  • Publication number: 20250199677
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and another user, and a representation of a media item. The messaging session is configured to allow synchronized viewing of the media item by the user and the other user. In response to receiving a request for synchronized viewing, the electronic device initiates playback of content corresponding to the media item and displays the playback of the content at a fixed position relative to a portion of the messaging user interface. While displaying the content playback, the electronic device displays messages exchanged between the user and the other user below the displayed content playback. In response to detecting an end of the content corresponding to the media item, the electronic device ceases to display the content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position.

  • Patent number: 12262111
    Abstract: While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a locked, passcode-protected state, the device displays a lock screen user interface on the display. The lock screen user interface includes a plurality of restricted application launch icons, each restricted application launch icon corresponding to an application. The device also detects user input to activate a respective restricted application launch icon; and, in response to detecting the user input to activate the respective restricted application launch icon, starts a restricted session for a respective application that corresponds to the respective restricted application launch icon, wherein the respective application is configured to generate one or more content items while in the restricted session, and maintains the device in the locked, passcode-protected state for applications in the device other than the respective application.

  • Publication number: 20250060931
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that allow activation of and intuitive interactions with a companion-display mode for an electronic device. In one aspect, a first device receives a request to annotate content on the first device. In accordance with a determination that a second device is available for displaying the content in an annotation mode and has not been previously approved to display the content in the annotation mode, the first device displays a selectable option that, when selected, causes the first device to send an instruction to display the content in the annotation mode at the second device. When the electronic device is available for displaying the content in the annotation mode and has previously been approved to display the content in the annotation mode, the first device sends an instruction to the second device to display the content in the annotation mode automatically without further user intervention.

  • Patent number: 12198260
    Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a three-dimensional environment including a first representation of a first portion of a physical environment. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects movement of a first user from a first location to a second location of the physical environment, and in response: if the second location corresponds to a first type of exercise, the computer system replaces at least a portion of a second representation of a second portion of the physical environment that includes the second location with virtual content corresponding to the first type of exercise; and if the second location corresponds to a second type of exercise, the computer system replaces at least a portion of a third representation of a third portion of the physical environment that includes the second location with virtual content corresponding to the second type of exercise.

  • Patent number: 12131005
    Abstract: While concurrently displaying a first application view and a second application view in a first concurrent-display configuration of multiple different concurrent-display configurations, a first input that includes movement is directed to the first application view and drags a representation of the first application view across the display. While the representation of the first application view is dragged over different portions of the display, different visual indications are displayed to indicate that an end of the first input will result in the first application view and the second application view being displayed in a respective one of the different concurrent-display configurations. In response to detecting the end of the first input, depending on over which portion of the display the first input ended, the first application view and the second application view are displayed in a corresponding concurrent-display configurations of the multiple concurrent-display configurations.

  • Publication number: 20240348571
    Abstract: Techniques for live location sharing are described. A first mobile device and a second mobile device can communicate with one another using an IM program. The first mobile device can receive a user input to share a location of the first mobile device in the IM program. Sharing the location can include causing the second mobile device to display a location of the first mobile device in an IM program user interface on the second mobile device. Duration of sharing the location can be user-configurable. The second mobile device may or may not share a location of the second device for display in the IM program executing on the first mobile device.

  • Patent number: 12089121
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing location information during a message conversation are provided. An electronic device displays a message region for displaying a message transcript of messages sent between a first participant and a second participant in a message conversation. The electronic device displays a location-sharing affordance. The electronic device detects a selection of the location-sharing affordance, where detecting a selection of the location-sharing affordance by the first participant comprises detecting a single contact by the first participant. In response to detecting a selection of the location-sharing affordance, the electronic device enables the second participant to obtain the first participant location information and displays a modified location-sharing affordance.

  • Patent number: 12045440
    Abstract: As computer processing power has increased and mobile devices have proliferated, with users often own multiple devices and utilize larger numbers of tabs in the browsers on their devices. In order to enhance user experience with these developments, tab organization is improved through tab scrolling and tab overviews. Further, users often utilize private browsing sessions when they desire their device to retain less information about their browsing history. Switching between private and regular browsing sessions and having to open, close, and otherwise manage separate sessions can be cumbersome. Switching between private browsing sessions and regular browsing sessions can be performed in an efficient manner that indicates to the user the type of session they are currently in and whether they would like to retain a set of tabs or favorite web pages for a private browsing session.
