Abstract: A computing device is provided, including processing circuitry configured to cause a widget to be displayed on a home screen GUI of an operating system of the computing device. The processing circuitry is further configured to obtain location information of a current location of the computing device, and send a request to download widget content from a widget content API of a widget application server of a social media platform, where the request includes the location information. The processing circuitry is further configured to receive the widget content from the widget application server, the widget content including an image of user generated content available on the social media platform that is linked to that user generated content that can be posted on the social medial platform. The processing circuitry is further configured to display the widget content in the widget on the home screen GUI.

Abstract: Example aspects include techniques for creating video stickers from user-generated content. These techniques may include receiving selection of a video content item previously uploaded to a SMP server application corresponding to the SMP client application, and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving one or more derivative attributes for generating a derivative video sticker from the video content item. In addition, the techniques may include adding the derivative video sticker to a library of stickers provided by the SMP server application to a plurality of SMP client applications, and presenting the derivative video sticker within a communication interface associated with the SMP server application.
