 in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to the first type of input:
 display a user interface corresponding to the selectable element. 
   
     
     
         6 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein displaying the user interface corresponding to the selectable element includes replacing the display of the portion of the user interface, the display of the response affordance, and the display of the digital assistant indicator with a display of the user interface corresponding to the selectable element. 
     
     
         7 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein the selectable element is a link, and the user interface corresponding to the selectable element is a user interface corresponding to the link. 
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the user interface is a home screen user interface;   the selectable element is an application affordance of the home screen user interface; and   the user interface corresponding to the selectable element is a user interface corresponding to the application affordance.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
 while displaying the digital assistant user interface over the user interface, receive a second user input; and   in accordance with a determination that the second user input corresponds to a third type of input, cease to display the response affordance and the digital assistant indicator.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the user interface is an application specific user interface, and wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
 in accordance with a determination that the second user input corresponds to the third type of input:
 display a home screen user interface. 
   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
 while displaying the digital assistant user interface over the user interface, receive a third user input corresponding to a selection of the response affordance; and   in response to receiving the third user input, cease to display the response affordance and the digital assistant indicator.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein updating the display of the user interface at the third portion includes scrolling a content of the user interface.
