Some embodiments of a method for withdrawal a message include receiving, by a mobile device, an input to send a first message to a first recipient, the first message containing at least one image or video. The mobile device processes the first message for transmittal to the first recipient. In response to detecting a request to withdraw the first message within a timeout period, the mobile device determines that the first message has not been sent from the mobile device and terminates the processing of the first message for sending.

Withdrawal of a message sent in a social networking system

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can transmit at least a media content item to a recipient device. A response can be received from the recipient device. At least the media content item can be obscured to produce an obscured media content item. The response and the obscured media content item can be presented. The response can overlay the obscured media content item.

Systems and methods for providing communications with obscured media content backgrounds

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for downloading graphics assets of a software application in a form in which they are rendered as needed on a computing device based on its characteristics and then stored therein for later use. A computer-implemented method includes determining whether a requested graphics asset is stored in a storage of a computing device, retrieving the graphics asset from the storage when the graphics asset is stored in the storage, rendering the graphics asset when the graphics asset is not stored in the storage, and visually presenting the graphics asset on a display of the computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for rendering and caching graphics assets

A social networking system user identifies one or more social networking system users authorized to present content items to the user via the social networking system ('authorized users'). When an additional user requests presentation of a content item to the user, the social networking system determines if the additional user is an authorized user. If the additional user is an authorized user, the content item is presented to the user. However, if the additional user is not an authorized user, the social networking system identifies the additional user to the user along with a request to identify the additional user as an authorized user. If the user identifies the additional user as an authorized user in response to the request, the content item is presented to the user.
