Abstract
To inform the design of future social mobile applications, we need a better understanding of the current practices of mobile messaging today, including how small groups use existing communication systems and what needs are missing from such systems. Towards this end, we discuss our findings from an interview study assessing users’ perceptions of instant messaging, location, mobility, and privacy.
