Abstract: Systems and methods for creating digital interactive metadata elements in a social media composition may include (1) providing, to a user of a social media application, a composition interface for creating digital social media compositions, (2) collecting, via the composition interface, user-generated content and metadata information, (3) creating, based on the user-generated content and the metadata information, a social media composition that includes the user-generated content and an interactive metadata item, and (4) posting the social media composition to a consumption channel (e.g., a newsfeed channel and/or a stories channel) of a social-networking platform associated with the social media application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a digital story reply container may include (1) displaying a shared story within a story consumption channel of a social media application running on a viewer's computing device, (2) receiving user input selecting a selectable reply element associated with the shared story, (3) digitally adding the viewer to a private chat room associated with the shared story, and (4) displaying a chat room interface corresponding to the private chat room via a display element of the viewer's computing device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for social media music streaming may include (1) providing a music service within a social media platform, (2) presenting, via the music service, a music consumption interface that displays a collection of personal music stations, each of which is dedicated to music content associated with a different user of the social media platform, (3) receiving user input selecting one of the personal music stations, and (4) in response to receiving the user input, playing music content from the selected personal music station. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting data from digital messages for digital group compositions may include (1) determining that a user of a computing device is electronically participating in a group chat with one or more additional users, (2) providing the user with a digital prompt suggesting that the user add the additional users as contributors to a group social media composition, (3) receiving, via the computing device, user input accepting the suggestion, and (4) adding the additional users as contributors to the group social media composition. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and maintaining digital story progress bars may include (1) providing an interface that displays posts within a series of different digital stories, (2) displaying, within the interface, a progress bar including (i) a current-story section associated with a story-indicator corresponding to a current story whose posts are currently being displayed, and (ii) an upcoming-story section associated with a subsequent story-indicator corresponding to an upcoming story queued for display after the current story, (3) transitioning from displaying the posts of the current story to displaying the posts of the upcoming story, and (4) in response to displaying the posts of the upcoming story (i) altering the current-story section by replacing the story-indicator with the subsequent story-indicator and (ii) altering the upcoming-story section by replacing the subsequent story-indicator with a post-subsequent story-indicator corresponding to an additional upcoming story.
