Abstract

An electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface displays a first user interface of a first software application, detects an input on the touch-sensitive surface while displaying the first user interface, and, in response to detecting the input while displaying the first user interface, performs a first operation in accordance with a determination that the input satisfies intensity input criteria including that the input satisfies a first intensity threshold and the input remains on the touch-sensitive surface for a first predefined time period, and performs a second operation in accordance with a determination that the input satisfies tap criteria including that the input ceases to remain on the touch-sensitive surface during the first predefined time period.
