Abstract
In some embodiments, an electronic device presents and shares content in an environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively de-emphasizes a three-dimensional environment in which content is presented. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies the boundaries of content in a user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device shares content with users in a three-dimensional environment.

(canceled)
A method comprising:
- at a first electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, including a hand tracking device:
- while the first electronic device and a second electronic device are associated with different viewpoints in a three-dimensional environment, displaying, via the display generation component of the first electronic device, first content within the three-dimensional environment, wherein:
- one or more positions of one or more objects in the three-dimensional environment are shared between a first user of the first electronic device and a second user of the second electronic device while the first electronic device and the second electronic device are associated with the different viewpoints in the three-dimensional environment, and
- the first content is accessible to the first user of the first electronic device and is not accessible to the second user of the second electronic device;
- while the first content is accessible to the first user of the first electronic device, detecting, via the one or more input devices of the first electronic device, an input corresponding to a request to share the first content with the second user;
- and
- in response to detecting the input corresponding to the request to share the first content with the second user:
- making the first content accessible to the second user in the three-dimensional environment at a position from a viewpoint of the second user corresponding to a position of the first content in the three-dimensional environment from a viewpoint of the first user;
- and
- displaying, via the display generation component of the first electronic device, a visual indication indicating that the first content is accessible to one or more users other than the first user of the first electronic device, wherein the visual indication is displayed proximate to a position of the first content in the three-dimensional environment.
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:
- while the first electronic device and a second electronic device are associated with different viewpoints in a three-dimensional environment, displaying, via a display generation component of the first electronic device, first content within the three-dimensional environment, wherein:
- one or more positions of one or more objects in the three-dimensional environment are shared between a first user of the first electronic device and a second user of the second electronic device while the first electronic device and the second electronic device are associated with the different viewpoints in the three-dimensional environment, and
- the first content is accessible to the first user of the first electronic device and is not accessible to the second user of the second electronic device;
- while the first content is accessible to the first user of the first electronic device, detecting, via one or more input devices of the first electronic device, an input corresponding to a request to share the first content with the second user;
- and
- in response to detecting the input corresponding to the request to share the first content with the second user:
- making the first content accessible to the second user in the three-dimensional environment at a position from a viewpoint of the second user corresponding to a position of the first content in the three-dimensional environment from a viewpoint of the first user;
- and
- displaying, via the display generation component of the first electronic device, a visual indication indicating that the first content is accessible to one or more users other than the first user of the first electronic device, wherein the visual indication is displayed proximate to a position of the first content in the three-dimensional environment.
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:
- while the first electronic device and a second electronic device are associated with different viewpoints in a three-dimensional environment, displaying, via a display generation component of the first electronic device, first content within the three-dimensional environment, wherein:
- one or more positions of one or more objects in the three-dimensional environment are shared between a first user of the first electronic device and a second user of the second electronic device while the first electronic device and the second electronic device are associated with the different viewpoints in the three-dimensional environment, and
- the first content is accessible to the first user of the first electronic device and is not accessible to the second user of the second electronic device;
- while the first content is accessible to the first user of the first electronic device, detecting, via one or more input devices of the first electronic device, an input corresponding to a request to share the first content with the second user;
- and
- in response to detecting the input corresponding to the request to share the first content with the second user:
- making the first content accessible to the second user in the three-dimensional environment at a position from a viewpoint of the second user corresponding to a position of the first content in the three-dimensional environment from a viewpoint of the first user;
- and
- displaying, via the display generation component of the first electronic device, a visual indication indicating that the first content is accessible to one or more users other than the first user of the first electronic device, wherein the visual indication is displayed proximate to a position of the first content in the three-dimensional environment.
