Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for displaying a profile from a content feed within a messaging system. The program and method provide for receiving by a messaging application, first user input corresponding to a request for a content feed, the content feed comprising a plurality of media content items; providing, in response to receiving the first user input, for display of the content feed; receiving, by the messaging application, second user input of a predefined gesture performed with respect to a first media content item of the plurality of media content items; determining, in response to receiving the second user input and based on the first media content item, to display a public profile associated with the first media content item; and providing, based on the determining, for display of the public profile.

A social media platform provides a map-based graphical user interface (GUI) with multiple geographically anchored icons that are selectable to trigger playback of respective galleries of ephemeral messages. Each of the plurality of location-based ephemeral galleries comprises media content contributed by multiple different users. The ephemeral galleries are compiled based on geotag data associated with respective ephemeral messages submitted by multiple users to be publicly viewable via the map-based GUI. Two or more different types of galleries are represented in the map-based GUI by different, visually distinct types of gallery icon.
