Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to managing and sharing contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives an input, and in response, displays a suggested collection of media items for sharing with a recipient, wherein the collection is relevant to a message conversation with the recipient. Subsequent to displaying the suggested collection, the device transmits a message to the recipient as part of the message conversation that provides access to the at least a portion of the suggested collection of media items. In some embodiments, a device receives an indication, from an external device, that a first user has shared a first collection of media items with a second user. Subsequent to receiving the indication that the first user has shared the first collection of media items with the second user, the device outputs a prompt to share, with the first user, one or more suggested media items.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device, comprising:
a display; one or more input devices; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to share a collection of media items;
in response to receiving the request to share the collection of media items, displaying, on the display, a recipient confirmation user interface including a set of one or more suggested recipients, wherein the set of one or more suggested recipients is identified based on one or more faces detected in the collection of media items;
after displaying the recipient confirmation user interface, receiving a request to share the collection of media items;
in response to receiving the request to share the collection of media items, initiating a process for sharing the collection of media items with a set of one or more selected recipients that includes at least one of the one or more suggested recipients; and
detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second set of one or more inputs to add a third recipient to the set of one or more suggested recipients, wherein the third recipient is not included in the set of one or more suggested recipients.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the recipient confirmation user interface includes an affordance for adding a first recipient to the set of one or more selected recipients, wherein the first recipient is not included in the set of one or more suggested recipients.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first set of one or more inputs to remove a second recipient from the set of one or more selected recipients.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting selection of a recipient indicator associated with a suggested recipient of the set of one or more suggested recipients; and associating the suggested recipient with contact information.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
subsequent to sharing the collection of media items with the set of one or more selected recipients, displaying, on the display, a preview of the collection of media items in a messaging application.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
subsequent to sharing the collection of media items with the set of one or more selected recipients, displaying, on the display, a status of the collection of media items in a messaging application.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
prior to sharing the collection of media items with the set of one or more selected recipients, displaying, on the display, a preview of the collection of media items.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the preview of the collection of media items, detecting a third set of one or more inputs to modify the collection of media items.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein selection of the set of one or more suggested recipients is further based on a date criterion.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein selection of the set of one or more suggested recipients is further based on a location criterion.

11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein selection of the set of one or more suggested recipients is further based on a requirement that each media item includes at least one of the one or more faces.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein selection of the set of one or more suggested recipients is further based on a requirement that each media item corresponds to an event at which a respective person was present.

13 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
displaying the recipient confirmation user interface includes concurrently displaying:
the set of one or more suggested recipients; and
an add recipient affordance for adding the third recipient to the set of one or more suggested recipients.

14 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the second set of one or more inputs, adding the third recipient to the set of one or more suggested recipients.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to share a collection of media items; in response to receiving the request to share the collection of media items, displaying, on the display, a recipient confirmation user interface including a set of one or more suggested recipients, wherein the set of one or more suggested recipients is identified based on one or more faces detected in the collection of media items; after displaying the recipient confirmation user interface, receiving a request to share the collection of media items; in response to receiving the request to share the collection of media items, initiating a process for sharing the collection of media items with a set of one or more selected recipients that includes at least one of the one or more suggested recipients; and detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second set of one or more inputs to add a third recipient to the set of one or more suggested recipients, wherein the third recipient is not included in the set of one or more suggested recipients.

16 . A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to share a collection of media items;
in response to receiving the request to share the collection of media items, displaying, on the display, a recipient confirmation user interface including a set of one or more suggested recipients, wherein the set of one or more suggested recipients is identified based on one or more faces detected in the collection of media items;
after displaying the recipient confirmation user interface, receiving a request to share the collection of media items;
in response to receiving the request to share the collection of media items, initiating a process for sharing the collection of media items with a set of one or more selected recipients that includes at least one of the one or more suggested recipients; and
detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second set of one or more inputs to add a third recipient to the set of one or more suggested recipients, wherein the third recipient is not included in the set of one or more suggested recipients.
