interface including the shutter button which is user-selectable to initiate video recording in response to second user input; and replacing, upon detecting the second user input, display of the shutter button with the selected capture button.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing an indication of video recording. The program and method provide for displaying a user interface within an application running on a device, the user interface presenting real-time image data captured by a camera of the device, the user interface including a shutter button which is selectable to initiate video recording in response to a first user gesture; and upon detecting the first user gesture selecting the shutter button, initiating video recording with respect to the real-time image data, replacing a first set of interface elements within the user interface with a second set of interface elements within the user interface, and updating an appearance of the shutter button.
