Abstract: In some implementations, a first computing device can send notifications at times that the first computing device is not in an expected location. A user of a second computing device can remotely configure an expected location for the first computing device, which may be a particular location for a certain period of time. During that time, the first computing device can monitor its own location and check whether it is within the expected location. If the first computing device unexpectedly leaves or fails to enter the expected location, the first computing device may transmit a notification to the second computing device. Similarly, if the first computing device loses connectivity with other devices, a server device may notify the second computing device that the location of the first computing device cannot be determined.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for location-tracking wireless devices. In an embodiment, a method performed by an electronic device comprises: playing, or initiating the playing of, a sound through a loudspeaker of an accessory device via a communication link. The sound is played at a specified frequency that utilizes a frequency response of the loudspeaker (or loudspeaker plus speaker enclosure). The sound is received through two or more microphones of the electronic device and filtered by one or more filters. The one or more filters are configured to pass the sound at or around the specified frequency and to reduce masking of the sound by ambient noise. The filtered sound is associated with direction data generated from sensor data provided by one or more inertial sensors of the electronic device. In another embodiment, the specified frequency is higher than the maximum human hearing range.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to the authentication of a first user in a communication session between the first user using a user device and a second user using a remote computer system. The computer system sends an authentication request in the session, and the user device receives the authentication request in the session via a messaging program. The user device then causes a different program to access an authentication token received from an authentication computer system. The user device sends an indication of the authentication token to the remote computer system which the remote computer system verifies to authenticate the first user within the session.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to messaging user interfaces. The method includes displaying a messaging session between a user of the device and a respective participant in the message session other than the user of the device in a messaging user interface, wherein the respective participant is associated with a user account of the user. While the messaging session is active, the method also includes displaying, on the display, a first credential verification affordance in the messaging user interface. The method further includes detecting one or more user inputs to authenticate with the user account. After detecting the one or more user inputs to authenticate with the user account, in accordance with a determination that the authentication with the user account was successful, the method further includes providing an indication that the user was successfully authenticated with the user account to the respective participant via the messaging user interface.

Abstract: A messaging system, in one embodiment, can establish messaging accounts for a plurality of organizations (e.g., businesses) to allow customers or users of the organizations to conduct two-way messaging sessions between a customer and an organization. The messaging system can use a registration portal to allow an organization to set up a business/organization messaging account by providing account information. The account information can then be used to update one or more searchable databases that allow a customer to have multiple entry points into a messaging session with each of the registered businesses in the messaging system. For example, a search through a web browser or a map application can provide search results that contain or otherwise provide access to a selectable messaging option that is presented on a customer's device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for managing location sharing requests. In various implementations, a requesting device or a server computer in communication with the requesting device, receives a location sharing request associated with a user and, in response, sends a notification to a companion device associated with the user. A location of the companion device is received from the companion device together with a list of one or more devices associated with the user that are paired with the companion device and a connection status for at least one of the one or more paired devices. The connection status indicates if there is a direct communication link established between the paired device and the companion device. A notification is sent to each disconnected paired device based on the connection status. Each disconnected device that is worn or carried by the user responds with their location.
