Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities that they might not otherwise be aware of (or inclined to use on a regular basis). After a number of recent or unread messages are shown in the inbox's initial interface, the messages end and are replaced with modules. Many different types of functionality may be the subject of the modules (e.g., a module for sharing local content such as photos from a photo album, a People/States module, Top Contacts, New Behavior, Live Videos, Events, Businesses, or Messaging Stickers). Once the available modules have been scrolled through, the interface may revert to more messages, such as less-recent or previously read threads from the original messages. Unread threads may also be collapsed in the top section of the inbox, or included in a module.

Abstract: An online system receives information describing a request from a user to perform an action within a guest application and information identifying a host application for determining whether to allow the user to do so. The information describing the request is communicated to the host application for comparison to a set of permissions. Upon receiving information indicating the information describing the request matches a permission identifying a user allowed to perform an action within the guest application, the online system communicates, to the host application, a message for display to the user including an option allowing the user to perform the action within the guest application. Upon receiving a selection of the option at the host application, the online system receives a token allowing the user to perform the action within the guest application and communicates it to the guest application. The host and guest applications also may communicate directly.

Abstract: An online system presents content to its users, in which the content includes links that launch a messaging application and initiate conversations via the application. The system receives information indicating that negative experiences occurred during the conversations and may use this information and attributes of entities participating in the conversations to train a model to predict a likelihood of an occurrence of a negative experience. Upon determining an opportunity to present a user with a link that launches the application and initiates a potential conversation with an entity via the application, the system applies the model to predict a likelihood of an occurrence of the negative experience by the user during the potential conversation based on the entity's attributes. Based on the predicted likelihood, the system adjusts a value associated with presenting the link and passes the adjusted value to a process that selects content for presentation to the user.
