Abstract

An electronic device displays a content region including first content that contains an image; and, while displaying the first content, detects an input at a location that corresponds to the location of the image. In response, the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the input includes an intensity above a respective threshold and that the image is associated with a link to second content that is different from the first content, displays a preview of the second content while maintaining display of at least a portion of the first content in the content region; and, in accordance with a determination that the input includes an intensity above the respective threshold and that the image is not associated with a link to additional content, displays an enlarged version of the image while maintaining display of at least a portion of the first content in the content region.
