Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Providing Navigation and Search Functionalities

Abstract

A device with touch-sensitive display is configured to display, on the touch-sensitive display a first user interface. The device is further configured to, while displaying the first user interface, detect a swipe gesture. In response to detecting the swipe gesture, when the swipe gesture starts at a first edge of the touch-sensitive display and moves away from the first edge, the device displays an application switching user interface that includes representations of a plurality of user interfaces that correspond to open applications, the plurality of user interfaces including a second user interface that is different from the first user interface. When the swipe gesture starts at a second edge of the touch-sensitive display, different from the first edge of the touch-sensitive display, and moves away from the second edge, the device displays a notification interface that includes recently received notifications.

         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the second criteria include a criterion that is met when the swipe gesture moves in a second predetermined direction on the touch-sensitive display, different from the first predetermined direction. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , further including:
 in response to detecting the swipe gesture:
 in accordance with a determination that the swipe gesture meets search-interface display criteria, wherein the search-interface display criteria include a criterion that is met when the swipe gesture starts over a region of the touch-sensitive display that does not correspond to the first edge, and moves by more than a first predefined amount in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction, replacing display of at least a portion of the first user interface with display of a search interface that includes a search input field for inputting search terms. 
   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein displaying the search interface includes displaying a keyboard for entering text into the search input field. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the first user interface is a multi-page application launch interface that includes multiple pages of application icons; and   displaying the search interface includes:
 translating a set of application icons from a first page of the multi-page application launch interface away from a respective edge of the touch-sensitive display in the second predetermined direction; and 
 displaying the search input field in between the respective edge of the touch-sensitive display and the set of application icons. 
   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein displaying the search interface includes ceasing to display at least a subset of the application icons on the first page of the multi-page application launch interface. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further including:
 in response to detecting the swipe gesture, maintaining display of one or more of the application icons from the first page of the multi-page application launch interface while displaying the search interface.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein:
