  • Patent number: 12327011
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first user interface that includes respective selectable representations of a plurality of categories for media items associated with the computer system, including at least a first selectable representation of a first category and a second selectable representation of a second category. While displaying the first user interface for configuring the system user interface, the computer system detects a first input selecting a set of one or more of the plurality of categories. After the set of one or more of the plurality of categories were selected by the first input, the computer system displays the system user interface, wherein displaying the system user interface includes, over time displaying the system user interface with a plurality of versions of the first background that respectively include media items selected from media items in respective categories in the set of one or more of the plurality of categories.

  • Patent number: 12314553
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device provides for transitioning between simulated lighting effects. In some examples, the electronic device applies a simulated lighting effect to an image. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for applying a filter to an image. In some examples, the electronic device provides for a reduced filter interface. In some examples, the electronic device provides a visual aid displayed in a viewfinder.

  • Patent number: 12277003
    Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.
