A content access control system of a device determines whether the device is in possession of an owner of the device or another (secondary or non-owner) user and controls access to media content stored on the device based on the determination. The person in possession of the device at any given time is typically the person holding the device in his or her hand(s). If the device is in possession of the device owner, the system allows all media content on the device to be accessed. If the device is in possession of a secondary user, the system restricts access to media content on the device, such as by displaying only media content that has been captured within a threshold amount of time (e.g., the past hour) and that includes both the owner and the secondary user. Other restrictions can also be applied, such as disabling presentation of notifications.

Controlling non-owner access to media content on a computing device

A method in an electronic device includes receiving, with an audio capture device such as a microphone, a request for navigational information. One or more processors of the electronic device then identify a transit mode. The one or more processors also detect, with one or more sensors, one or more contextual cues from an environment about the electronic device. The contextual cues can include a geo-location, transit mode, bearing, or other factors. The one or more processors then provide a navigation information response that is a function of the transit mode and the one or more contextual cues to a user interface of the electronic device.
