A device displays a user interface of the social network platform, including status updates of users, a photo uploading region, and an input region for entering status updates of a user. The device presents recommended photos for upload in the photo uploading region. The recommended photos are selected by dividing photos in the photo library into one or more groups based on photographing location and photographing time, where, if a photographing location of a photo is not a regular location associated with a user of the device, the photo is grouped based on a common photographing location, and if the photographing location of the photo is a regular location associated with the user of the device, the photo is grouped based on a common photographing time. Photos are selected from at least one group as a recommended photo in the photo uploading region.

A server computing device can execute the steps of (1) managing a plurality of album artwork templates, wherein each album artwork template of the plurality of album artwork templates includes a plurality of entries, and each entry of the plurality of entries defines a respective manner by which a respective album artwork image is to be generated, (2) receiving, from a client device, a request for an album artwork image, wherein the request includes: a first identifier that corresponds to a particular image of an artist, a second identifier that corresponds to a particular album artwork template of the plurality of album artwork templates, and locale information that corresponds to a particular entry of the particular album artwork template, and (3) generating the album artwork image according to the respective manner defined by the particular entry, wherein the album artwork image is based at least in part on the particular image of the artist.

A method for authorizing online sharing of content including a digital photograph or video, includes receiving, at an electronic device, the content, identifying an image of a person in the content, identifying authorization conditions associated with the person, identifying an image of an object or audio in the content, based on both the image of the person identified and the image of the object or audio identified, determining if the authorization conditions associated with the person are met, and in response to determining that the authorization conditions are met, providing online access to the digital photograph or video.

A plurality of sharing groups are available to a user, each mapping to a corresponding set of users. While a first sharing group is the currently-selected sharing group, a first one or more activations of a capture control is detected. Based on the first sharing group being the currently-selected sharing group when the first one or more activations occurred, one or more first digital media items captured in response are automatically shared with a first set of users corresponding to the first sharing group. While a second sharing group is the currently-selected sharing group, a second one or more activations of the capture control is detected. Based on the second sharing group being the currently-selected sharing group when the second one or more activations occurred, one or more second digital media items captured in response are automatically shared with a second set of users corresponding to the second sharing group.
