Device, method, and graphical user interface for providing and interacting with notifications

Abstract

The invention provides a device, method, and graphical user interface for providing and interactinv with notifications. An electronic device includes instructions for receiving a first communication;in response to receiving the first communication, generating a first notification for the first communication received at the device, the first notification including content of the first communication; receiving a second communication at the device; and in response to receiving the second communication: determining whether the second communication and the first communication are received from thesame sender. The instructions include, in accordance with a determination that the second communication and the first communication are from the same sender, updating the first notification such thatthe updated first notification concurrently includes the content of the first communication and the second communication; and in accordance with a determination that the second communication and thefirst communication are not from the same sender, generating a second notification, for concurrent display with the first notification.

Description

technical field [0001] This document generally relates to electronic devices having touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices having touch-sensitive surfaces that provide notifications of received communications. Background technique [0002] The use of portable electronic devices has increased significantly in recent years, and many applications typically reside in the memory of such devices. Exemplary applications include instant messaging applications, calendar applications, and social media applications. Electronic devices often receive communications for these applications that contain information important to the user. These electronic devices then often provide notifications corresponding to the received communications. [0003] Exemplary communications include instant messages, calendar invitations, social media updates, Weibo posts, and news stories. Exemplary notifications associated with these communications may include digital i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] But the methods used to provide and interact with notifications are cumbersome and inefficient

For example, these notifications may appear in confusing ways

Additionally, there may be little or no ability to interact with notifications, requiring the user to open a corresponding app to handle the communication

These methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy
