Shortcut to sharing collections of content items

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory component having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations further comprising:
• receiving, by a device associated with a first user, a request to share a first content item with one or more recipients;
• in response to receiving the request, presenting a plurality of shortcuts, each of the plurality of shortcuts associated with different groups of recipients, the plurality of shortcuts being automatically generated based on a location or time of day;
• receiving input that selects a first shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts, the first shortcut being associated with a first group of recipients;
• in response to receiving the input, presenting an option to add the first content item to a collection of content items and share the collection of content items with the first group of recipients;
• adding a representation of the collection of content items to a profile page associated with the first user, the representation including an icon or graphical element that has a visual property that mirrors a visual property of the icon or graphical element of the first shortcut used to generate and share the collection of content items;
• determining a collection type for each representation of collections of content items on the profile page;
• determining whether each representation corresponds to a private collection of content items or a public collection of content items based on the collection type;
• in response to determining that a representation corresponds to a private collection of content items, rendering the representation with the icon or graphical element of a corresponding shortcut used to generate the private collection embedded within the representation;
• and
• in response to determining that a representation corresponds to a public collection of content items, rendering the representation without any shortcut-associated graphical elements.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by a device associated with a first user, a request to share a first content item with one or more recipients;
• in response to receiving the request, presenting a plurality of shortcuts, each of the plurality of shortcuts associated with different groups of recipients, the plurality of shortcuts being automatically generated based on a location or time of day;
• receiving input that selects a first shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts, the first shortcut being associated with a first group of recipients;
• in response to receiving the input, presenting an option to add the first content item to a collection of content items and share the collection of content items with the first group of recipients;
• adding a representation of the collection of content items to a profile page associated with the first user, the representation including an icon or graphical element that has a visual property that mirrors a visual property of the icon or graphical element of the first shortcut used to generate and share the collection of content items;
• determining a collection type for each representation of collections of content items on the profile page;
• determining whether each representation corresponds to a private collection of content items or a public collection of content items based on the collection type;
• in response to determining that a representation corresponds to a private collection of content items, rendering the representation with the icon or graphical element of a corresponding shortcut used to generate the private collection embedded within the representation;
• and
• in response to determining that a representation corresponds to a public collection of content items, rendering the representation without any shortcut-associated graphical elements.
