  • Publication number: 20260319656
    Abstract: While displaying a system user interface including a respective user interface object containing first content that indicates a current status of a first event, an electronic device with a display and touch-sensitive surface detects a first input for the respective user interface object on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first input, if the first input meets first criteria, the device displays an expanded view of the respective user interface object in the system user interface. While displaying the system user interface, including the expanded view of the respective user interface object, the device detects a second input for the respective user interface object. In response to detecting the second input, if the second input meets second criteria, the device replaces display of the system user interface with a respective user interface of a first application that corresponds to the first event.

  • Publication number: 20260197257
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device presents settings user interfaces associated with cellular identifiers. In some embodiments, a first electronic device accesses a first cellular identifier regardless of the first electronic device's connection to a second electronic device and accesses a second cellular identifier when the first electronic device is connected to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents visual indications of cellular identifiers in relation to communication functions. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents visual indications of the status of cellular identifiers active on the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents alerts associated with one or more cellular identifiers that have been removed from the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 12677096
    Abstract: A context-aware voice guidance method is provided that interacts with other voice services of a user device. The voice guidance does not provide audible guidance while the user is making a verbal request to any of the voice-activated services. Instead, the voice guidance transcribes its output on the screen while the verbal requests from the user are received. In some embodiments, the voice guidance only provides a short warning sound to get the user's attention while the user is speaking on a phone call or another voice-activated service is providing audible response to the user's inquires. The voice guidance in some embodiments distinguishes between music that can be ducked and spoken words, for example from an audiobook, that the user wants to pause instead of being skipped. The voice guidance ducks music but pauses spoken words of an audio book in order to provide voice guidance to the user.
