Messaging system with message transmission user interface
A computer-implemented method of data transmission comprises: displaying a preview of a message; receiving a send gesture; displaying a send to window listing potential recipients once the send gesture reaches a threshold; receiving a recipient selection; and transmitting the previewed message to the selected recipient.
1. A computer-implemented method of data transmission, comprising:
receiving a first message from a first user;
displaying a preview of a second message generated by a second user in reply to the first message;
detecting a send gesture comprising a motion of the second user;
increasing an opacity of the previewed message in proportion to the motion until reaching a minimum motion threshold at a first opacity; and
transmitting the previewed message to the first user once the minimum motion threshold is reached.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gesture comprises a finger swiping upwards along a screen.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the minimum motion threshold comprises a height of about one third of the screen.
4. The method of claim 1 , where the previewed message is an ephemeral message.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the previewed message is a video message.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing haptic feedback once the threshold is reached.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a further gesture in an opposite direction to the send gesture and closing a send to window in response to the further gesture.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising increasing the first opacity to a second opacity once the minimum motion threshold is surpassed and wherein the first opacity is 50% opacity.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a client device, cause the client device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first message from a first user;
displaying a preview of a second message generated by a second user in reply to the first message;
detecting a send gesture comprising a motion of the second user;
increasing an opacity of the previewed message in proportion to the motion until reaching a minimum motion threshold at a first opacity; and
transmitting the previewed message to the first user once the minimum motion threshold is reached.
10. A computing apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first message from a first user;
displaying a preview of a second message generated by a second user in reply to the first message;
detecting a send gesture comprising a motion of the second user;
increasing an opacity of the previewed message in proportion to the motion until reaching a minimum motion threshold at a first opacity; and
transmitting the previewed message to the first user once the minimum motion threshold is reached.
11. The computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the gesture comprises a finger swipe upwards along a screen.
12. The computing apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the minimum motion threshold comprises a height of about one third of a screen.
13. The computing apparatus of claim 10 , where the previewed message is an ephemeral message.
14. The computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the previewed message is a video message.
15. The computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise providing haptic feedback once the threshold is reached.
16. The computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a gesture in an opposite direction to the send gesture and closing a send to window in response to the further gesture.
17. The computing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise increasing the first opacity to a second opacity once the minimum motion threshold is surpassed and wherein the first opacity is 50% opacity.
18. The computing apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the second opacity is 100% opacity.
