Abstract

At a computer system, display a first user interface that includes a placement location that is configured to spatially accommodate a respective user interface object of a plurality of user interface objects corresponding to different applications. The plurality of user interface objects includes a first user interface object corresponding to a first application, and a second user interface object corresponding to a second application different from the first application. The first user interface object corresponding to the first application is displayed at the placement location. The computer system detects an occurrence of an event associated with a change in status of the second application corresponding to the second user interface object. In response, the first user interface object is ceased to be displayed at the placement location, and the first user interface with the second user interface object is displayed at the placement location.
