Abstract
In some embodiments, an electronic device presents a plurality of representations of content items that are available on a respective channel in response to successfully subscribing the respective channel. In some embodiments, an electronic device plays content that is provided by a channel in a unified media browsing application. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents information about subscribing to a channel based on content consumption activity of the user on the electronic device in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure.
Claims9
A method comprising:
- at an electronic device in communication with a display and one or more input devices:
- determining that one or more channel subscription-display criteria have been satisfied;
- and
- in response to determining that the one or more channel subscription-display criteria have been satisfied, displaying, on the display, a user interface that includes information about subscribing to a respective channel available on the electronic device, including a selectable option for initiating a process to subscribe to the respective channel on the electronic device, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that a content consumption activity of a user of the electronic device is a first content consumption activity, the user interface includes a representation of first content available on the respective channel;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the content consumption activity of the user of the electronic device is a second content consumption activity, different than the first content consumption activity, the user interface includes a representation of second content, different than the first content, available on the respective channel.
An 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:
- determining that one or more channel subscription-display criteria have been satisfied;
- and
- in response to determining that the one or more channel subscription-display criteria have been satisfied, displaying, on the display, a user interface that includes information about subscribing to a respective channel available on the electronic device, including a selectable option for initiating a process to subscribe to the respective channel on the electronic device, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that a content consumption activity of a user of the electronic device is a first content consumption activity, the user interface includes a representation of first content available on the respective channel;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the content consumption activity of the user of the electronic device is a second content consumption activity, different than the first content consumption activity, the user interface includes a representation of second content, different than the first content, available on the respective channel.
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 an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
- determine that one or more channel subscription-display criteria have been satisfied;
- and
- in response to determining that the one or more channel subscription-display criteria have been satisfied, display, on the display, a user interface that includes information about subscribing to a respective channel available on the electronic device, including a selectable option for initiating a process to subscribe to the respective channel on the electronic device, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that a content consumption activity of a user of the electronic device is a first content consumption activity, the user interface includes a representation of first content available on the respective channel;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the content consumption activity of the user of the electronic device is a second content consumption activity, different than the first content consumption activity, the user interface includes a representation of second content, different than the first content, available on the respective channel.
