A computing device provides methods and workflow for setting up a shared family account on a content storage system, including the creation of accounts for child family members. A computing device supports the creation of a family account using an account on the content storage system associated with an adult family member acting as a family organizer. The family organizer can designate a specific account as a purchase account for allowing other family member to purchase content from content servers associated with the content storage system. The family organizer can invite other adult family members to join the shared family account. The family organizer can create new accounts on the content storage system for child family members, and can designate access and purchase restrictions for such child family members. Family members have access to shared storage content, as well as services such as family calendar, group messaging, and device location.

Family accounts for an online content storage sharing service

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface that includes a first option for exchanging ephemeral messages with users of a social networking system and a second option for exchanging non-ephemeral messages with users of the social networking system; determine that a user operating the computing device has selected the first option for sending an ephemeral message; and cause the ephemeral message to be sent through the social networking system.

Systems and methods for sharing content

A first electronic device is configured to operate in a restricted mode of operation, which restricted mode may be terminated or continued by one or more remotely located authorization devices, according to predetermined criteria. In a restricted mode, a first set of permitted applications stored on the first electronic device are executable, and a first set of data is accessible. While operating in the restricted mode, the first device detects a termination condition of the restricted mode and transmits an indication of the termination condition to one or more authorization devices. After transmitting the request, the first electronic devices receives an indication that the restricted mode of the operation has been continued according to predetermined criteria. Responsive to receiving the indication, the first electronic device continues to operate in the restricted mode according to the predetermined criteria.

Setting and terminating restricted mode operation on electronic devices

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a first ephemeral message to be shared through a first unified message thread corresponding to a group of recipients, the first ephemeral message being created by a user operating the computing device. The first ephemeral message can be provided to a social networking system for distribution to the group of recipients through the first unified message thread, wherein both ephemeral messages and non-ephemeral messages are exchanged between the group of recipients through the same first unified message thread.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface, the messaging interface including one or more options for accessing at least one unified message thread, wherein both ephemeral messages and non-ephemeral messages are exchanged between a group of users through the unified message thread. A determination can be made that a user operating the computing device has created a message to be sent through the unified message thread. The message can be provided for distribution to the group of users through the unified message thread.

In some implementations, a navigation application can integrate third party services into the navigation application in an easy to use and convenient manner. For example, the navigation application can receive user input indicating that the user is interested obtaining transportation from a ride hailing service. In response to receiving the indication, the navigation application can invoke an application extension for a third party ride hailing application. The navigation application and ride hailing application can then communicate to provide the ride hailing service through the navigation application.

In some implementations, a navigation application can integrate third party services into the navigation application in an easy to use and convenient manner. For example, the navigation application can receive user input indicating that the user is interested reserving a table from a table reservation service. In response to receiving the indication, the navigation application can invoke an application extension for a third party table reservation application. The navigation application and table reservation application can then communicate to provide the table reservation service through the navigation application.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface, the messaging interface including a first region and a second region, the first region being segmented from the second region; provide access to one or more ephemeral message threads in the first region, the ephemeral message threads being ranked according to one or more criteria; and provide access to one or more non-ephemeral message threads in the second region, the non-ephemeral message threads being ranked according to one or more criteria.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a multi-part identifier captured using one or more cameras associated with the computing device, the multi-part identifier including at least a first portion that references a site, a second portion that references an entity, and information describing one or more actions. A digital destination associated with the multi-part identifier can be determined based at least in part on the first portion and the second portion of the multi-part identifier. One or more actions to be performed in relation to the digital destination can be determined based at least in part on the information included with the multi-part identifier.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface, the messaging interface including one or more options for accessing at least one unified message thread, wherein both ephemeral messages and non-ephemeral messages are exchanged between a group of users through the unified message thread. A determination can be made that a user operating the computing device has accessed the unified message thread. Content relating to the unified message thread can be provided for display through the computing device.

To perform a restricted action, such as access a restricted content item, a subordinate user account can transmit a permission request to an authorizing user account. The permission request can request authorization from the authorizing user account to perform the restricted action. The permission request can be transmitted to one or more client devices of the authorizing user account, and enable to the authorizing user account to remotely select to approve or deny the permission request, thereby either granting or denying the subordinate user account from performing the restricted action. In addition to approving or denying a permission request, an authorizing user account can also be enabled to ignore a permission request, thereby allowing the authorizing user account to respond to the permission request at a later time. Further, in some embodiments, an authorizing user account can select to deny all further permission requests to perform the restricted action.
