A device, comprising a display and a rotatable input mechanism, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs, is described. In response to receiving the first user input, the one or more programs may include instructions for ceasing display of an audio playback user interface and displaying a first user interface of a first set of user interfaces. While displaying the user interface of the first set of user interfaces, the one or more programs may include instructions for: receiving a second user input representing a directional swipe in a second direction and, in response to receiving the second user input, ceasing display of the first user interface of a first set of user interfaces and displaying the audio playback user interface. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic device, comprising: a display;

and further in accordance with a determination that the application user interface corresponds to the second user interface in the audio application and in accordance with a determination that the user input includes a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction, ceasing to display the first set of one or more affordances in the application user interface and displaying a third set of one or more affordances in the application user interface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first user interface in the audio application includes an affordance for pausing the audio content, an affordance for scrubbing within the audio content, and an affordance for skipping to next audio content. ### Claim 7 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 and a rotatable input mechanism, the one or more programs including instructions for: displaying, on the display, an application user interface that corresponds to an audio application for playing audio content; while displaying the application user interface and playing the audio content at a volume level, receiving, via the rotatable input mechanism, a user input; in response to receiving the user input: in accordance with a determination that the application user interface corresponds to a first user interface in the audio application, changing the volume level of the audio content; and in accordance with a determination that the application user interface corresponds to a second user interface in the audio application, different from the first user interface in the audio application: ceasing to display a first set of one or more affordances in the application user interface and displaying a second set of one or more affordances in the application user interface;
