FIELD

0002The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for managing communication user interfaces.

BACKGROUND

0003Electronic computer systems provide means for communicating such as via text messages and email. <patcit id="pcit0006" dnum="EP0963061A2"><text>EP0963061A2</text></patcit> relates to satellite-based communications systems wherein mobile user terminals are connected via at least one satellite to a terrestrial communications system.

BRIEF SUMMARY

0004Some techniques for managing communication user interfaces using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.

0005Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing communication user interfaces. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing communication user interfaces. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.

0006In accordance with some embodiments, a method according to claim 1 performed at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, is described.

0007In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 is described.

0008In accordance with some embodiments, a computer system according to claim 14 is described.

0009Thus, devices are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing emergency user interfaces, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for managing communication user interfaces.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

0011The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

0012There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for managing communications. For example, there is a need for methods and user interfaces for initiating a communication, determining whether to use a terrestrial or non-terrestrial (e.g., satellite) communication network, and providing users with feedback for aligning to a satellite for communication. For example, there is a need for methods and user interfaces for transmitting updated location information (e.g., when a terrestrial communication network is not available). Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who needs to communicate or share updated location information under certain conditions (e.g., emergency conditions), thereby enhancing effectiveness by ensuring proper use of devices. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.

0021The processes described below enhance the operability of the devices and make the user-device interfaces more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) through various techniques, including by providing improved visual feedback to the user, reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input, and/or additional techniques. These techniques also reduce power usage and improve battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation and providing clear feedback to the user enable the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently, which is particularly important in emergency situations for several reasons. Using a device efficiently conserves battery life, which is important in emergency situations because some emergency communication features use satellite communications that can use significant energy (e.g., more energy than cellular communications) and because opportunities to recharge the device in an emergency may be limited (e.g., because a user is in a remote location where a power source is not available). User interfaces that clearly indicate how to use a device quickly and efficiently are particularly important in emergency situations because a user may be stressed and more prone to making mistakes. In an emergency situation, reducing errors by providing clear instructions and feedback saves time communicating with emergency services, which can improve the likelihood that emergency assistance will be provided more quickly.

0022In addition, in methods described herein where one or more steps are contingent upon one or more conditions having been met, it should be understood that the described method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that over the course of the repetitions all of the conditions upon which steps in the method are contingent have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if a method requires performing a first step if a condition is satisfied, and a second step if the condition is not satisfied, then a person of ordinary skill would appreciate that the claimed steps are repeated until the condition has been both satisfied and not satisfied, in no particular order. Thus, a method described with one or more steps that are contingent upon one or more conditions having been met could be rewritten as a method that is repeated until each of the conditions described in the method has been met. This, however, is not required of system or computer readable medium claims where the system or computer readable medium contains instructions for performing the contingent operations based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions and thus is capable of determining whether the contingency has or has not been satisfied without explicitly repeating steps of a method until all of the conditions upon which steps in the method are contingent have been met. A person having ordinary skill in the art would also understand that, similar to a method with contingent steps, a system or computer readable storage medium can repeat the steps of a method as many times as are needed to ensure that all of the contingent steps have been performed.

0023Although the following description uses terms "first," "second," etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. In some embodiments, these terms are used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are two separate references to the same touch. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.

0024The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "includes," "including," "comprises," and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

0025The term "if' is, optionally, construed to mean "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" is, optionally, construed to mean "upon determining" or "in response to determining" or "upon detecting [the stated condition or event]" or "in response to detecting [the stated condition or event]," depending on the context.

0026Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone^®, iPod Touch^®, and iPad^® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, "displaying" content includes causing to display the content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content.

0027In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.

0028The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.

0029The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

0030Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a "touch screen" for convenience and is sometimes known as or called a "touch-sensitive display system." Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

0031As used in the specification and claims, the term "intensity" of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).

0032As used in the specification and claims, the term "tactile output" refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a "down click" or "up click" of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an "down click" or "up click" even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an "up click," a "down click," "roughness"), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

0033It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components.

Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 102 and/or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212, <figref idref="f0003">FIG. 2</figref>). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone).

0038I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to peripherals interface 118. I/O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, depth camera controller 169, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices.

In some embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are, optionally, coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, <figref idref="f0003">FIG. 2</figref>) optionally include an up/down button for volume control of speaker 111 and/or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206, <figref idref="f0003">FIG. 2</figref>). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a trackpad, as part of a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include one or more camera sensors (e.g., one or more optical sensors 164 and/or one or more depth camera sensors 175), such as for tracking a user's gestures (e.g., hand gestures and/or air gestures) as input. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system. In some embodiments, an air gesture is a gesture that is detected without the user touching an input element that is part of the device (or independently of an input element that is a part of the device) and is based on detected motion of a portion of the user's body through the air including motion of the user's body relative to an absolute reference (e.g., an angle of the user's arm relative to the ground or a distance of the user's hand relative to the ground), relative to another portion of the user's body (e.g., movement of a hand of the user relative to a shoulder of the user, movement of one hand of the user relative to another hand of the user, and/or movement of a finger of the user relative to another finger or portion of a hand of the user), and/or absolute motion of a portion of the user's body (e.g., a tap gesture that includes movement of a hand in a predetermined pose by a predetermined amount and/or speed, or a shake gesture that includes a predetermined speed or amount of rotation of a portion of the user's body).

