Abstract
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.
