Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a social graph that includes user nodes and edges connecting the user nodes; identifying, based on the social graph, a set of second users corresponding to second-user nodes that are within a specified social degree of separation from a first-user node corresponding to a first user; determining, based on the social graph, that a particular feature is enabled on computing devices associated with at least a threshold number of the identified set of second users; and enabling the particular feature on a computing device associated with the first user.
