  • Patent number: 10680997
    Abstract: Messaging between a companion device and an accessory device is controlled such that different modes of communication may be utilized. The different modes can implement different messaging strategies, each of which is intended for efficient power management, in view of the limited electrical power that is typically available at the accessory device. A received request message for sending from the companion device to the accessory device is sent if predetermined conditions apply, and similarly for messages from the accessory device to the companion device.

  • Publication number: 20190087082
    Abstract: An electronic device with improved methods and interfaces for messaging displays a messaging user interface that includes a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user. A first message that includes foreign language text is received from a remote device that corresponds to another user included in the messaging session. In response to receiving the first message, the electronic device displays the first message in the conversation transcript. In response to detecting a first input at a location that corresponds to the foreign language text in the first message: in accordance with a determination that the first input meets translation criteria, the electronic device performs a foreign-language-text-translation action; and in accordance with a determination that the first input does not meet the translation criteria, the electronic device forgoes performance of the foreign-language-text-translation action.
