    Abstract: While user interface objects that correspond to different applications are concurrently displayed at respective depths, with a background located behind the user interface objects visible via a display, a user input including a movement is detected. In response to the user input, if the input is directed to a first user interface object and the movement meets first criteria, the computer system maintains display of the second user interface object while the background remains visible, and ceases to display the first user interface object; and if the input is directed to the second user interface object and the movement meets first criteria, the computer system maintains display of the first user interface object while the background remains visible, and ceases to display the second user interface object.

    Abstract: While concurrently displaying representations of a plurality of recently used applications, including a first application representation that corresponds to a first application and a second application representation that corresponds to a second application, at least a first portion of a first user input, including first movement of an input object, is detected. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a first direction that meets first criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and an application launching user interface is displayed. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a second direction that meets second criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and a first user interface of the first application is displayed in an enhanced-reachability mode and shifted in a predefined direction at least partially off of the display.

    Abstract: An electronic device displays content on a touch-sensitive display. A movement of a contact is detected. The movement of the contact is in a direction substantially perpendicular to an edge of the touch-sensitive display. A dock overlaying at least a portion of the content is displayed upon determining that movement of the contact satisfies a first movement-based threshold. The dock includes a number of affordances that, when selected, cause the electronic device to open a respective application that is available on the electronic device. While displaying the dock and in accordance with a determination that movement of the contact satisfies a second movement-based threshold greater than the first movement-based threshold, an application-switcher user interface is activated. The application-switcher user interface includes respective selectable representations of at least some applications that were recently used on the electronic device.

    Abstract: An electronic device displays an application switching user interface. The device, while displaying the application switching user interface, detects a touch gesture by a contact. In response to the touch gesture: if the touch gesture includes movement by the contact in a first direction and started at a location that corresponds to an application representation corresponding to a respective application, the device closes the respective application; and, if the touch gesture includes movement by the contact in the first direction and started at a location that corresponds a predefined region in the application switching user interface that is outside of the representations of respective applications, the device ceases to display the application switching user interface and displays an application launching user interface.

    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, including detecting an initial portion of the gesture while displaying a user interface of a first application, and including concurrently detecting a plurality of contacts on the touch-sensitive surface and detecting movement of the plurality of contacts. In response to detecting the gesture: if the gesture includes two contacts, the device performs an operation in the first application; if the gesture includes more than a threshold number of contacts greater than two and the movement of the contacts during the gesture meets first criteria, the device displays a user interface of a second application; and if the gesture includes more than the threshold number of contacts greater than two and the movement of the contacts meets second criteria, the device a home screen user interface.

    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display concurrently displays a first application user interface on a first portion of the display, and a second application user interface on a second portion of the display. The device detects a first input including movement in a first direction. In response, the device, when the first input meets first criteria, replaces display of the first and second user interfaces with a full-screen home screen, and when the first input meets second criteria, and started in a first edge region, replaces display of the first application user interface with a first replacement user interface while maintaining display of the second application user interface, and when the first input meets the second criteria, and started in a second edge region, replaces display of the second application user interface with a second replacement user interface while maintaining display of the first application user interface.
