A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining a display order for multiple icons, each icon representing a different contact of a user with respect to a messaging application, each contact having a respective content collection available for display;
• receiving, from a device, an indication to prioritize display of a user-selected icon of the multiple icons relative to other icons of the multiple icons;
• updating, in response to receiving the indication, the display order to prioritize display of the user-selected icon relative to the other icons;
• providing, to the device, an indication of the updated display order to cause the multiple icons to be displayed according to the updated display order,
• wherein the multiple icons correspond to a stories feed interface for browsing available content collections with respect to the messaging application;
• and
• causing a representation of the user-selected icon to be presented on a message preview interface, the representation being user-selectable to send a message to the contact represented by the user-selected icon.
