Abstract

One or more embodiments facilitate a user experience in which a user can conveniently switch between different applications on a mobile device for capturing and interacting with digital content. For example, a content navigation system can identify an application installed on a mobile device having content capturing functionality. In addition, the content navigation system can detect that a graphical user interface associated with the identified content capturing application is displayed via a touch screen on the mobile device. Further, based on detecting that the graphical user interface associated with the content capturing application is displayed, the content navigation system can overlay a graphical element associated with a content management application over the graphical user interface. The graphical element can facilitate convenient switching between different applications on the mobile device.
