Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing exposure notifications. In some embodiments, after enabling exposure notifications, an exposure notification is received; upon interacting with the notification: if an associated application is installed, a user interface of that application is displayed; if the associated application is not installed, a user interface object associated with a process to install the application is displayed. In some embodiments, an exposure notification management interface is displayed that includes a plurality of entities that have been authorized to provide notifications, along with a user interface object to disable transmission of data to those entities and to disable notifications from those entities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer system that is configured to communicate with a display generation component and one or more input devices, the computer system comprising: 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: after completion of a process in which one or more notifications are enabled for display, displaying, via the display generation component, a first notification, wherein the first notification is related to personal health; receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input directed to the first notification; in response to receiving the input directed to the first notification: in accordance with a determination that a first application associated with the first notification is configured to execute on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface of the first application; and in accordance with a determination that the first application associated with the first notification is not configured to execute on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface object associated with a process for configuring the first application for executing on the computer system; receiving, via the one or more input devices, a series of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to report an occurrence of an event, wherein the event is related to personal health; and in response to receiving the series of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to report the occurrence of the event: in accordance with a determination that the first application is configured to execute on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface of the first application for reporting the occurrence of the event; and in accordance with a determination that the first application is not configured to execute on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, a second user interface object associated with a process for configuring the first application for executing on the computer system. 2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein: displaying the first notification includes displaying the first notification in response to a determination that a first set of criteria is met, and the first set of criteria is determined by a provider of the application. 3. The computer system of claim 1 : wherein displaying the first notification includes displaying the first notification in response to a determination that a second set of criteria is met; and wherein: in accordance with the first application being a first respective application, the second set of criteria is a first respective set of criteria; and in accordance with the first application being a second respective application, different from the first respective application, the second set of criteria is a second respective set of criteria, different from the first respective set of criteria. 4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first application is associated with a first entity, the one or more programs further including instructions for: displaying, via the display generation component, a setup notification for a second application associated with a second entity different from the first entity, wherein the second application is different from the first application. 5. The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the setup notification for the second application associated with the second entity is displayed in response to a determination that a current location associated with the computer system corresponds to a location associated with the second entity and/or the second application. 6. The computer system of claim 4 , wherein: a current location associated with the computer system corresponds to a location associated with the second entity; and the setup notification for the second application associated with the second entity is displayed in response to a determination that the second application is available to be configured to execute at the computer system. 7. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the process in which one or more notifications are enabled for display includes enabling the computer system to transmit data to a third entity to enable display of the one or more notifications. 8. The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: after completion of the process in which one or more notifications are enabled for display, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to pause display of the one or more notifications; in response to receiving the request to pause display of the one or more notifications, temporarily disabling display of the one or more notifications for a predetermined amount of time; and after expiration of the predetermined amount of time, re-enabling display of the one or more notifications. 9. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first application is determined based on a current location associated with the computer system. 10. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the first notification includes: in accordance with the first application associated with the first notification being configured to execute on the computer system, displaying the first notification having one or more graphical objects representative of an entity associated with the first application; and in accordance with the first application associated with the first notification not being configured to execute on the computer system, displaying the first notification having the one or more graphical objects representative of the entity associated with the first application. 11. The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: after displaying the user interface of the first application for reporting the occurrence of the event, receiving a second series of one or more inputs, wherein the second series of one or more inputs includes one or more inputs corresponding to a verification code; and in response to receiving the second series of one or more inputs, reporting the occurrence of the event via the first application. 12. The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second series of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to report an occurrence of an event; and subsequent to receiving the second series of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to report the occurrence of the event: in accordance with a determination that a location history of a user of the computer system satisfies a third set of criteria, displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface object associated with a process for reporting the occurrence of the event to a plurality of entities associated with the location history. 13. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein: the process in which one or more notifications are enabled for display includes enabling display of notifications associated with: a fourth entity that corresponds to a first geographic area and a first set of notification criteria; and a fifth entity that corresponds to a second geographic area, different from the first geographic area, and a second set of notification criteria, different than the first set of notification criteria; and the one or more programs further including instructions for: in accordance with a determination that a current location of the computer system corresponds to the first geogr
