1. A method, comprising:
providing, on a first device associated with a first user, display of a send interface for sharing media content as captured by a camera of the first device, the send interface including a first button which is user-selectable to create a content collection based on the media content,
wherein the content collection corresponds to a collection of media content items which is automatically played back according to a predefined order, and which is advanced or reversed in response to predefined user input; and
receiving, from the first device, an indication of first user input selecting the first button;
providing, in response to receiving the indication of first user input, display of an overlay on the send interface,
wherein the overlay includes a second button and a third button, the second button being user-selectable to create the content collection as private which limits adding media content to the content collection to the first user, and the third button being user-selectable to create the content collection as shared which permits any user who joined the content collection to add media content to the content collection;
receiving, from the first device, an indication of second user input provided via the overlay to share the content collection between the first user and a second user selected by the first user, the second user corresponding to a contact of the first user;
storing, in response to receiving the indication of second user input, the content collection in association with the first user and the second user;
providing, based on the storing, the first user with a first set of permissions for accessing the content collection; and
providing, based on the storing, the second user with a second set of permissions for accessing the content collection, the second set of permissions being more restrictive than the first set of permissions.
