Abstract

A computer system displays a plurality of notifications. When the computer system has a first notification mode enabled, the computer system displays a representation of the plurality of notifications in a first configuration in a first region. When the computer system has a second notification mode enabled, the computer system displays the representation in a second configuration in a second region smaller than the first region. The computer system detects a first user input on the representation, and in response, if the first user input meets first criteria and the representation is displayed with the first configuration, the computer system scrolls notifications in the first region in accordance with the first user input. If the first user input meets the first criteria and the representation is displayed with the second configuration, the computer system scrolls the notifications in the in a third region, in accordance with the first user input.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method, comprising:
at a computer system with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface that includes a plurality of notifications corresponding to two or more applications, including:
in accordance with a determination that the computer system has a first mode for displaying notifications enabled, displaying a representation of the plurality of notifications in a first configuration in a first region of the first user interface; and
in accordance with a determination that the computer system has a second mode for displaying notifications enabled, displaying the representation of the plurality of notifications in a second configuration in a second region of the first user interface that is smaller than the first region of the first user interface, wherein the first mode and the second mode comprise different notification modes;

while displaying the first user interface, detecting a first user input at a respective location on the first user interface corresponding to the representation of the plurality of notifications; and
in response to detecting the first user input, and while continuing to detect the first user input, scrolling notifications in the plurality of notifications in a third region of the first user interface, in accordance with the first user input, wherein scrolling notifications comprises displaying a previously hidden notification and hiding a previously displayed notification, and wherein the third region is larger than the second region;
after scrolling the notifications in the plurality of notifications, detecting an occurrence of a first event corresponding to one or more of: the computer system transitioning to a low power state, the computer system transitioning from the low power state, the computer system transitioning to a sleep state, the computer system transitioning from the sleep state, or a timeout without user input; and
in response to detecting the occurrence of the first event, displaying the first user interface, including:
in accordance with a determination that the computer system has the first mode for displaying notifications enabled, displaying the representation of notifications in the first configuration in the first region in the first user interface; and
in accordance with a determination that the computer system has the second mode for displaying notifications enabled, displaying the representation of notifications in the second configuration in the second region in the first user interface;

while displaying the first user interface, detecting a second user input; and
in response to detecting the second user input, and while continuing to detect the second user input:
in accordance with a determination that the second user input includes a first movement in a first direction, scrolling notifications in the plurality of notifications in the third region of the first user interface, in accordance with the second user input; and
in accordance with a determination that the second user input is directed to the representation of the plurality of notifications displayed in the first configuration in the first region of the first user interface, and that the second user input includes a second movement in a second direction different from the first direction, ceasing to display the representation of the plurality of notifications in the first configuration in the first region of the first user interface, and displaying the representation of the plurality of notifications in the second configuration in the second region of the first user interface.

2 . The method of claim 1 , including:
after scrolling the notifications in the plurality of notifications and before detecting the occurrence of the first event, ceasing to display the first user interface.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first user interface includes a first portion of a background image; the second region of the first user interface does not overlay the first portion of the background image; and the method includes:
in accordance with a determination that the first user input meets first criteria and in accordance with a determination that the representation of the plurality of notifications is displayed with the second configuration, scrolling the notifications in the plurality of notifications in the third region of the first user interface, in accordance with the first user input, and without overlaying the first portion of the background image.

4 . The method of claim 1 , including:
in accordance with a determination that the representation of the plurality of notifications is displayed in the first configuration, displaying text of a respective notification of the plurality of notifications with a first text size; and in accordance with a determination that the representation of the plurality of notifications is displayed in the second configuration, displaying the text of the respective notification of the plurality of notifications with a second text size that is different from the first text size.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
a respective notification of the plurality of notifications includes a first image; and the method includes:
in accordance with a determination that the representation of the plurality of notifications is displayed in the first configuration, displaying the first image of the respective notification with a first image size; and
in accordance with a determination that the representation of the plurality of notifications is displayed in the second configuration, displaying the first image of the respective notification with a second image size different from the first image size.

6 . The method of claim 1 , including:
while the representation of the plurality of notifications is displayed in the second configuration, detecting a user input that meets second criteria; and in response to detecting the user input that meets the second criteria, expanding the representation of the plurality of notifications.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
displaying the representation of the plurality of notifications in the second configuration includes displaying the representation of the plurality of notifications as a stack of notifications; a first notification of the plurality of notifications is displayed at a top of the stack of notifications, and partially overlays other notifications of the plurality of notifications in the stack of notifications; and a first portion of a second notification of the plurality of notifications, different from the first notification, is visible in the stack of notifications.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:
the second notification of the plurality of notifications is displayed at a bottom of the stack of notifications; and the first portion of the second notification of the plurality of notifications includes a count of notifications in the stack of notifications.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:
the second notification of the plurality of notifications is displayed at a bottom of the stack of notifications; and the first portion of the second notification of the plurality of notifications includes visual representations of respective applications corresponding to respective notifications in the stack of notifications.

10 . The method of claim 1 , including:
in accordance with a determination that the computer system has the second mode for displaying notifications enabled, displaying a visual representation of the second mode for displaying notifications.

11 . The method of claim 1 , including:
displaying the representation o
