1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, cause the electronic device to:

  • display a first application in a full-screen mode on the touch-sensitive display;

    receive a first input on the touch-sensitive display;

    in response to receiving the first input, display an application selector on the touch-sensitive display, wherein the displayed application selector overlays at least a portion of the displayed first application;

    while displaying the application selector on the touch-sensitive display;

    display a first set of affordances within the application selector;

    detect a gesture substantially within the application selector; and

    in response to detecting the gesture;

    determine whether the application selector is associated with additional affordances not contained within the first set of affordances;

    in accordance with a determination that the application selector is associated with additional affordances, display one or more of the additional affordances;

    in accordance with a determination that the application selector is not associated with additional affordances, continue to display the first set of affordances;

    detect a second input at an affordance displayed within the application selector;

    in response to detecting the second input at the affordance;

    cease to display the application selector; and

    display a second application corresponding to the selected affordance in an area of the touch-sensitive display previously occupied by the application selector.
