  • Publication number: 20210051226
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display detects a plurality of manual activations of a first mode on the electronic device. The first mode, while active, prevents output of notifications when communications of a first type are received. After detecting the plurality of manual activations of the first mode, the device automatically determines, based on the plurality of manual activations of the first mode, a set of conditions that correspond to manual activations of the first mode and outputs a suggestion for activation of the first mode at the electronic device. After outputting the suggestion, the device receives a response that accepts the suggestion for activation of the first mode. In response to receiving the response that accepts the suggestion, the device changes settings at the device that are associated with the first mode.

  • Patent number: 10904379
    Abstract: While an electronic device with a display is in a reduced notification mode, the device receives one or more communications. After receiving the one or more communications, the device detects an alert condition for the reduced notification mode. In response to detecting the alert condition for the reduced notification mode, the device displays a first user interface that includes a first affordance which, when activated, causes deactivation of the reduced notification mode of the electronic device. In response to detecting a first input that activates the first affordance, the device deactivates the reduced notification mode, and displays a second user interface. The second user interface does not display content from any one of the one or more communications. While the second user interface is displayed, in response to detecting a second input, the device displays notifications that include content for at least some of the one or more communications.

  • Patent number: 10838586
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200348822
    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: 20190342251
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190342252
    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.
