Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to managing user interface sharing. A computer system receives a representation of a first user interface template that specifies an arrangement of user interface elements. The computer system receiving a request to use the first user interface template for a respective computer system that includes a plurality of installed applications. The computer system initiates a process for creating a user interface for the respective computer system using the first user interface template. The process includes, in accordance with a determination that a first application is not available on the respective computer system, displaying an alert indicating that the first application needs to be installed on the respective computer system. The process includes, in accordance with a determination that the first application is available on the respective computer system, forgoing displaying the alert.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
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 a request to display a user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for a respective computer system;
in response to receiving the request to display the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system:
in accordance with a determination that the request is associated with two or more watch faces, displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system, including displaying:
a first graphical representation of a first watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request; and
a second graphical representation of a second watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request; and

in accordance with a determination that the request is associated with a single watch face, displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system, including displaying a third graphical representation of a third watch face associated with the request, without displaying another graphical representation of another watch face;

while displaying the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system, receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input; and
in response to receiving the input:
in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to selection of the first watch face, initiating a process for adding the first watch face to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system; and
in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to selection of the second watch face, initiating a process for adding the second watch face to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein receiving the request to display the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for a respective computer system includes receiving, via the one or more input devices, a QR code including information associated with one or more watch faces.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein receiving the request to display the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for a respective computer system includes receiving, via the one or more input devices, NFC information including information associated with one or more watch faces.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein receiving the request to display the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for a respective computer system includes receiving, via the one or more input devices, information associated with one or more watch faces from packaging of an accessory of the respective computer system.

5. The computer system of claim 4 , wherein one or more of the first graphical representation of the first watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request or the second graphical representation of the second watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request includes a visual indication of an appearance of the accessory for the respective computer system.

6. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first graphical representation of the first watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request or the second graphical representation of the second watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request includes a characteristic graphical representation of a housing of the respective computer system.

7. The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system:
displaying, via the display generation component, the first graphical representation at a first position and the second graphical representation at a second position different from the first position; and
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second input; and

in response to receiving the second input, displaying, via the display generation component, the first graphical representation at a third position and the second graphical representation at the first position.

8. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein:
displaying, via the display generation component, the first graphical representation at the first position and the second graphical representation at the second position different from the first position includes displaying, via the display generation component, a user-selectable graphical user interface object at a fourth position; and
displaying, via the display generation component, the first graphical object at the third position and the second graphical representation at the first position includes displaying, via the display generation component, the user-selectable graphical user interface object at the fourth position.

9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein:
the input corresponds to selection of the user-selectable graphical user interface object;
the determination that the input corresponds to selection of the first watch face includes a determination that the input is received while the first graphical representation is at the first position; and
the determination that the input corresponds to selection of the second watch face includes a determination that the input is received while the second graphical representation is at the first position.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a request to display a user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for a respective computer system;
in response to receiving the request to display the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system:
in accordance with a determination that the request is associated with two or more watch faces, displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system, including displaying:
a first graphical representation of a first watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request; and
a second graphical representation of a second watch face of the two or more watch faces associated with the request; and

in accordance with a determination that the request is associated with a single watch face, displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface for selecting one or more watch faces to add to a library of watch faces for the respective computer system, including displaying a third graphical representation of a third watch face associated with the request, without displaying another graphical representation of another watch face;

while displaying the user interface fo
