Abstract

Described herein are devices, methods and computer readable media that allow a device with a touch-screen to respond to different pressure inputs. For example, while the device displays a plurality of media controls on the touch screen, it detects a gesture at a location corresponding to a respective medial control. In accordance with a determination that the gesture meets first pressure criteria, the device performs a first media operation associated with the respective media control; and in accordance with a determination that the gesture meets second pressure criteria different from the first pressure criteria, the device performs a second media operation associated with a second media control that is different from the first media operation.
