  • Patent number: 11972090
    Abstract: A user interface method is provided by an SDK embedded in a third party resource running on a portable device including a camera and a display. The method includes receiving an API call to display an image processing user interface and in response, displaying a first user interface comprising a list of selectable graphical items corresponding to a group of available image modification features. If user selection of a desired graphical item from the list of selectable graphical items is received, image modification features corresponding to the desired graphical item are applied to an image received from the camera, generating a modified image. A second user interface including the modified image is then displayed on the display.

  • Publication number: 20240073373
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may establish a video call between a first device associated with a first user and a second device associated with a second user of a communications platform. The system may present a video interface for the video call, the video interface comprising a first video stream generated by the first device of the first user and a second video stream generated by the second device associated with the second user. The system may present a first set of image augmentations selected by the communications platform in the video interface, the first set of video augmentations being selectable by the first user for augmentation of the first video stream generated by the first user device. The system may identify a second set of image augmentations used by a further set of users of the communications platform.
