1. A computer-implemented method of displaying a user interface, comprising:
causing a preview display of a user-generated message on a screen;
detecting a discard motion;
sliding the preview display along the screen in a direction of the detected discard motion with rubber banding resistance;
while detecting the discard motion, causing display of a discard instruction comprising an opacity increasing in proportion to a range of the discard motion up to a first opacity until reaching a motion threshold without changing an opacity of the user-generated message;
causing display of the discard instruction at a second opacity greater than the first opacity once the motion threshold is reached; and
discarding the previewed message.
