Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing peer-to-peer transfers. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for initiating and managing transfers. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces corresponding to completed transfers. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for providing visually distinguishable message object appearances based on message designation. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for activating accounts for accepting and sending transfers. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for exchanging accounts for use in a transfer. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for splitting transfers between two or more accounts. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for generating and displaying a transfers history list. In some examples, a device provides user interfaces for voice-activation of transfers. In some examples, a device provides visual or haptic feedback corresponding to a transfer operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
one or more input devices;
a wireless communication radio;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving, via the wireless communication radio, one or more messages;
displaying, on the display, a user interface for a messaging application that includes at least one of the one or more messages in a message conversation between a plurality of conversation participants;
while concurrently displaying, on the display, at least one of the one or more messages in the message conversation, receiving, from one of the participants, a respective message;
in response to receiving the respective message, in accordance with a determination, based on an analysis of text in the respective message, that the respective message relates to a transfer of a first type of item that the messaging application is configured to transfer, concurrently displaying, on the display, a representation of the message and a selectable indication that corresponds to the first type of item, wherein the selectable indication is a portion of the text in the respective message that relates to the first type of item that is visually emphasized in relation to other text in the respective message;
while the representation of the message and the selectable indication that corresponds to the first type of item are concurrently displayed on the display, detecting, via the one or more input devices, user activation of the selectable indication; and
in response to detecting the user activation of the selectable indication, displaying, on the display, a transfer user interface for initiating transfer of the first type of item between participants in the message conversation.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the text in the respective message includes a first quantity of content of the first type of item, and wherein the transfer user interface includes an indication of the first quantity of the content of the first type of item.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the message conversation involves two or more participants, other than a user of the device;
the text in the respective message includes a first quantity of content of the first type of item; and
the transfer user interface includes an indication of a second quantity of content of the first type of item, wherein the second quantity is a numerical value divided among the two or more participants based on the first quantity.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
further in response to receiving the respective message, in accordance with a determination, based on the analysis of text in the respective message, that the respective message does not relate to a transfer of the first type of item, displaying, on the display, a representation of the respective message without displaying the selectable indication that corresponds to the first type of item.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in accordance with the determination, based on the analysis of the text in the respective message, that the respective message relates to the transfer of the first type of item that the messaging application is configured to transfer, displaying, on the display, a transfer affordance;
detecting user activation of the transfer affordance; and
in response to detecting the user activation of the transfer affordance, displaying, on the display, the transfer user interface for initiating transfer of the first type of item to a participant in the message conversation.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the transfer user interface, receiving user input; and
in response to receiving the user input, displaying, on the display, a keypad user interface, wherein the keypad user interface includes one or more suggested numerical values for a quantity of the first type of item to transfer.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the transfer user interface includes a transfer mode affordance, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting a first activation of the transfer mode affordance;
in response to detecting the first activation of the transfer mode affordance, designating the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item as corresponding to a transmission of the first type of item;
detecting a second activation of the transfer mode affordance; and
in response to detecting the second activation of the transfer mode affordance, designating the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item as corresponding to a request for the first type of item.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the transfer user interface includes a send affordance, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting user activation of the send affordance; and
in response to detecting the user activation of the send affordance, displaying, on the display, a graphical representation of a message associated with the transfer of the first type of item in the message conversation, wherein the graphical representation of the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item includes an indication of a quantity of content of the first type of item being transferred.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein:
in accordance with a determination that a message prepared to be sent corresponds to the first type of item, the send affordance is displayed with a first visual characteristic; and
in accordance with a determination that the message prepared to be sent corresponds to a second type of item different from the first type of item, the send affordance is displayed with a second visual characteristic different from the first visual characteristic.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the graphical representation of the message associated with transfer of the first type of item is displayed with a third visual characteristic in the message conversation, and a representation of a message in the message conversation not associated with transfer of the first type of item is displayed with a fourth visual characteristic that is different from the third visual characteristic.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the user activation of the send affordance and prior to displaying, on the display, the graphical representation of the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item in the message conversation, in accordance with a determination that the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item corresponds to a transmission of the first type of item, displaying, on the display, an authentication user interface requesting authentication information;
receiving, via the one or more input devices, the authentication information, and:
in accordance with a determination that the received authentication information corresponds to enrolled authentication information for authorizing transfers, displaying, on the display, the graphical representation of the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item in the message conversation; and
in accordance with a determination that the received authentication information does not correspond to the enrolled authentication information for authorizing transfers, forgoing displaying, on the display, the graphical re
