1. A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface;
displaying, on the display, a user interface;
while displaying the user interface, detecting an input on the touch-sensitive surface; and
,in response to detecting the input while displaying the user interface, and while the input is continuously detected on the touch-sensitive surface;
in accordance with a determination that the input satisfies an activation intensity threshold, performing a first operation, wherein;
the activation intensity threshold includes a first intensity threshold component that decreases from a first intensity value over time, wherein the decrease in the first intensity threshold component changes gradually over time based on an amount of time that the input has been continuously detected on the touch-sensitive surface;
wherein the activation intensity threshold includes a second intensity threshold component that follows intensity of the input with a delay, the second intensity threshold component being concurrent with but distinct from the first intensity threshold component.

Abstract
An electronic device displays, on a display, a user interface. While displaying the user interface, the device detects an input on the touch-sensitive surface; and, in response to detecting the input while displaying the first user interface, and while detecting the input, in accordance with a determination that the input satisfies an activation intensity threshold, performs a first operation. The activation intensity threshold includes a first intensity threshold component that decreases from a first intensity value over time.
