Abstract
This disclosure relates to user interfaces for audio media controls. A method includes displaying a first media information affordance representing a first media item in response to detecting an indication that a physical proximity between an electronic device and an external device satisfies a proximity condition. The electronic device receives a first input representing a selection of the first media information affordance. In response to receiving the first input: in accordance with a determination that the first input is of a first type of input, initiating a process to play back the first media item; and in accordance with a determination that the first input is of a second type of input that is different from the first type of input, displaying a second media information affordance representing the first media item.
