and in response to detecting the subsequent user input, concurrently displaying, on the display device, a second preview of the third media item being used as the background for the wake screen user interface and the fourth media item being used as the background for the home screen user interface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: while displaying the first preview, displaying, on the display device, a first affordance that, when selected, causes a current user interface with the first preview to be replaced with a media gallery editing user interface provided to edit a plurality of media items associated with a media gallery user interface, wherein the media gallery user interface includes the first and third media items. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: while displaying the first preview, displaying, on the display device, a second affordance that, when selected, causes a current user interface with the first preview to be replaced with a media gallery addition user interface provided to add one or more media items to a plurality of media items associated with a media gallery user interface, wherein the media gallery user interface includes the first and third media items. ### Claim 10 A computing system comprising: one or more processors; a non-transitory memory; an interface for communicating with a display device, one or more input devices, and an image sensor; and one or more programs stored in the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to: detect, via the one or more input devices, a user input that corresponds to a request to set a respective media item as a background for a wake screen user interface; and in response to detecting the user input: in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to a request to set a first media item as a background for the wake screen user interface: set a second media item that is different from the first media item as a background for a home screen user interface; and concurrently display, on the display device, a first preview of the first media item being used as a background for the wake screen user interface and the second media item being used as a background for the home screen user interface; and in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to a request to set a third media item as a background for the wake screen user interface, set a fourth media item that is different from the third media item as a background for the home screen user interface. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The computing system of claim 10, wherein the second media item is generated based on the first media item, and wherein the fourth media item is generated based on the third media item. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The computing system of claim 11, wherein the second media item corresponds to a first solid color generated based on one or more visual properties of the first media item, and wherein the fourth media item corresponds to a second solid color generated based on one or more visual properties of the third media item. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The computing system of claim 11, wherein the second media item corresponds to a first color gradient selected based on one or more visual properties of the first media item, and wherein the fourth media item corresponds to a second color gradient generated based on one or more visual properties of the third media item. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The computing system of claim 13, wherein the first color gradient is generated using a subset of colors that are contained in the first media item, and wherein the second color gradient is generated using a subset of colors contained in the third media item. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The computing system of claim 11, wherein the second media item corresponds to a first pattern generated based on one or more visual properties of the first media item, and wherein the fourth media item corresponds to a second pattern generated based on one or more visual properties of the third media item. ### Claim 16 A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system with an interface for communicating with a display device, one or more input devices, and an image sensor, cause the computing system to: detect, via the one or more input devices, a user input that corresponds to a request to set a respective media item as a background for a wake screen user interface; and in response to detecting the user input: in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to a request to set a first media item as a background for the wake screen user interface: set a second media item that is different from the first media item as a background for a home screen user interface;
