- by a client computing device, receiving a first user input to scroll through a first plurality of content items of a first content section, the first plurality of content items comprising one or more first content items that have been downloaded to the client computing device and one or more second content items that have not been downloaded to the client computing device;
by the client computing device, when the first user input is received, scrolling through the first content items in a forward direction;
by the client computing device, when a last one of the first content items of the first content section is reached, presenting for display a visual indication that there are second content items from the first plurality of content items existing after the last one of the first content items;
by the client computing device, after displaying the visual indication, displaying a graphical interactive element that overlays the visual indication, the graphical interactive element graphically indicating that one or more of the second content items are available to be downloaded and presented for display upon receipt of a user input;
by the client computing device, when a second user input selecting the graphical interactive element is received by the client computing device, downloading one or more of the second content items and enabling the user to scroll through the second content items; and
by the client computing device, when a third user input different from the second user input is received by the client computing device, scrolling from the last one of the first content items in the first content section to a second content section without downloading the one or more second content items of the first content section, wherein the second content section is different from the first content section and comprises a second plurality of content items.
