Abstract

A device provides user interfaces for a messaging application. The device receives a first message and displays a representation of the first message, where the first message is scheduled to be deleted upon satisfaction of expiration criteria. The device displays an affordance for keeping the first message. In accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria, the device keeps the first message. In accordance with a determination that the expiration criteria has been satisfied without detecting selection of the affordance, the device ceases to display the representation of the first message on the display.

Claims (81)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a touch-sensitive surface;

one or more processors;

memory; and

one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

receiving a first message from a first participant;

displaying a representation of the first message on the display, wherein the first message is scheduled to be deleted upon satisfaction of expiration criteria;

displaying an affordance for keeping the first message;

in accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria;

keeping the first message; and

providing an indication to the first participant that the first message has been kept; and

in accordance with a determination that the expiration criteria has been satisfied without detecting selection of the affordance, ceasing to display the representation of the first message on the display.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

receiving a second message, wherein the second message is not deleted based on the expiration criteria.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the second message is a text message.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the expiration criteria is based on a time interval.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the time interval is measured starting from a time after the media is played.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the time interval is measured starting from a time when the media is created.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the expiration criteria is based on whether the first message contains media.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the expiration criteria is based on whether the media was captured using a messaging application.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first message contains media, the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria, saving the media in a media library.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first message contains media, the one or more programs further including instructions for:

determining whether the media was captured using a messaging application; and

in accordance with a determination that the media was not captured using a messaging application, saving the media to a media library.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

determining whether the first message is an audio message; and

in accordance with a determination that the first message is an audio message, displaying the affordance for keeping the first message.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the expiration criteria comprises a criterion that text messages do not expire.

13. A method, comprising:

at an electronic device comprising a touch-sensitive surface and a display:

receiving a first message from a first participant;

displaying a representation of the first message on the display, wherein the first message is scheduled to be deleted upon satisfaction of expiration criteria;

displaying an affordance for keeping the first message;

in accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria;

keeping the first message; and

providing an indication to the first participant that the first message has been kept; and

in accordance with a determination that the expiration criteria has been satisfied without detecting selection of the affordance, ceasing to display the representation of the first message on the display.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving a second message, wherein the second message is not deleted based on the expiration criteria.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the second message is a text message.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the expiration criteria is based on a time interval.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the time interval is measured starting from a time after the media is played.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the time interval is measured starting from a time when the media is created.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the expiration criteria is based on whether the first message contains media.

20. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the expiration criteria is based on whether the media was captured using a messaging application.

21. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first message contains media, the method further comprising:

in accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria, saving the media in a media library.

22. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first message contains media, the method further comprising:

determining whether the media was captured using a messaging application; and

in accordance with a determination that the media was not captured using a messaging application, saving the media to a media library.

23. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

determining whether the first message is an audio message; and

in accordance with a determination that the first message is an audio message, displaying the affordance for keeping the first message.

24. The method of claim 13 , wherein the expiration criteria comprises a criterion that text messages do not expire.

25. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the device to:

receive a first message from a first participant;

display a representation of the first message on the display, wherein the first message is scheduled to be deleted upon satisfaction of expiration criteria;

display an affordance for keeping the first message;

in accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria;

keep the first message; and

provide an indication to the first participant that the first message has been kept; and

in accordance with a determination that the expiration criteria has been satisfied without detecting selection of the affordance, cease to display the representation of the first message on the display.

26. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 25 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

receiving a second message, wherein the second message is not deleted based on the expiration criteria.

27. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 26 , wherein the second message is a text message.

28. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the expiration criteria is based on a time interval.

29. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 28 , wherein the first message contains media, and wherein the time interval is measured starting from a time after the media is played.
