Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatuses for enabling a first device (100) to interact with a second device (102) for usage of functionality in the second device. When the first device detects (1:1) that it is present within a limited distance (102a) from the second device by means of a local wireless link, the first device sends (1:2) a request to a social network manager (104) to establish a temporary trusted connection with the second device. The first device then obtains (1:5) profile information regarding the second device from the social network manager based on the trusted connection, and adapts (1:6) its user interface based on the profile information. A user is then able to execute the interaction between the first and second devices via the social network manager by means of the adapted user interface.
