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 for an application;

    detecting an edge input that includes detecting a change in a characteristic intensity of a contact proximate to an edge of the touch-sensitive surface; 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 relative to the touch-sensitive surface; and

    the first region relative to the touch-sensitive surface is determined based on one or more characteristics of the contact.
