  • Publication number: 20240402892
    Abstract: An electronic device receives a request to display a first user interface. The electronic device, in response to receiving the request to display the first user interface, displays the first user interface that includes a plurality of widgets, including: in accordance with a determination that the first user interface is displayed in a first orientation, displaying a first version of the first user interface that includes a first set of widgets; and in accordance with a determination that the first user interface is displayed in a second orientation that is different from the first orientation, displaying a second version of the first user interface that includes a second set of widgets, wherein the widgets included in the second set of widgets are different from the widgets included in the first set of widgets.

  • Publication number: 20240406304
    Abstract: A computer system detects a first event. In response to detecting the first event: if first criteria are met as a result of the first event, wherein the first criteria require that the orientation of the display generation component is a first orientation, and that the computer system is charging, in order for the first criteria to be met, the computer system displays a first customizable user interface that was not displayed prior to detecting the first event; and, if the first criteria are not met as a result of the first event, the computer system forgoes displaying the first customizable user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230393700
    Abstract: A method is performed at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices. A first set of one or more windows in an interactive mode, and a representation of a second set of one or more windows in a non-interactive mode are concurrently displayed. While a window is displayed in an interactive mode, the content of the window can be manipulated in response to user inputs. While a representation of a window is displayed in a non-interactive mode, the content of the window is not available to be manipulated in response to user inputs. An input selecting the representation of the second set of one or more windows is detected. In response to detecting the input, the first set of one or more windows in the interactive mode are ceased to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20220326816
    Abstract: An example method includes: concurrently displaying: a first view of a first application in a first display mode; and a display mode affordance; while displaying the first view of the first application, receiving a sequence of one or more inputs including a first input selecting the display mode affordance; and in response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs: ceasing to display at least a portion of the first view of the first application while maintaining display of a representation of the first application; displaying at least a portion of a home screen that includes multiple application affordances, receiving a second input selecting an application affordance associated with a second application; and in response to receiving the second input, concurrently displaying, via the display generation component: a second view of the first application and a first view of the second application.
