In some embodiments, an electronic device detects a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a joint gaming application session with one or more users other than a user of the first electronic device. In some embodiment, the electronic device facilitates initiation of the joint gaming application session.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- at a first electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
- detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a joint gaming application session with one or more users other than a user of the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to detecting the first user input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device is part of a synchronized media and communication session with a second electronic device associated with a second user, displaying, via the display generation component, a first user selectable option that is selectable to initiate the joint gaming application session with the user of the first electronic device and the second user;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device is not part of the synchronized media and communication session with the second electronic device associated with the second user, forgoing displaying, via the display generation component, the first user selectable option.
4 more elements
A first electronic device, comprising:
- 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, via one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a joint gaming application session with one or more users other than a user of the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to detecting the first user input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device is part of a synchronized media and communication session with a second electronic device associated with a second user, displaying, via a display generation component, a first user selectable option that is selectable to initiate the joint gaming application session with the user of the first electronic device and the second user;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device is not part of the synchronized media and communication session with the second electronic device associated with the second user, forgoing displaying, via the display generation component, the first user selectable option.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device, cause the first electronic device to perform a method comprising:
- detecting, via one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a request to initiate a joint gaming application session with one or more users other than a user of the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to detecting the first user input:
- in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device is part of a synchronized media and communication session with a second electronic device associated with a second user, displaying, via a display generation component, a first user selectable option that is selectable to initiate the joint gaming application session with the user of the first electronic device and the second user;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first electronic device is not part of the synchronized media and communication session with the second electronic device associated with the second user, forgoing displaying, via the display generation component, the first user selectable option.
