Abstract

The present disclosure relates to electronic message user interfaces. A device, including a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and a rotatable input mechanism, is described in relation to accessing, composing, and manipulating electronic messages. In response to detecting the user input activating the electronic conversation object, the device displays, one or more messages in an electronic conversation corresponding to the activated electronic conversation object. While displaying the electronic conversation, user input is received. If the user input is a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device displays, on the display, an affordance associated with replying to the electronic conversation.
