Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and apparatuses for surfacing content items in a messaging system. The methods may include storing content items generated by a client device of a user. The method may further include determining a time period and content items corresponding to the time period to resurface to the user, the time period selected based on comparing the social interaction data, the viewing data, and the modification data associated with the content items corresponding to the time period with the social interaction data, the viewing data, and the modification data associated with content items generated during other time periods. The method may further include generating a title page for the time period to resurface to the user, the title page comprising a title and an indication of a date for the time period.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing permissions for accessing shared content collections. The program and method provide for receiving, from a first device associated with a first user, an indication of first user input to share a content collection between the first user and a second user selected by the first user, the content collection comprising at least one media content item, the second user corresponding to a contact of the first user within a messaging application; storing the content collection in association with the first user and the second user; providing the first user with a first set of permissions for accessing the content collection; and providing the second user with a second set of permissions for accessing the content collection, the second set of permissions being more restrictive than the first set of permissions.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and apparatuses for surfacing content items in a messaging system. The methods may include storing a content item generated by a client device of a user, the user associated with the messaging system and determining a score to assign to the interaction and updating a resurface score associated with the content item with the score. The methods may further include determining whether to resurface the content item to the user based on the resurface score and causing to be displayed on a display of the client device a user interface comprising a user interface item for the user to display the content item. The methods may further include updating weights used to determine the scores based on interactions of the user with the resurfaced content items.

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: A method, to manage an event invitation in a computer network environment, comprises presenting, using one or more processors, an event invitation creation indicium to a first user on a user interface of a computing device. Responsive to user selection of the event invitation creation indicium, an event creation interface is presented to receive event details. Responsive to receipt of the event details, an event invitation message is generated for communication, via a messaging system, by the first user to a second user of the messaging system, the event invitation message including a join indicium that is user-selectable to join a group chat related to the event. Responsive to a message send input from the first user, the event invitation message is sent, via the messaging system, from the first user to the second user. A request is received, from the second user, a request to join the group chat related to the event. A group chat message thread, associated with an event group including at least the first user and the second user, is then stored within the messaging system.
