detect a second input at a second location that corresponds to a second key of the content input area, wherein the second input is detected at a second time that is later than the first time; and

in response to detecting the second input, output a tactile output, with the one or more tactile output generators, wherein a tactile output profile of the tactile output triggered by the second input varies based on a length of time between the first time and the second time.

57. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 41, wherein the electronic device includes one or more audio output generators.

58. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 57, wherein:

the user interface includes a content input area that includes a plurality of keys that are distinct from the content deletion control; and

the one or more programs further include instructions, which, when executed by the electronic device, cause the device to;

detect a first input at a first location that corresponds to a first key of the content input area, wherein the first input is detected at a first time;

detect a second input at a second location that corresponds to a second key of the content input area, wherein the second input is detected at a second time that is later than the first time; and

in response to detecting the second input, output an audio output, with the one or more audio output generators, wherein an audio output profile of the audio output triggered by the second input varies based on a length of time between the first time and the second time.

59. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 57, wherein:

the user interface includes a content input area that includes a plurality of keys that are distinct from the content deletion control; and

the one or more programs further include instructions, which, when executed by the electronic device, cause the device to;

in response to detecting the deletion input, output a first audio output that has a first audio output profile;

detect a first input at a first location that corresponds to a first key of the plurality of keys that are distinct from the content deletion control; and

,

in accordance with a determination that the first key has a first key type, output a second audio output that has a second audio output profile, distinct from the first audio output profile.

60. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 57, wherein the one or more programs further include instructions, which, when executed by the electronic device, cause the device to:

in accordance with a determination that the first key has a second key type, output a third audio output that has a third audio output profile that is distinct from the first audio output profile and the second audio output profile.
