Claims36
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display device;
- a wireless communication radio;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, via the display device, a communication user interface that includes an activatable indicator displayed with a first visual appearance;
- receiving a first input corresponding to the activatable indicator displayed with the first visual appearance, wherein the first input is a single, continuous input;
- and
- in response to receiving the first input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first input satisfies a set of input criteria:
- transmitting, via the wireless communication radio, audio data in a voice communication session with a second electronic device;
- and
- displaying the activatable indicator with a second visual appearance;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first input does not satisfy the set of input criteria, displaying the activatable indicator with a third visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance and the second visual appearance, wherein the third visual appearance includes textual content indicating a type of input that would satisfy the set of input criteria, wherein displaying the activatable indicator with the third visual appearance occurs without transmitting, via the wireless communication radio, audio data in a voice communication session with the second electronic device, and wherein the activatable indicator with the third visual appearance is displayed after the first input has ended.

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 device and a wireless communication radio, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, via the display device, a communication user interface that includes an activatable indicator displayed with a first visual appearance;
- receiving a first input corresponding to the activatable indicator displayed with the first visual appearance, wherein the first input is a single, continuous input;
- and
- in response to receiving the first input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first input satisfies a set of input criteria:
- transmitting, via the wireless communication radio, audio data in a voice communication session with a second electronic device;
- and
- displaying the activatable indicator with a second visual appearance;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first input does not satisfy the set of input criteria, displaying the activatable indicator with a third visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance and the second visual appearance, wherein the third visual appearance includes textual content indicating a type of input that would satisfy the set of input criteria, wherein displaying the activatable indicator with the third visual appearance occurs without transmitting, via the wireless communication radio, audio data in a voice communication session with the second electronic device, and wherein the activatable indicator with the third visual appearance is displayed after the first input has ended.

A method comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display device and a wireless communication radio:
- displaying, via the display device, a communication user interface that includes an activatable indicator displayed with a first visual appearance;
- receiving a first input corresponding to the activatable indicator displayed with the first visual appearance, wherein the first input is a single, continuous input;
- and
- in response to receiving the first input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first input satisfies a set of input criteria:
- transmitting, via the wireless communication radio, audio data in a voice communication session with a second electronic device;
- and
- displaying the activatable indicator with a second visual appearance;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first input does not satisfy the set of input criteria, displaying the activatable indicator with a third visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance and the second visual appearance, wherein the third visual appearance includes textual content indicating a type of input that would satisfy the set of input criteria, wherein displaying the activatable indicator with the third visual appearance occurs without transmitting, via the wireless communication radio, audio data in a voice communication session with the second electronic device, and wherein the activatable indicator with the third visual appearance is displayed after the first input has ended.
