Abstract

A device displays a first selectable user interface (UI) element associated with a first touch activation region. The device detects a change of movement of the display. In response to the change of movement, the device adjusts the first touch activation region to encompass a new area. The new area is at least partially different from the first touch activation region prior to the change of movement and is based on the change of the movement. After detecting the change of movement, the device detects a touch input. In accordance with a determination that the touch input is detected within the adjusted first touch activation region, the device performs a user interface operation associated with the first selectable UI element. In accordance with a determination that the touch input is detected outside the adjusted first touch activation region, the device forgoes performance of the user interface operation.
