  • Patent number: 11681866
    Abstract: An electronic device: displays a first portion of content within an application interface; detects a screenshot capture input; and, in response to detecting the screenshot capture input: captures a screenshot image of the first portion of the content; and displays a screenshot editing interface that includes the screenshot image of the first portion of the content within an image area and expansion affordances provided to expand the screenshot image. The electronic device also: while displaying the screenshot editing interface, detects an expansion input that corresponds to expanding the screenshot image in one or more dimensions; and, in response to detecting the expansion input, modifies the screenshot image by displaying a second portion of the content within the image area in addition to the first portion of the content, where the second portion of the content was not displayed before detecting the screenshot capture input.

  • Patent number: 11640237
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to handwriting on touch sensitive surfaces. In some examples, text suggestions strokes entered on a touch sensitive surface are viewed and selected in response to a rotatable input mechanism. In some examples, text determined from a set of strokes on the touch sensitive surface is revised based on a subsequently entered stroke on the touch sensitive surface. In some examples, a determination is made whether to include a stroke in a set of strokes based a time between the stroke and the previous stroke. In some examples, determining text based on a set of stroke is interrupted to determined revised text based on the set of strokes and a second stroke.

  • Publication number: 20230130116
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and display can execute a messaging application. In the messaging application, swipe options can be displayed for messages and threads. Swipe options correspond to actions that can be taken on the messages or threads. Messages and threads can be associated with notification rules as well as be ignored. Composition interfaces and messages can be displayed simultaneously in the messaging application. The messaging application can display a conversation view of a message thread with a common header that can include subject information and names of participants in the threads. The messaging application allows for adding and removing participants to the conversation view. The messaging application allows for grouping search results from a search of messages using a search term. The grouping can be based on the location of the search term within the messages.

  • Patent number: 11258740
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and display can execute a messaging application. The messaging application provides options for sending a message with a large attachment. In one option it allows for sending a message with a large attachment by uploading and storing the attachment on a cloud server, embeds a link to the storage location in the message, and sends the message without the attachment. The messaging application may also include a UI element in the message that includes an indicator about the status of the stored attachment. Furthermore, the messaging application may embed in the message a smaller sized version of the attachment before sending the message. The status indicator may display whether the link to the storage location has expired or whether the attachment has previously been retrieved from the cloud server.
