Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing audio alerts with electronic devices. An audio alert may be provided, in part, using power management operations that manage one or more both of the instantaneous power usage for providing the audio alert, and the long-term power usage for providing the audio alert.

Power management for audio alerts for electronic devices

The present disclosure generally relates to providing auditory features. An example method includes, at a computer system in communication with one or more input devices: while playing an audio media item of a first type, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to play an audio media item of a second type; in accordance with a determination that a set of concurrent audio criteria is satisfied, concurrently playing: the audio media item of the first type; and the audio media item of the second type; and in accordance with a determination that the set of concurrent audio criteria is not satisfied: ceasing to play the audio media item of the first type; and playing the audio media item of the second type.

Methods and user interfaces for auditory features

The present disclosure generally relates to personalized spatial audio profiles and providing personalized spatial audio.

Providing personalized audio

A computer system outputs audio content via one or more audio output devices. If the audio content includes information that enables spatialization of the audio content, the system outputs the audio content in a simulated three-dimensional environment, including, if the audio content corresponds to a first category of content, causing the one or more audio output devices to simulate production of the audio content in a first virtual space, and if the audio content corresponds to a second category of content, causing the one or more audio output devices to simulate production of the audio content in a second virtual space that has different simulated acoustic properties than simulated acoustic properties of the first virtual space.

Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for using spatialized audio during communication sessions

A computer system displays a first view of a three-dimensional environment, including a first user interface object, that when activated by a user input meeting first criteria, causes performance of a first operation. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects first movement of a hand in a physical environment, and in response, changes an appearance of the first user interface object in the first view based on the first movement, including: in accordance with a determination that the first movement meets the first criteria requiring the hand move in a first manner, performing and indicating performance of the first operation; and in accordance with a determination that the first movement does not meet the first criteria, moving the first user interface object away from a position in the three-dimensional environment corresponding to a location of the hand in the physical environment without performing the first operation.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for interacting with three-dimensional environments

A computer system causes output of audio information from a first application to a set of one or more audio output devices in accordance with a first audio output mode previously selected for the first application using a system audio output setting control. After, the computer system receives a request to play audio from a second application different from the first application. In response, the computer system causes output of audio information from the second application to the set of one or more audio output devices, including, in accordance with a determination that a second audio output mode, different from the first audio output mode, was previously selected for the second application using the system audio output setting control, causing output of the audio information from the second application via the set of one or more audio output devices in accordance with the second audio output mode.

Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for selecting audio output modes of wearable audio output devices

The present disclosure generally relates to providing time feedback on an electronic device, and in particular to providing non-visual time feedback on the electronic device. Techniques for providing non-visual time feedback include detecting an input and, in response to detecting the input, initiating output of a first type of non-visual indication of a current time or a second type of non-visual indication of the current time based on the set of non-visual time output criteria met by the input. Techniques for providing non-visual time feedback also include, in response to detecting that a current time has reached a first predetermined time of a set of one or more predetermined times, outputting a first non-visual alert or a second non-visual alert based on a type of watch face that the electronic device is configured to display.

User interfaces for non-visual output of time

An electronic device displays a user interface for controlling an audio mode for a wearable audio output device. While displaying the user interface, the device electronic outputs first audio using a first audio mode while displaying in the user interface a first indication that the first audio mode is used for the first audio. While displaying the user interface and outputting the first audio using the audio mode, the electronic device receives a request to switch to using a second audio mode. In response, the device outputs second audio using the second audio mode while displaying a second indication that the second audio mode is used for the second audio. While outputting the second audio using the second audio mode and displaying the second indication, the electronic device detects an input, and, in response, selects one of the first audio mode or the second audio mode the active audio mode.
