Providing directional awareness indicators based on context

A device comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises program instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the device to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors of the device in a physical environment;
• detecting a context associated with a use of the device based on the sensor data and historical use of the device in the physical environment;
• determining whether to present a directional awareness indicator based on the context associated with the use of the device in the physical environment;
• and
• in accordance with determining to present the directional awareness indicator,
• identifying a direction for the directional awareness indicator, wherein the direction corresponds to a cardinal direction or a direction towards an anchored location or an anchored device, and
• presenting the directional awareness indicator based on the identified direction.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer-executable program instructions on a computer to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors of an electronic device in a physical environment;
• detecting a context associated with a use of the electronic device based on the sensor data and historical use of the electronic device in the physical environment;
• determining whether to present a directional awareness indicator based on the context associated with the use of the electronic device in the physical environment;
• and
• in accordance with determining to present the directional awareness indicator,
• identifying a direction for the directional awareness indicator, wherein the direction corresponds to a cardinal direction or a direction towards an anchored location or an anchored device, and
• presenting the directional awareness indicator based on the identified direction.
