The present disclosure relates to electronic devices and techniques for providing live communication sessions involving multiple participants. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a live video communication user interface of a live video communication application that includes representations of participants of a live video communication session.

Multi-participant live communication user interface

A device implementing a system to render widget user interfaces for display of dynamic application content on a home screen includes a processor configured to identify a container associated with a first home screen, the container corresponding to an application. The processor is further configured to retrieve data describing a plurality of user interfaces, associated with respective times, of the application. The processor is further configured to render, based on the data, the plurality of the user interfaces in advance of the respective times. The processor is further configured to determine that the first home screen is currently displayed. The processor is further configured to select a first rendered user interface from the rendered user interfaces, wherein the respective time associated with the first rendered user interface corresponds to a current time. The processor is further configured to display the selected first rendered user interface on the first home screen.

Dynamic application content on home screen

An example method includes, at a first electronic device that includes a display, displaying, on the display, a user interface that is associated with an application, the user interface displayed with a control user interface element for changing a display property of the user interface. The method includes, detecting an input directed to the control user interface element. The method also includes that in response to detecting the input, and while continuing to display the user interface, concurrently displaying on the display: a first selectable option for changing the display property of the user interface on the display of the first electronic device, and a second selectable option for requesting display at a second electronic device, distinct from the first electronic device, of a user interface that includes content from the user interface.

Systems and methods for initiating and interacting with a companion-display mode for an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display

Providing a bridge interface for managing virtual workspaces is disclosed. A plurality of workspace images is presented in a user interface, each workspace image corresponding to a different virtual workspace available to a user of a computer system. A user can generate new virtual workspaces using an appropriate user input, such as by selecting a user interface object for generating new virtual workspaces. In some implementations, a new thumbnail image representing the new virtual workspace can be automatically created after the user opts for creation of the new workspace.

Updating display of workspaces in a user interface for managing workspaces in response to user input

Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces that use applications windows. Because a user may use one or more instances of a particular application or multiple applications at once, application windows are useful tools for organizing items stored in electronic devices and using features provided by various applications. A user may need to manipulate, organize, configure and/or resize application windows. Some methods for manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows require a sequence of user inputs that navigate in a menu system. For example, with these methods, a user may need to select a user interface object in display a menu and/or perform one or more actions on the selected user interface object associated with one or more application windows. The various methods disclosed herein streamline manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows.

Device, method, and graphical user interface for manipulating application windows of virtual desktops

Generating for display an indicator of hidden objects in response to user input is disclosed. An input for moving a pointer presented in a user interface toward a first virtual boundary is received. The movement of the pointer toward the first virtual boundary is generated for display. An action is triggered in response to receiving input for movement of the pointer across the first virtual boundary after the pointer crosses the first virtual boundary. An object is generated for display in the user interface in response to receiving input for movement of the pointer across a second virtual boundary.

Presenting visual indicators of hidden objects

An electronic device is disclosed. The device can display a live video communication user interface of a live video communication application that includes participant affordances corresponding to participants. In response to detecting an input that corresponds to a request to initiate a process of starting a new live communication session, the device can: in accordance with the input corresponding to selection of the first participant affordance, initiate a process of starting a new live communication session that includes a group of three or more participants; and in accordance with the input corresponding to selection of the new session affordance, initiate a process for selecting two or more participants and start a new live communication session that includes a participant associated with the device and the selected participants.

Selection of visualization objects, such as applications windows, is performed by determining a position of a system object. A graphical representation of a system object can be positioned over a display area of an application interface. The application interface is preeminently displayed in response to a graphical representation of system object being positioned over a corresponding display area of the application interface.

User interface for application interface manipulation

Disclosed herein are systems and methods that allow activation of, and intuitive interactions with, a companion-display mode for an electronic device. An example method includes: receiving an instruction to operate the first electronic device in a companion-display mode in which user interfaces generated by a second electronic device are displayed at the first electronic device. In response to receiving the instruction to operate in the companion-display mode, the method also includes: concurrently displaying, on the touch-sensitive display of the first electronic device: a user interface generated by the second electronic device; and a plurality of user interface objects, including a first user interface object associated with a first function of a plurality of functions for controlling the touch-sensitive display of the first electronic device while it is operating in the companion-display mode, and a second user interface object associated with a second function of the plurality of functions.

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.

Device, method, and graphical user interface for window manipulation and management

Methods, systems, devices, and apparatus, including computer program products, for adjusting a graphical user interface. A motion of a device is detected. A graphical user interface of the device is adjusted in response to the detected motion.

Variable device graphical user interface

Methods and apparatuses for controlling application programs are described. A first item and a docking interface having a second item are displayed on a screen space. A selection of the first item is received. A proxy of the first item is positioned over the second item. Next, a window is displayed in response positioning. An application is executing to display the window. In another embodiment, synchronizing a first docking interface on a first screen space of a first machine to a second docking interface on a second screen space of a second machine is performed. The first docking interface has an item that identifies a first application supported by the first machine and the second docking interface has another item that identifies a second application supported by the second machine.
