  • Patent number: 12602142
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing and sharing contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives an input, and in response, displays a suggested collection of media items for sharing with a recipient, wherein the collection is relevant to a message conversation with the recipient. Subsequent to displaying the suggested collection, the device transmits a message to the recipient as part of the message conversation that provides access to the at least a portion of the suggested collection of media items. In some embodiments, a device receives an indication, from an external device, that a first user has shared a first collection of media items with a second user. Subsequent to receiving the indication that the first user has shared the first collection of media items with the second user, the device outputs a prompt to share, with the first user, one or more suggested media items.

  • Publication number: 20260030336
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to implementing biometric authentication, including providing user interfaces for: while the electronic device is in a first state in which a respective function of the electronic device is disabled, detecting one or more activations of the button; and in response to detecting the one or more activations of the button: capturing, with the one or more biometric sensors that are separate from the button, biometric data; if the biometric data satisfies biometric authentication criteria, transitioning the electronic device to a second state in which the respective function of the electronic device is enabled; and if the biometric data does not satisfy the biometric authentication criteria, maintaining the electronic device in the first state and displaying, on the display, an indication that biometric authentication has failed.

  • Publication number: 20260016930
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.

  • Publication number: 20250111822
    Abstract: A system may include a display having a housing, a cover lens coupled to the housing, a light plate assembly in the housing, a diffuser that overlaps the light plate assembly, a louver layer that overlaps the diffuser, and a ring light source that emits additional light around the periphery of the light plate assembly and through the cover lens. The light plate assembly may include an array of light-emitting components. To improve the efficiency and contrast of the light plate assembly, reflective fill material may be formed around each light-emitting component, and absorptive fill material may surround the reflective fill material. The absorptive fill material may absorb ambient light, while the reflective fill material may redirect stray light out of the display. Dam material may surround the absorptive fill material and/or the reflective fill material.
