Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing a content-based incentive program. The program and method provide for receiving, from a device, a request for submitting a media content item to a content feed associated with an incentive program providing for user payout based on meeting content criteria; determining that the media content item meets the content criteria; adding the media content item to a set of media content items which meet the content criteria and which are available via the content feed; providing access to the media content item in association with the content feed; selecting, based on the providing and at least in part on viewer engagement, the media content item from among the set of media content items for the user payout; and providing, based on the selecting, the user payout to the user.

Content-based incentive program within messaging system

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a messaging application, a first content item generated by a first client device using a third-party resource; generating the first content item for display on a second client device together with an indication of the third-party resource used to generate the first content item; receiving, from the second client device, selection of the indication of the third-party resource; generating, for display on the second client device, a first user interface that includes a plurality of content items associated with the third-party resource and a first option to access the third-party resource, the plurality of content items including the first content item; and enabling the second client device to use the third-party resource in response to receiving selection of the first option to access the third-party resource.

Presenting content received from third-party resources

Display screen or portion thereof with a transitional graphical user interface

Systems and methods herein save ephemeral media content to a conversation thread between two users who are bidirectional connections on a social media platform. The systems and methods receive, on a first device associated with a first user, media content item from a second device associated with a second user, display the received media content item on the first user device, and while causing display of the received media content item, receive a selection from the first user device. In response to receiving the selection, the systems and methods save the media content item to a conversation thread between the first user and the second user and display an indication that the media content item is saved within the conversation thread.
