Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatic arrangement of communications for improved functionality. A client device presents a stacked set of conversation cells on a display of the client device. The stacked set of conversation cells is stacked such that a first conversation cell corresponding to a first chat conversation from the stacked set of conversation cells is a top conversation cell of the stacked set of conversation cells. While presenting the stacked set of conversation cells, the client device receives a first chat communication that is a part of a second chat conversation that is different than the first chat conversation. In response to the receiving of the first chat communication, the client device modifies the presentation of the stacked set of conversation cells such that a second conversation cell corresponding to the second chat conversation is presented as the top conversation cell of the stacked set of conversation cells.

Abstract: Embodiments for communicating and displaying collections of image and video clip content with an opt-out interstitial are described. In one example embodiment, a device receives interface information about a group of content collections from a server computer system. When a user inputs a selection of a first content collection, the device displays images and video clips in a sequence defined by the content collection. Each piece of content is displayed for less than a threshold display time. When the device finishes playing the first content collection, the device presents an opt-out interstitial. Additional content collections generated from content submitted by other client devices can be received from the server computer system, and are presented based on a response input, or a lack of response input, to the opt-out interstitial. Some embodiments include content collections generated by the server computer system, as well as advertising elements presented between content collections.
