• activation of a first application launch icon in the plurality of application launch icons causes a corresponding first application to be displayed within the messaging user interface in the second area,
• activation of a second application launch icon in the plurality of application launch icons causes a corresponding second application, distinct from the first application, to be displayed within the messaging user interface in the second area, and
• displaying the plurality of application launch icons for the plurality of corresponding applications within the messaging user interface includes:
• in accordance with a determination that the messaging user interface included display of a keyboard in the second area at the time the first input was detected, replacing display of the keyboard with display of the plurality of application launch icons;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the messaging user interface did not include display of a keyboard in the second area at the time the first input was detected, displaying the conversation transcript in the first area and displaying the plurality of application launch icons in the second area.
