The systems and methods further provide for receiving a first message comprising a photograph as the background for the message in response to a second message in a first gallery of the plurality of galleries, and adding the first message to the first gallery associated with a selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of user-selectable gallery information. The first message is accessible by other computing devices accessing the gallery information to view the first message comprising the photograph as the background of the first message. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, by a server computer, geolocation data from a computing device; determining, by the server computer, that the geolocation data corresponds to a geo-fence associated with a plurality of galleries; providing, by the server computer, user-selectable gallery information comprising indicia for each of the plurality of galleries corresponding to the geo-fence, to the computing device in response to receiving the geolocation data from the computing device; receiving, by the server computer, a first message comprising a photograph as the background for the message in response to a second message in a first gallery of the plurality of galleries; and adding, by the server computer, the first message to the first gallery associated with a selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of user-selectable gallery information; wherein the first message is accessible by other computing devices accessing the gallery information to view the first message comprising the photograph as the background of the first message. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user-selectable gallery information is added to a selectable list of galleries. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein before the first message is added to the gallery associated with the selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of the user-selectable gallery information, the first message is curated to delete inappropriate messages. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a third message from the computing device; and sending the third message to a specified individual. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user-selectable gallery information is provided based on the geolocation associated with the computing device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the computing device is a first computing device and wherein the first message is accessible by a second computing device based on geolocation data of the second computing device corresponding to a geo-fence corresponding to the first gallery. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first message is an ephemeral message. ### Claim 8 A server computer comprising: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the server computer to perform operations comprising: receiving geolocation data from a computing device; determining that the geolocation data corresponds to a geo-fence associated with a plurality of galleries; providing user-selectable gallery information comprising indicia for each of the plurality of galleries corresponding to the geo-fence, to the computing device in response to receiving the geolocation data from the computing device; receiving a first message comprising a photograph as the background for the message in response to a second message in a first gallery of the plurality of galleries; and adding the first message to the first gallery associated with a selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of user-selectable gallery information; wherein the first message is accessible by other computing devices accessing the gallery information to view the first message comprising the photograph as the background of the first message. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The server computer of claim 8, wherein the user-selectable gallery information is added to a selectable list of galleries. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The server computer of claim 8, wherein before the first message is added to the gallery associated with the selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of the user-selectable gallery information, the first message is curated to delete inappropriate messages. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The server computer of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a third message from the computing device; and sending the third message to a specified individual. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The server computer of claim 8, wherein the user-selectable gallery information is provided based on the geolocation associated with the computing device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The server computer of claim 8, wherein the computing device is a first computing device and wherein the first message is accessible by a second computing device based on geolocation data of the second computing device corresponding to a geo-fence corresponding to the first gallery. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The server computer of claim 8, wherein the first message is an ephemeral message. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions for causing a computer to perform operations comprising: receiving geolocation data from a computing device; determining that the geolocation data corresponds to a geo-fence associated with a plurality of galleries; providing user-selectable gallery information comprising indicia for each of the plurality of galleries corresponding to the geo-fence, to the computing device in response to receiving the geolocation data from the computing device; receiving a first message comprising a photograph as the background for the message in response to a second message in a first gallery of the plurality of galleries; and adding the first message to the first gallery associated with a selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of user-selectable gallery information; wherein the first message is accessible by other computing devices accessing the gallery information to view the first message comprising the photograph as the background of the first message. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the user-selectable gallery information is added to a selectable list of galleries. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein before the first message is added to the gallery associated with the selection of the indicia for the first gallery in the plurality of galleries of the of the user-selectable gallery information, the first message is curated to delete inappropriate messages. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a third message from the computing device; and sending the third message to a specified individual. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the user-selectable gallery information is provided based on the geolocation associated with the computing device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the computing device is a first computing device and wherein the first message is accessible by a second computing device based on geolocation data of the second computing device corresponding to a geo-fence corresponding to the first gallery.
