- Anniversaries: a photo from your first date, sent first thing in the morning.
- Valentine's Day: your favorite photo of the two of you, posted in the couple's chat.
- Best-friend appreciation: Galentine's Day, a birthday or a random Tuesday.
- Mother's Day and Father's Day: an old family photo in a heart for the family group chat.
- A new pet: the first photo of the puppy, for everyone who's been begging for updates.
- Long distance: a quick heart when a call isn't possible.
