  • Patent number: 11743213
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of messaging conversations. In some embodiments, an electronic device indicates which messages are replies to other messages in a messaging conversation. In some embodiments, an electronic device creates and presents links (e.g., rich links) to contacts in a messaging conversation (e.g., “mentions”). In some embodiments, an electronic device presents indications of messages that are replies to other messages. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents options to create a link (e.g., a rich link) to contacts in a messaging conversation (e.g., “mentions”) using a suggested entry user interface element.

  • Patent number: 11727650
    Abstract: A computer system displays a representation of a camera field of view and receives one or more inputs corresponding to a request to display the representation of the field of view based on a physical object at a first pose, a virtual object at a simulated second pose, and the one or more cameras at a third pose in a physical environment. In response, if a first portion of the virtual object corresponds to physical space that is occluded by the physical object, the system: displays the representation of the physical object; forgoes displaying the first portion of the virtual object; and, if a second portion of the virtual object corresponds to physical space that is not occluded, displays the second portion, including visually deemphasizing a displayed first region of the second portion relative to a displayed second region of the second portion of the virtual object.

  • Publication number: 20220276041
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a representation of a field of view of a camera that includes a view of a three-dimensional space. The representation of the field of view is updated over time based on changes to current visual data detected by at least one of the one or more cameras. Movement of the electronic device moves the field of view of the camera in a first direction. While detecting the movement, the electronic device: updates the representation of the field of view in accordance with the movement; identifies one or more elements in the representation of the field of view that extend along the first direction; and, based at least in part on the determination of the one or more elements, displays, in the representation of the field of view, a guide that extends in the first direction and that corresponds to one of the identified elements.

  • Patent number: 11391561
    Abstract: An electronic device displays an application user interface that includes a representation of a field of view of one or more cameras. The representation of the field of view is updated over time based on changes to current visual data detected by the one or more cameras, and the field of view includes a physical object in a three-dimensional space. While the device is a first distance from the physical object, the device displays a representation of a measurement that corresponds to the physical object. After the device has moved to a second distance from the physical object, the device displays, a second representation of the measurement that includes one or more scale markers along at least a portion of the second representation of the measurement that were not displayed with the first representation of the measurement.

  • Publication number: 20220092862
    Abstract: A computer system, while displaying a view of a computer-generated environment, detects movement of a physical object, and in response: in accordance with a determination that a user is within a threshold distance of a first portion of the physical object and that the physical object meets preset criteria, the computer system changes an appearance of virtual content displayed at a position corresponding to a current location of the physical object's first portion, without changing an appearance of virtual content displayed at a position corresponding to the physical object's second portion; and in accordance with a determination that the user is within the threshold distance and that the physical object does not meet the preset criteria, the computer system changes an appearance of virtual content displayed at a position corresponding to a current location of the physical object's first portion.

  • Publication number: 20220058882
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface with a first representation of content and, in response to receiving a request to display a virtual model that corresponds to the content, displays the virtual model of the content concurrently with a selectable user interface object for performing the operation associated with the content in accordance with a determination that the first user interface is configured to perform an operation associated with the content and displaying the virtual model of the content without displaying the selectable user interface object for performing the operation associated with the content in accordance with a determination that the first user interface is not configured to perform the operation associated with the content.
