Dependent claims

An electronic device, comprising:

a camera;
a display apparatus;
and
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 apparatus, a camera user interface, the camera user interface including:
a camera display region including a representation of image data captured via the camera while a subject is positioned within a field of view of the camera, wherein the representation includes a representation of the subject and a representation of a background;
a representation of a selected avatar option that is displayed over a first portion of the representation of the subject while maintaining display of at least a second portion of the representation of the subject;
and
a filter affordance associated with a filter mode;
while displaying the representation of the selected avatar option over the first portion of the representation of the subject in the camera display region and while maintaining display of at least the second portion of the representation of the subject, detecting a gesture directed to the filter affordance;
and
in response to detecting the gesture directed to the filter affordance, activating a filter mode, wherein activating the filter mode includes:
changing an appearance of the displayed representation of the selected avatar option based on a selected filter;
and
changing an appearance of at least a portion of the representation of the background based on the selected filter.

14 more elements

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 that is in communication with a camera and a display apparatus, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying, via the display apparatus, a camera user interface, the camera user interface including:
a camera display region including a representation of image data captured via the camera while a subject is positioned within a field of view of the camera, wherein the representation includes a representation of the subject and a representation of a background;
a representation of a selected avatar option that is displayed over a first portion of the representation of the subject while maintaining display of at least a second portion of the representation of the subject;
and
a filter affordance associated with a filter mode;
while displaying the representation of the selected avatar option over the first portion of the representation of the subject in the camera display region and while maintaining display of at least the second portion of the representation of the subject, detecting a gesture directed to the filter affordance;
and
in response to detecting the gesture directed to the filter affordance, activating a filter mode, wherein activating the filter mode includes:
changing an appearance of the displayed representation of the selected avatar option based on a selected filter;
and
changing an appearance of at least a portion of the representation of the background based on the selected filter.

8 more elements

A method comprising:

at an electronic device having a camera and a display apparatus:
displaying, via the display apparatus, a camera user interface, the camera user interface including:
a camera display region including a representation of image data captured via the camera while a subject is positioned within a field of view of the camera, wherein the representation includes a representation of the subject and a representation of a background;
a representation of a selected avatar option that is displayed over a first portion of the representation of the subject while maintaining display of at least a second portion of the representation of the subject;
and
a filter affordance associated with a filter mode;
while displaying the representation of the selected avatar option over the first portion of the representation of the subject in the camera display region and while maintaining display of at least the second portion of the representation of the subject, detecting a gesture directed to the filter affordance;
and
in response to detecting the gesture directed to the filter affordance, activating a filter mode, wherein activating the filter mode includes:
changing an appearance of the displayed representation of the selected avatar option based on a selected filter;
and
changing an appearance of at least a portion of the representation of the background based on the selected filter.
