  • Patent number: 11995615
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays an editable time input element, including a first field and a second field. In some embodiments, the electronic device receives a selection input directed to the editable time input element. In some embodiments, after receiving the selection input, the electronic device receives one or more editing inputs. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the first set of one or more editing inputs, in accordance with a determination that the selection input was a first type of input, the electronic device edits content of the first field based on the one or more editing inputs and in accordance with a determination that the selection input was a second type of input, different from the first type, the electronic device edits content of the first field and the second field based on the one or more editing inputs.

  • Publication number: 20240045562
    Abstract: A system displays a representation of a camera field of view including a first portion of a physical environment, captures depth information indicative of a first subset of the first portion, and displays, overlaid on a portion of the representation of the field of view corresponding to the first subset, an indication of an extent of the first portion for which depth information has been captured. In response to detecting movement of the field of view, the system: updates the representation of the field of view to include a representation of a second portion of the physical environment; captures depth information indicative of a second subset of the second portion; and updates the indication to indicate an extent of the second portion for which depth information has been captured, including displaying the indication overlaid on a portion of the representation of the field of view corresponding to the second subset.

  • Publication number: 20240015120
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of messaging conversations. In some embodiments, an electronic device indicates which messages are replies to other messages in a messaging conversation. In some embodiments, an electronic device creates and presents links (e.g., rich links) to contacts in a messaging conversation (e.g., “mentions”). In some embodiments, an electronic device presents indications of messages that are replies to other messages. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents options to create a link (e.g., a rich link) to contacts in a messaging conversation (e.g., “mentions”) using a suggested entry user interface element.
