Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface for accessing one or more message threads. At least one ephemeral message to be sent through a first message thread can be determined. The first message thread can be used to exchange messages among a first group of users. The first group of users can be provided with access to the ephemeral message through the first message thread.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing, by a computing system, a messaging interface for accessing one or more message threads;
- determining, by the computing system, at least one ephemeral message to be sent through a first message thread, wherein the first message thread is used to exchange messages among a first group of users;
- providing, by the computing system, the first group of users with access to the ephemeral message through the first message thread, wherein a user that created the ephemeral message is permitted to view the ephemeral message while accessing the first message thread, wherein, after closing the first message thread, the user is no longer permitted to view the ephemeral message when the user subsequently accesses the first message thread;
- and
- determining, by the computing system, a selection of an option associated with the messaging interface to keep the ephemeral message in the first message thread, wherein selection of the option converts the ephemeral message to a non-ephemeral message in the first message thread.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
- providing a messaging interface for accessing one or more message threads;
- determining at least one ephemeral message to be sent through a first message thread, wherein the first message thread is used to exchange messages among a first group of users;
- providing the first group of users with access to the ephemeral message through the first message thread, wherein a user that created the ephemeral message is permitted to view the ephemeral message while accessing the first message thread, wherein, after closing the first message thread, the user is no longer permitted to view the ephemeral message when the user subsequently accesses the first message thread;
- and
- determining a selection of an option associated with the messaging interface to keep the ephemeral message in the first message thread, wherein selection of the option converts the ephemeral message to a non-ephemeral message in the first message thread.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- providing a messaging interface for accessing one or more message threads;
- determining at least one ephemeral message to be sent through a first message thread, wherein the first message thread is used to exchange messages among a first group of users;
- providing the first group of users with access to the ephemeral message through the first message thread, wherein a user that created the ephemeral message is permitted to view the ephemeral message while accessing the first message thread, wherein, after closing the first message thread, the user is no longer permitted to view the ephemeral message when the user subsequently accesses the first message thread;
- and
- determining a selection of an option associated with the messaging interface to keep the ephemeral message in the first message thread, wherein selection of the option converts the ephemeral message to a non-ephemeral message in the first message thread.
