Abstract

An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface of an application. The device detects a first portion of an input including a contact on the touch-sensitive surface, and then detects a second portion of the input including movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface. The device displays, during the movement, application views including an application view that corresponds to the user interface of the application and another application view that corresponds to a different user interface of a different application. The device then detects a third portion of the input, including a liftoff of the contact from the touch-sensitive surface. In response, the device, upon determining that application-switcher-display criteria are met, displays an application-switcher user interface, and upon determining that home-display criteria are met, the device displays a home screen user interface that includes application launch icons.

at a third point in time, the first contact completes a third portion of the first movement that reverses the second portion of the first movement;

in accordance with the first portion of the first movement, the application-switcher-display criteria would be met if lift-off of the first contact is detected at the first point in time;

in accordance with the first portion and the second portion of the first movement, the home-display criteria would be met if lift-off of the first contact is detected at the second point in time; and

in accordance with the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion of the first movement, the application-switcher-display criteria would be met if lift-off of the first contact is detected at the third point in time.

50. The electronic device of claim 30, wherein:

the display includes a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion that is separated by a predefined cutout area that does not display content, and

the instructions for displaying the first user interface include instructions for;

displaying a first portion of the first user interface in the first protruding portion of the display,

displaying a second portion of the first user interface in the second protruding portion of the display, and

forgoing display of a third portion of the first user interface that is between the first portion of the first user interface and the second user interface; and

the instructions for displaying the plurality of application views including the first application view include instructions for;

displaying an image of the first user interface as the first application view, wherein the third portion of the first user interface is included in the image between the first and second portions of the first user interface.

51. The electronic device of claim 30, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

displaying system information within at least one of the first and second protruding portions, wherein the system information is overlaid on at least one of the first portion of the first user interface or the second portion of the first user interface.

52. The electronic device of claim 51, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

displaying additional system information concurrently with the plurality of application views, wherein the additional system information was not displayed concurrently with the first user interface before the plurality of application views are displayed.

53. The electronic device of claim 30 wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

detecting an application-switching request to switching from a currently displayed application to a respective application that is not currently displayed; and

in response to detecting the application-switching request;

displaying a user interface of the respective application; and

in accordance with a determination that gesture-prompt-display criteria are met, displaying a first visual prompt regarding a gesture that meets either one of the application-switcher-display criteria and the home-display criteria; and

in accordance with a determination that the gesture-prompt-display criteria are not met, forgoing display of the first visual prompt.

54. The electronic device of claim 53, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

incrementing a counter each time that the first visual prompt is displayed, wherein the gesture-prompt-display criteria require that a current value of the counter does not exceed a predefined threshold value in order for the gesture-prompt-display criteria to be met.

55. The electronic device of claim 53, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

displaying the first visual prompt include instructions that cause the device to display a home affordance with a first appearance; and

forgoing display of the first visual prompt include instructions that cause the device to display the home affordance with a second appearance that is different from the first appearance.

56. The electronic device of claim 53, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

disabling at least a subset of functionalities of the respective application while displaying the first visual prompt.

57. The electronic device of claim 56, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:

in accordance a determination that prompt-removal criteria are met, wherein the prompt-removal criteria include a criterion that is met when a threshold amount of time has elapsed since initial display of the first visual prompt;
