1. An electronic device, comprising:

  • a touch-sensitive display;

    one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive display;

    one or more processors;

    memory; and

    one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for;

    displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a user interface for an application;

    detecting an edge input that includes detecting a change in a characteristic intensity of a contact at an edge of the touch-sensitive display; and

    ,in response to detecting the edge input;

    in accordance with a determination that the edge input meets system-gesture criteria, performing an operation that is independent of the application, wherein;

    the system-gesture criteria include intensity criteria;

    the system-gesture criteria include a location criterion that is met when the intensity criteria for the contact are met while the contact is within a first region on the touch-sensitive display; and

    in accordance with a determination that the edge input meets application-gesture criteria and does not meet the system-gesture criteria, performing an operation in the application instead of performing the operation that is independent of the application;

    displaying on the touch-sensitive display an application-specific icon associated with a particular application via a home screen, the home screen for choosing among a plurality of applications;

    when a first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the application-specific icon and a subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the application-specific icon are detected;

    launching the particular application;

    when a second duration of touch, that is greater than the first duration, being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the application-specific icon is detected;

    outputting feedback that is perceptible to touch utilizing an actuator and cause display of at least one option on the touch-sensitive display; and

    when a touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the at least one option is detected, performing at least one action corresponding to the at least one option;

    wherein the electronic device is configured such that at least a portion of the home screen is blurred in relation to the detection of the second duration of touch;

    wherein the electronic device is configured such that at least one of;

    the particular application includes a navigation application;

    the application-specific icon includes a navigation application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the navigation application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the navigation application icon are detected, the navigation application is launched; and

    when the second duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the navigation application icon is detected, the displayed at least one option includes an option for access to navigation information utilizing the navigation application;

    the particular application includes a browser application;

    the application-specific icon includes a browser application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the browser application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the browser application icon are detected, the browser application is launched; and

    when the second duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the browser application icon is detected, the displayed at least one option includes an option for access to bookmarks utilizing the browser application;

    the particular application includes a media application;

    the application-specific icon includes a media application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the media application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the media application icon are detected, the media application is launched; and

    when the second duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the media application icon is detected, the displayed at least one option includes an option for selecting at least one track to be played utilizing the media application;

    the particular application includes a communication application;

    the application-specific icon includes a communication application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the communication application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the communication application icon are detected, the communication application is launched; and

    when the second duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the communication application icon is detected, the displayed at least one option includes an option for access to one or more communication techniques for a contact;

    the particular application includes a calendar application;

    the application-specific icon includes a calendar application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the calendar application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the calendar application icon are detected, the calendar application is launched; and

    when the second duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the calendar application icon is detected, the displayed at least one option includes an option for creating an appointment utilizing the calendar application;

    the particular application includes a camera application;

    the application-specific icon includes a camera application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the camera application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the camera application icon are detected, the camera application is launched; and

    when the second duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the camera application icon is detected, the displayed at least one option includes an option for setting a camera setting;

    orthe particular application includes a phone application;

    the application-specific icon includes a phone application icon;

    when the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the phone application icon and the subsequent cessation of the first duration of touch being applied to the touch-sensitive display on the phone application icon are detected, the phone application is launched; and
