Abstract
An electronic device detects a gesture on a touch-sensitive display. In response to detecting the gesture on the touch-sensitive display, when the gesture is a first swipe gesture in a first direction, the device displays a plurality of open application icons that corresponds to at least some of a plurality of concurrently open applications. When the gesture is a second swipe gesture in a second direction distinct from the first direction, the device displays one or more settings icons. In some embodiments, the first direction is a horizontal direction. In some embodiments, the second direction is an upward direction.

An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- in response to detecting the gesture on the touch-sensitive display:
- when the gesture is a first swipe gesture in a first direction, displaying at least a list of recent electronic notifications;
- and
- when the gesture is a second swipe gesture in a second direction distinct from the first direction, displaying one or more settings icons.
A method, comprising:
- at a multifunction device with a touch-sensitive display:
- detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- in response to detecting the gesture on the touch-sensitive display:
- when the gesture is a first swipe gesture in a first direction, displaying at least a list of recent electronic notifications;
- and
- when the gesture is a second swipe gesture in a second direction distinct from the first direction, displaying one or more settings icons.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display cause the device to:
- detect a gesture on the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- in response to detecting the gesture on the touch-sensitive display:
- when the gesture is a first swipe gesture in a first direction, display at least a list of recent electronic notifications;
