Benefits of technology
Problems solved by technology
For such devices, it may be difficult for the user to contact one of the many available users while performing other operations
This situation creates a significant cognitive load on the user
Furthermore, existing methods for selecting one of a plurality of contactable users while performing other operations take unnecessarily longer, thereby wasting energy

Embodiment Construction
[0043] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are given in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.
[0044] It should also be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first contact could be termed a second contact, and, similarly, a second contact could be termed a first contact, without departi...

Abstract
An electronic device displays a first row, configured to move in a first direction, in a user interface that includes a plurality of representations of open applications. The device concurrently displays a second row, spaced apart from the first row. The second row includes a plurality of application icons corresponding to the representations of open applications. The device detects a first input that corresponds to movement of a respective representation of an open application, in a second direction different from the first direction. The device moves the respective representation out of the first row in the second direction in accordance with a progression of the first input. In accordance with a determination that application-close criteria have been met for the respective application, the device closes the respective application, ceases to display the respective representation in the first row, and ceases to display the corresponding application icon in the second row.
