Abstract

The present disclosure relates to user interfaces for receiving user input. In some examples, a device determines which user input technique a user has accessed most recently, and displays the corresponding user interface. In some examples, a device scrolls through a set of information on the display. When a threshold criteria is satisfied, the device displays an index object fully or partially overlaying the set of information. In some examples, a device displays an emoji graphical object, which is visually manipulated based on user input. The emoji graphical object is transmitted to a recipient. In some examples, a device displays paging affordances that enlarge and allow a user to select a particular page of a user interface. In some examples, the device displays user interfaces for various input methods, including multiple emoji graphical objects. In some examples, a keyboard is displays for receiving user input.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a display;   one or more processors;   a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 receiving a first set of one or more user inputs associated with a messaging input interface; 
 in response to receiving the first set of one or more user inputs associated with the messaging input interface, displaying an emoji graphical object; 
 receiving a second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object; 
 in response to receiving the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object, changing a first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object, wherein the change in the first visual aspect is based on the second set of one or more user inputs; 
 receiving recipient information; and 
 transmitting the emoji graphical object, including the changed first visual aspect, to a recipient associated with the received recipient information. 
   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 receiving a third set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object; and   in response to receiving the third set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object, changing a second visual aspect of the emoji graphical object, wherein the change in the second visual aspect is based on the third set of one or more user inputs.   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the first visual aspect and the second visual aspect are different. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface, and wherein the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object includes a touch gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface associated with the first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface configured to detect intensity of touches, wherein the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object comprises a touch gesture having a characteristic intensity, and wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:
 in response to receiving second set of one or more user inputs and in accordance with a determination that the characteristic intensity exceeds an intensity threshold, changing the first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object comprises changing a first feature of the emoji graphical object.   
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 5 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 in response to receiving the second set of one or more user inputs and in accordance with a determination that the characteristic intensity does not exceed the intensity threshold, changing the first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object comprises changing a second feature of the emoji graphical object different than the first feature.   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a rotatable input mechanism, and wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:
 the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object includes a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism.   
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claims 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a rotatable input mechanism, and wherein the one or more programs include instructions for:
 the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object includes a touch gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface associated with the first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object and a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism.   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 transmitting the emoji graphical object comprises transmitting the emoji graphical object in response to receiving a first user input associated with a selection affordance.   
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 prior to transmitting the emoji graphical object, adding the emoji graphical object to a message body in response to receiving a second user input.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the emoji graphical object is an animated emoji graphical object. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein changing the first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object comprises animating a change in the first visual aspect of the emoji graphical obj ect. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 receiving a first set of one or more user inputs associated with a messaging input interface;   in response to receiving the first set of one or more user inputs associated with the messaging input interface, displaying an emoji graphical object;   receiving a second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical obj ect;   in response to receiving the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object, changing a first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object, wherein the change in the first visual aspect is based on the second set of one or more user inputs;   receiving recipient information; and   transmitting the emoji graphical object, including the changed first visual aspect, to a recipient associated with the received recipient information.   
     
     
         14 . A method comprising:
 at an electronic device with a display:
 receiving a first set of one or more user inputs associated with a messaging input interface; 
 in response to receiving the first set of one or more user inputs associated with the messaging input interface, displaying an emoji graphical object; 
 receiving a second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object; 
 in response to receiving the second set of one or more user inputs associated with the emoji graphical object, changing a first visual aspect of the emoji graphical object, wherein the change in the first visual aspect is based on the second set of one or more user inputs; 
 receiving recipient information; and 
 transmitting the emoji graphical object, including the changed first visual aspect, to a recipient associated with the received recipient information.
