Embodiment Construction

[0025]Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces that have the ability to send content to third parties. The devices described below improve these methods. When the application is displayed, the device responds to a request to share content from the application by displaying a sharing interface with multiple options for sharing the content. The sharing interface includes a first area with user-first sharing options (e.g., a row or column of selectable affordances or icons associated with nearby available users) and a second area with protocol-first sharing options (e.g., with users row or column of selectable affordances or icons associated with the application sharing the content). When displaying the sharing interface, the device detects selection of an affordance in the sharing interface. Based on determining that the affordance is for a corresponding user-preferred sharing option for the corresponding user, the device initiates a process for sharing the conte...

Abstract

A device with a display and, optionally, a touch- sensitive surface detects a first input corresponding to a request to share first content from a first application while displaying the first application on the display. In response to detecting the first input, the device displays a sharing interface that includes a plurality of options for sharing the first content. While displaying the sharing interface, the device detects selection of an affordance in the sharing interface. In accordance with a determination that the affordance is a respective user-first sharing option for a respective user, the device initiates a process for sharing the first content with the respective user. In accordance with a determination that the affordance is a protocol-first sharing option for a respective protocol, the device initiates a process for sharing the first content using the respective protocol.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that share content from corresponding applications. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to manipulate user interface objects on a display and to navigate through menus and various other interfaces to share content. [0003] However, the methods used to share content are cumbersome and inefficient. Additionally, these methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices. Contents of the invention [0004] Therefore, it is necessary for electronic device...
