In-context control of feed privacy settings
Systems and methods for providing feed privacy settings in-context with an activity that will be affected by the feed privacy setting. An example method comprising: receiving an indication of an occurrence of an activity in a content sharing platform, the occurrence of the activity corresponding to a feed item of a first feed item type; requesting user input via a user interface that simultaneously presents the feed item of the first feed item type and a privacy setting selection for the first feed item type, wherein the user input pertains to the privacy setting selection; receiving the privacy setting selection for the first feed item type while the user interface presents the feed item; and in response to receiving the privacy setting selection, updating a privacy setting for multiple feed items comprising the feed item and a subsequent feed item of the first feed item type.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processing device, an indication of an occurrence of an activity in a content sharing platform, the occurrence of the activity corresponding to a feed item of a first feed item type;
determining, by a processing device, a privacy setting for the first feed item type;
providing, by the processing device, a user interface that simultaneously presents the feed item of the first feed item type and the determined privacy setting for the first feed item type;
receiving, by the processing device, user input indicating a privacy setting selection corresponding to the determined privacy setting for the first feed item type while the user interface presents the feed item;
in response to the privacy setting selection, updating, by the processing device, the privacy setting for multiple feed items comprising the feed item and a subsequent feed item of the first feed item type; and
requesting an update to the privacy setting for the first feed item type in response to determining that a threshold period of time has passed since receiving the privacy setting selection for the first feed item type.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity comprises at least one of liking an object, subscribing to a content channel, publishing an object, or adding an object to a playlist.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the user input indicating a private setting for the feed item of the first feed item type, maintaining the feed item as private.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the privacy setting selection for the first feed item type has been previously received.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
determining that the user input pertaining to the privacy setting selection indicates a private setting for the first feed item type.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multiple feed items comprise a public feed item to be shared with other users of the content sharing platform and a private feed item that is not shared with the other users.
7. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication of an occurrence of an activity in a content sharing platform, the occurrence of the activity corresponding to a feed item of a first feed item type;
determining, by a processing device, a privacy setting for the feed item type;
providing a user interface that simultaneously presents the feed item of the first feed item type and the determined privacy setting for the first feed item type;
receiving user input indicating a privacy setting selection corresponding to the determined privacy setting for the first feed item type while the user interface presents the feed item;
in response to the privacy setting selection, updating the privacy setting for multiple feed items comprising the feed item and a subsequent feed item of the first feed item type; and
requesting an update to the privacy setting for the first feed item type responsive to determining that a threshold period of time has passed since receiving the privacy setting selection for the first feed item type.
8. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the activity comprises at least one of liking an object, subscribing to a content channel, publishing an object, or adding an object to a playlist.
9. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:
responsive to the user input indicating a private setting for the feed items of the first feed item type, maintaining the feed item as private.
10. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:
determining that the privacy setting selection for the first feed item type has been previously received.
11. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
determining that the user input pertaining to the privacy setting selection indicates a private setting for the first feed item type.
12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the multiple feed items comprise a public feed item to be shared with other users of the content sharing platform and a private feed item that is not shared with the other users.
13. A computer system comprising:
a memory;
a processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is to:
receive an indication of an occurrence of an activity in a content sharing platform, the occurrence of the activity corresponding to a feed item of a first feed item type;
determine a privacy setting for the feed item type;
provide a user interface that simultaneously presents the feed item of the first feed item type and the determined privacy setting for the first feed item type;
receive user input indicating a privacy setting selection corresponding to the determined privacy setting for the first feed item type while the user interface presents the feed item;
in response to the privacy setting selection, update the privacy setting for multiple feed items comprising the feed item and a subsequent feed item of the first feed item type; and
request an update to the privacy setting for the first feed item type responsive to a determination that a threshold period of time has passed since receipt of the privacy setting selection for the first feed item type.
14. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the activity comprises at least one of liking an object, subscribing to a content channel, publishing an object, or adding an object to a playlist.
15. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further to:
responsive to the user input indicating a private setting for the multiple feed items of the first feed item type, maintain the multiple feed items as private.
16. The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further to: determine that the user input pertaining to the privacy setting selection indicates a private setting for the first feed item type.
