The present disclosure generally relates to managing user inputs. In some examples, devices receive user inputs via a biometric sensor, such as a fingerprint sensor. In some examples, devices receive user inputs via a button. In some examples, devices receive user inputs via touch sensors. In some examples, the biometric sensor and/or the touch sensor is integrated into the button.

User input interfaces

Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface

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.

Systems, methods, and user interfaces for interacting with multiple application windows

While user interface objects that correspond to different applications are concurrently displayed at respective depths, with a background located behind the user interface objects visible via a display, a user input including a movement is detected. In response to the user input, if the input is directed to a first user interface object and the movement meets first criteria, the computer system maintains display of the second user interface object while the background remains visible, and ceases to display the first user interface object; and if the input is directed to the second user interface object and the movement meets first criteria, the computer system maintains display of the first user interface object while the background remains visible, and ceases to display the second user interface object.

Devices and methods for interacting with an application switching user interface

An electronic device displays a first application and a second application along an edge of the display and, while concurrently displaying the first and second applications, detects an edge-swipe gesture. in response, if the location corresponds to a location of a respective application on the display, the respective application is associated with standard edge-swipe gesture criteria, and the edge-swipe gesture meets the standard edge-swipe gesture criteria, the device performs a system operation that includes displaying a system user interface at a portion of the display previously occupied by at least a portion of the first application and at least a portion of the second application; if the location of the edge-swipe gesture corresponds to a location of the respective application, the respective application is associated with enhanced edge-swipe gesture criteria, and the edge-swipe gesture does not meet the enhanced edge-swipe gesture criteria, the device forgoes performing the system operation.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for navigating between user interfaces, displaying a dock, and displaying system user interface elements

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

An electronic device displays content on a touch-sensitive display. A movement of a contact is detected. The movement of the contact is in a direction substantially perpendicular to an edge of the touch-sensitive display. A dock overlaying at least a portion of the content is displayed upon determining that movement of the contact satisfies a first movement-based threshold. The dock includes a number of affordances that, when selected, cause the electronic device to open a respective application that is available on the electronic device. While displaying the dock and in accordance with a determination that movement of the contact satisfies a second movement-based threshold greater than the first movement-based threshold, an application-switcher user interface is activated. The application-switcher user interface includes respective selectable representations of at least some applications that were recently used on the electronic device.

Systems and methods for interacting with multiple applications that are simultaneously displayed on an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display

An electronic device presents a user interface including an output property that represents a first type of output. The device detects a first input associated with modifying the first type of output via a first behavior model, and changes the output property over time based on the first behavior model and updates the user interface based on the changes in the output property. While updating the user interface, the device detects a change to the user input; and changes the output property over time based on a second behavior model based on: a value of the output property determined based on the first behavior model; and a first derivative of the value of the output property with respect to time determined based on the first behavior model. The device updates the user interface based on the changes in the output property that occur based on the second behavior model.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for seamless transition of user interface behaviors

An electronic device detects a first swipe gesture in a respective direction from a first edge of the touch-sensitive display. In response to detecting the first swipe gesture from the first edge of the touch-sensitive display: in accordance with a determination that a respective portion of the first swipe gesture occurs at a first portion of the first edge of the touch-sensitive display, the device displays a plurality of controls for adjusting settings of the touch-sensitive display; and in accordance with a determination that the respective portion of the first swipe gesture occurs at a second portion of the first edge of the touch-sensitive display, the device displays a plurality of recently received notifications.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for navigating between user interfaces and interacting with control objects

While concurrently displaying representations of a plurality of recently used applications, including a first application representation that corresponds to a first application and a second application representation that corresponds to a second application, at least a first portion of a first user input, including first movement of an input object, is detected. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a first direction that meets first criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and an application launching user interface is displayed. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a second direction that meets second criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and a first user interface of the first application is displayed in an enhanced-reachability mode and shifted in a predefined direction at least partially off of the display.

An electronic device displays a system user interface element that indicates a location for performing a gesture that triggers a system operation, a first application having a first set of behaviors associated with the element, and a second application having a different, second set of behaviors associated with the element. The first and second applications are both displayed along an edge of the display; the element overlaps the first application without overlapping the second application; and an appearance of the element is determined based on the first set of behaviors. The device detects an input corresponding to a request to resize the second application; and, in response, resizes the second application in accordance with the input and, if the element overlaps the second application without overlapping the first application, changes the appearance of the element to an appearance based on the second set of behaviors associated with the element.

A method for multitasking include displaying a dock containing application icons corresponding to different application concurrently with a first user interface of a first application; detecting a first input directed to an application icon corresponding to a second application in the dock; in accordance with a determination that the second application is associated with multiple windows, displaying a first representation of a first window for the second application and a second representation of a second window for the second application concurrently with the first user interface of the first application in a second region of the display area; and in accordance with a determination that the second application is associated with only a single window, displaying a second user interface of the second application concurrently with the first user interface of the first application.
