One or more embodiments of the disclosure include a digital multi-group messaging system that manages digital messages across a plurality of social networking groups. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the digital multi-group messaging system detects a digital message and selects a set of social networking groups to suggest to the user. Upon user selection of suggested social networking groups, the digital multi-group messaging system can post the digital message to the selected social networking groups. Moreover, the digital multi-group messaging system can monitor user interaction with the posted digital message in relation to the selected social networking groups and present member interest information to a user, enabling the user to review and manage the digital message across social networking groups.

Managing digital messages across a plurality of social networking groups

In one embodiment, a method includes identifying an application installed on a client device of a first user, and one or more second users of a social-networking system that are connected to the first user within the social-networking system. Data associated with the one or more second users may be determined. The data may indicate: a number of the one or more second users who have installed the identified application, or a number of uses of the identified application by the one or more second users over a pre-determined period of time. The data, which may be configured to be displayed on the client device with an interactive element associated with the application, may be sent to the client device of the first user.

Social context for applications

In one embodiment, a method includes identifying one or more first users of the social-networking system that are connected to a second user within the social-networking system; inferring one or more applications of interest to the second user based at least in part on information associated with one or more applications installed on one or more client systems of the first users; generating one or more recommendations corresponding to one or more of the applications of interest to the second user; ranking the recommendations based on social-graph information of the second user relative to the one or more first users; and sending one or more of the ranked recommendations to one or more client devices of the second user.

In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more applications on one or more first client computing devices of a first user of a social-networking system; determining one or more second users of the social-networking system that are connected to the first user within the social-networking system; determining one or more applications on one or more second client computing devices of the second users; comparing the applications on the first client computing devices with the applications on the second client computing devices; determining one or more application recommendations for the first user based at least in part on the comparison; and sending the application recommendations to the first user.
