Techniques are described that enable a user to edit and customize captions generated by a social networking system, such as transcriptions of an audio clip. In some cases, a social networking system receives, from a first user account, a video and an audio clip associated with the video, and determines that the audio clip contains speech. The social networking system may leverage a speech-to-text component to generate a first text caption based at least in part on the speech in the audio clip. The social networking system provides the first text caption to the first user account, and receives a user input to modify a word included in the first text caption. The social networking system generates a second text caption based at least in part on the user input, and provides the video, including the second text caption, to a second user account.

Caption customization and editing

Display screen with a graphical user interface

Systems and techniques are described that enable users to capture and share content through a social network application and/or service with other users. A device associated with a first account may display a camera capture interface including a control associated with a second account and may receive a selection of the control associated with the second account. The device may capture content responsive to the selection and present a preview screen of captured content. The device may receive an indication (e.g., a swipe gesture, selection of a send control, etc.) to perform an action with respect to the captured content, such as sending the captured content to the second account.

Social network interactions

Systems and techniques are described that enable users to interact and share content through a social network application and/or service with other users. In some examples, a social networking system determines that at least two applications are installed on a device and are both useable to share content between a first account and one or more contact accounts. The social networking system may detect an event that causes a change in a badge count, may determine which of the applications to use to display the change, and may output the badge count change to the determined application(s).

Social network synchronization

Systems and techniques are described that enable users to interact and share content through a social network application and/or service with other users. A social networking system may determine that a first application and a second application are installed on a device and are both useable to share content between a first account and one or more contact accounts. The social networking system may receive content associated with the first application and the second application and may generate a notification associated with the content. The social networking system may determine which of the first application or the second application to use to present the notification, and may output the notification to the determined first application and/or the second application.

Social network status

Systems and techniques are described that enable users to interact and share content through a social network application and/or service with other users. A social networking system may receive status information (e.g., a heartbeat) associated with a first account, where the status information includes first location information and/or first activity information associated with the first account, and may determine a status signal based at least in part on a context associated with the first account and the status information. The social networking system may determine a status associated with the first account, where the status includes second location information and/or second activity information associated with the user device which is less specific than the first location information and first activity information. The social network system may send the status to a second account.

In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a first application installed on the client system, that a second application is installed on the client system, wherein the first application is configured to switch contexts to the second application; receiving, by the client system, a context-switching gesture input within a first context of the first application, detecting, by the client system, the context-switching gesture has passed a first threshold within the first context, presenting, by the client system, a preview associated with the second application on a portion of a display of the client system in response to the context-switching gesture passing the first threshold within the first context, detecting, by the client system, the context-switching gesture has passed a second threshold within the first context, and switching contexts to a second context of the second application in response to passing the second threshold.

Gesture-based context switching between applications

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine at least one media content item being posted through a social networking system, wherein the media content item is able to be shared through one or more non-ephemeral content feeds, an ephemeral story feed, or with a favorites list of users; determine that the media content item is being shared with the favorites list of users; determine users included in the favorites list; and distribute the media content item to users included in the favorites list.

Systems and methods for content distribution

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a messaging interface for distributing visual messages through a social networking system. At least one visual message that was created using the messaging interface can be determined. The visual message can include at least some text inputted by a user that authored the visual message. The at least one visual message can be provided for distribution through the social networking system.
