  • Publication number: 20230065161
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a media capture user interface that includes a media capture preview of objects in a field of view of the camera. While displaying the media capture user interface, the electronic device scans the field of view of the camera for data encoded in an optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera includes data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets respective notification criteria, the electronic device displays a notification that indicates that the camera application has detected data encoded in the optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera does not include data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets the respective notification criteria, the electronic device maintains display of the media capture user interface of the camera application without displaying the notification.

  • Publication number: 20230012613
    Abstract: In response to detecting a storage management input, a device displays a storage management user interface including a first storage management affordance that is associated with a first storage management operation and a second storage management affordance that is associated with a second storage management operation. While displaying the storage management user interface, the device detects a selection input selecting the first storage management affordance. In response to detecting the selection input, the device initiates a process for performing the first storage management operation. After initiating the process for performing the first storage management operation, the device displays the storage management user interface including the second storage management affordance and a third storage management affordance that is associated with a third storage management operation that is different from the first storage management operation and the second storage management operation.

  • Patent number: 11550467
    Abstract: A method includes, while an application is installed on a device and a representation of the application has a designated location in a respective portion of an application launching user interface, detecting an application-demotion request to delete the application from the device without deleting associated data for the application. In response to detecting the application-demotion request, deleting the application from the device without deleting the associated data for the application. After deleting the application from the device, detecting a request to display the respective portion of the application launching user interface and, in response to detecting the request to display the respective portion of the application launching user interface, displaying the respective portion of the application launching user interface, including displaying the representation of the application in the designated location in the respective portion of the application launching user interface.

  • Publication number: 20220385763
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing phone calls. In some embodiments, an electronic device with a touch screen displays a phone call user interface which includes informational items associated with phone calls, such as an add call affordance. In some embodiments, when the electronic device receives a request to initiate another phone and displays an additional user interface that includes a merge call affordance that replaces display of the add call affordance.

  • Patent number: 11423209
    Abstract: An electronic device: displays an electronic form with a plurality of fields; detects an autofill input that corresponds to a field of the plurality of fields in the electronic form; and in response to detecting the autofill input, updates the electronic form to display fields that have been populated based on a user profile. If the autofill input is associated with a first category of information in the user profile, updating the electronic form includes populating at least two of the plurality of fields using information from the user profile that corresponds to the first category of information. If the autofill input is associated with a second category of information in the user profile, updating the electronic form includes populating at least two of the plurality of fields using information from the user profile that corresponds to the second category of information.

  • Patent number: 11392283
    Abstract: An electronic device: displays a first window in a display area; and detects a first user input associated with one or more edges of the first window. In response to detecting the first user input, and in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to a first input type, the device resizes one or more dimensions of the first window that correspond to the one or more edges of the first window based on a movement vector associated with the first user input. In response to detecting the first user input, and in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to a second input type, the device moves the one or more edges of the first window to one or more corresponding edges of the display area while maintaining respective one or more opposite edges of the first window.
