  • Publication number: 20220029947
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine that at least one image has been captured using the computing device, wherein one or more individuals are represented in the image. An identity of at least a first individual of the one or more individuals represented in the image is determined, wherein the identity of the first individual is determined, at least in part, using a social networking system. A notification is presented through a display of the computing device, wherein the notification provides an option to send a message including the captured image to the first individual.

  • Patent number: 11153246
    Abstract: Techniques for ephemeral messaging with remote ephemeral mode configuration are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a messaging component operative to receive a messaging update at a messaging client on the client device from a messaging system; determine a message thread associated with the messaging update; and determine that the messaging update indicates a transition to an ephemeral mode for the message thread; and a user interface component operative to configure a user interface for the message thread to an ephemeral mode interface based on the transition to the ephemeral mode for the message thread. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 10460400
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine one or more social networking system anniversary events associated with a first user, the anniversary event having a month and a day that is identical to the current month and day. The one or more anniversary events are filtered using filtering criteria. An indication, such as a notification or a promotion, relating to the one or more anniversary events is generated based on satisfaction of the filtering criteria.
