  • Publication number: 20260122355
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for managing camera sharing between devices. In some embodiments, a first computer system displays a system interface with a set of camera options for a second computer system and an option to select a camera of a second computer system for generating a video feed at the first computer system. In some embodiments, a first computer system is in a first mode of operation in which video information is provided to a second computer system, and the first computer system receives an input and switches to a second mode of operation and ceases providing the video information to the second computer system. In some embodiments, a first computer system determines whether or not to automatically set a camera of a second computer system as a system camera for the first computer system based on device proximity.

  • Patent number: 12530107
    Abstract: A computer system receives, by a first application, a plurality of shared media items. After receiving the plurality of shared media items, the computer system receives, via one or more input devices, a request to search a media library of a second application that is different from the first application for media items in the media library that meet search criteria. In response to receiving the request to search the media library, the computer system concurrently displays, via a display generation component, two or more media items that meet the search criteria. The two or more media items include: one or more media items from the media library of the second application that meet the search criteria, and one or more of the shared media items that are not stored within the media library of the second application and that meet the search criteria.

  • Publication number: 20240373124
    Abstract: User interfaces for controlling media capture settings are described, including user interfaces for controlling capture of media with associated depth information (e.g., for applying simulated depth-of-field effects), controlling media capture settings with multiple input types, controlling zoom settings for media capture (e.g., conditionally displaying a secondary preview at a different zoom level), capturing and viewing media using internal and external media storage, and controlling an indicator for level capture guidance.

  • Patent number: 11875016
    Abstract: A computer system receives, by a first application, a plurality of shared media items and receives a request to display a view of a media application that includes the media library that includes a first plurality of media items. The computer system displays a collection of media items in the media application that are selected based on first criteria. Displaying the collection of media items includes displaying a second plurality of media items selected from the media library based on the first criteria. In accordance with a determination that a first shared media item from a set of one or media items that have not been added to the media library meets display criteria, the display criteria including the first criteria, displaying the first shared media item in the collection of media items concurrently with the second plurality of media items.
