Abstract

An electronic device displays a user interface and detects an occurrence of a first condition that triggers a first user interface event, including display of one or more changes to the user interface, associated with a tactile output. The device is not able to generate the tactile output associated with the first user interface event for a respective amount of time. In response to detecting the occurrence of the first condition, in accordance with a determination that the first user interface event corresponds to a first user interface event category, the device delays generation of the first user interface event for at least the respective amount of time, and, thereafter, displays the one or more changes to the user interface in synchronization with generation of the tactile output associated with the first user interface event.
