    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: Method of generating a contextual application menu starts with processor causing client device's display screen to display a first and a second portion of the display screen in an inactivated position. Processor causes the first portion to display application interface associated with an application, and cause the second portion to display action bar that is associated with messaging system. Processor receives a selection from a user of the client device of a settings selectable item in the action bar and in response, processor generates a settings menu based a context of the client device. Processor then causes the first portion and the second portion of the display screen to be displayed in an activated position. Processor can cause the first portion of the display screen to contract, and cause the second portion of the display screen to expand and to comprise the settings menu. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.
