Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing functionalities associated with a dynamic information region of an electronic device. The information region can update with indications of various applications in response to various triggers. Further, the information region can detect selections by a user of the electronic device and display functions associated with the selected application in response to detecting the selections. The user can use various gestures to select the application of the information region or a function of the application, and the electronic device can initiate the application according to the selection. In embodiments, the content in the information region can update from within an application based on switches among interface screens of the application, the receipt of external or internal notifications, user interactions, and/or the like.
