Techniques to allow for ease of navigation within a photo browsing interface of a social networking system. In one embodiment, a designation of a first image for sharing is received from within at least one of a single-image view and a camera view. Based on the designation, the first image is added to a communication. The designation may be based on a user selection of an option provided by an interface of a mobile device. The first image may be received from within a social networking application or from within a dedicated camera application. In another embodiment, the privacy level of the communication and the designated images is based on the privacy setting of a user. The communication and the designated images may contain tag data identifying one or more people on a social networking system. In an alternative embodiment, the privacy level of the communication and designated images is adjusted according to the one or more people identified in the tag data.

Systems and methods for multiple photo feed stories

In one embodiment, a method includes, by a server computing device, providing first instructions to a client device to display a user interface including a first icon associated with a third-party system and a share shutter button, a selectable button to capture and designate one or more media items for sharing. The method includes receiving one or more selections of the share shutter button. The method includes providing second instructions to the client device to display, for each selection of the share shutter button, an animation indicating that the media item has been captured and designated. The second instructions include instructions to display a copy of the media item centered in the user interface and instructions to dimensionally reduce the copy of the media item while moving the copy toward a location of the first icon associated with the third-party system until the copy disappears from the user interface.

Systems and methods for displaying an animation to confirm designation of an image for sharing

In one embodiment, a method includes sending, from a client system of a first user to a server of an online social network, an image portraying at least a first person and determining, for each user in a first set of users, a facial-recognition score with respect to the first person portrayed in the image. The facial-recognition score is based at least in part on a facial-representation associated with the user being compared with the image. The method further includes presenting, at the client system, one or more tag suggestions for the first person portrayed in the image based on the facial-recognition scores and a social-graph affinity associated with one or more users of the first set of users and receiving a selection of a particular tag suggestion by the first user. Each tag suggestion corresponds to a particular user of the first set of users.

Tag suggestions for images on online social networks

Techniques to allow for ease of use of a photo browsing interface of a social networking system. In an embodiment, a designation of a first image for sharing is received from within a view. A first animation indicating that the first image has been designated for sharing is displayed. The displaying may comprise miniaturizing a copy of the first image. The miniaturizing may proceed from a first location within the view to a second location within the view. The first location may be associated with at least one of a center of the view and an option to designate the first image for sharing. The second location may be associated with a message compose option.

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an image portraying at least a first person, accessing a social graph, determining a social-graph affinity for a first set of users, determining a facial-recognition scores for the first set of users based on the social-graph affinity for each user and a facial-representation associated with each user, where the facial-representation for each user is compared with the image, and generating one or more tag suggestions for the first person portrayed in the image based on the facial-recognition scores.
