  • Publication number: 20230079981
    Abstract: At a computer system, display a first user interface that includes a placement location that is configured to spatially accommodate a respective user interface object of a plurality of user interface objects corresponding to different applications. The plurality of user interface objects includes a first user interface object corresponding to a first application, and a second user interface object corresponding to a second application different from the first application. The first user interface object corresponding to the first application is displayed at the placement location. The computer system detects an occurrence of an event associated with a change in status of the second application corresponding to the second user interface object. In response, the first user interface object is ceased to be displayed at the placement location, and the first user interface with the second user interface object is displayed at the placement location.

  • Patent number: 11455085
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first home screen user interface that includes a first subset of application icons. While displaying the first home screen user interface, in response to detecting a first input that meets second criteria and corresponds to a request to navigate to a second home screen user interface, replacing the first home screen user interface with the second home screen user interface. While displaying the second home screen user interface, in response to detecting second input that meets third criteria: replacing the second home screen user interface with a respective user interface that includes representations of a plurality of automatically-generated groupings of a plurality of applications. Activation of a respective representation of a respective automatically-generated grouping of the plurality of automatically-generated groupings in accordance with the first criteria causes display of a third subset of application icons.
