Abstract
A method in a portable electronic device for providing a user with an improved user interface is described. The electronic device includes one or more processors and memory including instructions which when executed by the one or more processors cause the electronic device to perform the method. While content in a user interface of a first application is displayed, a first user input is detected. In response to the first user input, at least a preview for a second application is displayed. In some instances, the second application is selected automatically at least partly in dependence on the content displayed in the user interface of the first application.
