Message user interfaces for capture and transmittal of media and location content

Abstract

An electronic device displays a messaging interface that allows a participant in a message conversation to capture, send, and/or play media content. The media content includes images, video, and/or audio. The media content is captured, sent, and/or played based on the electronic device detecting one or more conditions.

 a touch-sensitive surface;   a display;   one or more processors;   memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 displaying, on the display, a media affordance, a message compose field, and a message conversation between participants, wherein the conversation is displayed in a message region; 
 detecting a contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the media affordance on the display; 
 in response to detecting the contact, displaying a live media preview in the message compose field; 
 detecting a lift-off of the contact from the touch-sensitive surface; 
 in response to detecting the lift-off, capturing a new image based on the live media preview; and 
 sending the captured image to a participant in the message conversation. 
   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the captured image is sent to the participant in response to detecting the lift-off. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the contact is a first contact, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 displaying a send button for sending a message to the participant in the message conversation; and   after detecting the lift-off and capturing the new image, detecting a second contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the send button on the display, wherein the captured image is sent to the first participant in response to detecting the second contact.   
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 further in response to detecting the lift-off, displaying a representation of the image in the message compose field.   
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 while displaying the representation of the captured image in the message compose field, detecting user entry of additional content in the message compose field, wherein the additional content and the captured image are sent to the participant in response to detecting the second contact.   
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 5 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 further in response to detecting the second contact, displaying the additional content and a thumbnail representing the captured image in a bounded message area that is inserted into the displayed message conversation.   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the live media preview in the message compose field comprises expanding the message compose field. 
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 displaying, on the display, a media affordance, a message compose field, and a message conversation between participants, wherein the conversation is displayed in a message region;   detecting a contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the media affordance on the display;   in response to detecting the contact, displaying a live media preview in the message compose field;   detecting a lift-off of the contact from the touch-sensitive surface;   in response to detecting the lift-off, capturing a new image based on the live media preview; and   sending the captured image to a participant in the message conversation.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the captured image is sent to the participant in response to detecting the lift-off. 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the contact is a first contact, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 displaying a send button for sending a message to the participant in the message conversation; and   after detecting the lift-off and capturing the new image, detecting a second contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the send button on the display, wherein the captured image is sent to the first participant in response to detecting the second contact.   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 further in response to detecting the lift-off, displaying a representation of the image in the message compose field.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 while displaying the representation of the captured image in the message compose field, detecting user entry of additional content in the message compose field, wherein the additional content and the captured image are sent to the participant in response to detecting the second contact.   
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 further in response to detecting the second contact, displaying the additional content and a thumbnail representing the captured image in a bounded message area that is inserted into the displayed message conversation.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein displaying the live media preview in the message compose field comprises expanding the message compose field. 
     
     
         15 . A method, comprising:
 at an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface:
 displaying, on the display, a media affordance, a message compose field, and a message conversation between participants, wherein the conversation is displayed in a message region; 
 detecting a contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the media affordance on the display; 
 in response to detecting the contact, displaying a live media preview in the message compose field; 
 detecting a lift-off of the contact from the touch-sensitive surface; 
 in response to detecting the lift-off, capturing a new image based on the live media preview; and 
 sending the captured image to a participant in the message conversation. 
   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the captured image is sent to the participant in response to detecting the lift-off. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the contact is a first contact, and wherein the method further comprises:
 displaying a send button for sending a message to the participant in the message conversation; and   after detecting the lift-off and capturing the new image, detecting a second contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the send button on the display, wherein the captured image is sent to the first participant in response to detecting the second contact.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 further in response to detecting the lift-off, displaying a representation of the image in the message compose field.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 while displaying the representation of the captured image in the message compose field, detecting user entry of additional content in the message compose field, wherein the additional content and the captured image are sent to the participant in response to detecting the second contact.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:
