  • Patent number: 11775141
    Abstract: Context-specific user interfaces, e.g., for use with a portable multifunction device, provide, inter alia, indications of time and, optionally, a variety of additional information. A user interface screen including a current time indicator and a first platter is displayed. The first platter is at a first position, is associated with a first application, and displays a first set of information obtained from the first application. The first set of information relates to a first temporal context of the current day. In response to detecting a user input, the first platter is displayed at a second position and a second platter is displayed at the first position. The second platter is associated with a second application and displays a second set of information obtained from the second application. The second set of information relates to a second temporal context of the current day.

  • Patent number: 11675476
    Abstract: Techniques for displaying widgets are described. In some examples, while displaying a first plurality of application icons, an electronic device detects a first user input. In response to detecting the first user input, in accordance with a determination that the first user input includes movement in a first direction, the electronic device ceases display of the first plurality of application icons, and displays a second plurality of application icons. In response to detecting the first user input, in accordance with a determination that the first user input includes movement in a second direction, the electronic device modifies display of the first plurality of application icons to change a distance between a first application icon and a second application icon of the first plurality of application icons, and concurrently displays the modified first plurality of application icons and the first set of one or more user interface elements.

  • Publication number: 20220365640
    Abstract: A computer system detects a first input requesting display of a home screen of the computer system, and in response, in accordance with a determination that a first activity mode is active on the computer system, displays a first home screen associated with the first activity mode, and enables provision of first notifications by the computer system in accordance with settings of the first activity mode; and in accordance with a determination that a second activity mode is active on the computer system, the computer system displays a second home screen associated with the second activity mode, and enables provision of second notifications by the computer system in accordance with settings of the second activity mode. The second home screen is different from the first home screen, and at least some settings of the second activity mode are different from the settings of the first activity mode.

  • Patent number: 11502984
    Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of notifications in a notification history, including a first notification of a first event of a first event type and a second notification of a second event of the first event type. The first notification and the second notification are coalesced in the notification history. In response to detecting an additional event of the first event type, a third notification is created for the additional event. After creating the third notification, in response to a request to display a wake screen, the wake screen is displayed with the third notification. The third notification is displayed without information about the first notification and the second notification. After the third notification has been displayed, in response to a request to display the notification history, the notification history is displayed with a coalesced representation of the first notification and the second notification.

  • Patent number: 11489803
    Abstract: A computer system displays a plurality of notifications for a plurality of different applications including notifications for a first application and notifications for a second application. User interaction with the plurality of notifications includes requests to perform requested operations with respect to the notifications. In response to the user interaction, the requested operations are performed. A prompt for the user to adjust notification settings for one or more of the plurality of applications is displayed. In accordance with a determination, based on the user interaction, that engagement of the user with the notifications of the first application is below a threshold level of engagement and engagement of the user with the notifications of the second application is above the threshold level of engagement, a suggestion to reduce a prominence of future notifications of the first application without reducing a prominence of future notifications of the second application is displayed.