0039A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in <patcit id="pcit0007" dnum="US32254905" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application 11/322,549, "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image," filed December 23, 2005</text></patcit>, <patcit id="pcit0008" dnum="US7657849B"><text>U.S. Pat.

The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

0040Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user-interface objects.

0041Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.

0042Touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone^® and iPod Touch^® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.

0043A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following <patcit id="pcit0009" dnum="US6323846B"><text>U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.</text></patcit>), <patcit id="pcit0010" dnum="US6570557B"><text>6,570,557 (Westerman et al.</text></patcit>), and/or <patcit id="pcit0011" dnum="US6677932B"><text>6,677,932 (Westerman</text></patcit>), and/or <patcit id="pcit0012" dnum="US20020015024A1"><text>U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1</text></patcit>. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.

0044A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) <patcit id="pcit0013" dnum="US38131306" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/381,313, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller," filed May 2, 2006</text></patcit>; (2) <patcit id="pcit0014" dnum="US84086204" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 10/840,862, "Multipoint Touchscreen," filed May 6, 2004</text></patcit>; (3) <patcit id="pcit0015" dnum="US90396404" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 10/903,964, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed July 30, 2004</text></patcit>; (4) <patcit id="pcit0016" dnum="US04826405" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/048,264, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 31, 2005</text></patcit>; (5) <patcit id="pcit0017" dnum="US03859005" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/038,590, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 18, 2005</text></patcit>; (6) <patcit id="pcit0018" dnum="US22875805" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,758, "Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface," filed September 16, 2005</text></patcit>; (7) <patcit id="pcit0019" dnum="US22870005" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,700, "Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface," filed September 16, 2005</text></patcit>; (8) <patcit id="pcit0020" dnum="US22873705" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,737, "Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard," filed September 16, 2005</text></patcit>; and (9) <patcit id="pcit0021" dnum="US36774906" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/367,749, "Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device," filed March 3, 2006</text></patcit>.

0045Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.

0046In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

0047Device 100 also includes power system 162 for powering the various components. Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.

0048Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> shows an optical sensor coupled to optical sensor controller 158 in I/O subsystem 106. Optical sensor 164 optionally includes charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. Optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112 on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.

0049Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> shows a depth camera sensor coupled to depth camera controller 169 in I/O subsystem 106. Depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a three dimensional model of an object (e.g., a face) within a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), depth camera sensor 175 is optionally used to determine a depth map of different portions of an image captured by the imaging module 143. In some embodiments, a depth camera sensor is located on the front of device 100 so that the user's image with depth information is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display and to capture selfies with depth map data. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor 175 is located on the back of device, or on the back and the front of the device 100. In some embodiments, the position of depth camera sensor 175 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a depth camera sensor 175 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.

0050Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I/O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

0051Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, proximity sensor 166 is, optionally, coupled to input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Proximity sensor 166 optionally performs as described in <patcit id="pcit0022" dnum="US241839" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application Nos. 11/241,839</text></patcit>, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; <patcit id="pcit0023" dnum="US11240788B"><text>11/240,788</text></patcit>, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; <patcit id="pcit0024" dnum="US11620702B"><text>11/620,702</text></patcit>, "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; <patcit id="pcit0025" dnum="US11586862B"><text>11/586,862</text></patcit>, "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and <patcit id="pcit0026" dnum="US11638251B"><text>11/638,251</text></patcit>, "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals". In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).

0052Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 in I/O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and/or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component that converts electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on device 100 that are capable of being sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

0053Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168. <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> shows accelerometer 168 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, accelerometer 168 is, optionally, coupled to an input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Accelerometer 168 optionally performs as described in <patcit id="pcit0027" dnum="US20050190059A"><text>U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059</text></patcit>, "Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices," and <patcit id="pcit0028" dnum="US20060017692A"><text>U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692</text></patcit>, "Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer". In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device 100 optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s) 168, a magnetometer and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.

0054In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (<figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>) or 370 (<figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref>) stores device/global internal state 157, as shown in <figref idref="f0001">FIGS. 1A</figref> and <figref idref="f0004">3</figref>. Device/global internal state 157 includes one or more of: active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various regions of touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and location information concerning the device's location and/or attitude.

0055Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.

0056Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod^® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.

0057Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., "multitouch"/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.

0058In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has "clicked" on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse "click" threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click "intensity" parameter).

0059Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.

Additional description of the online video application can be found in <patcit id="pcit0029" dnum="US93656207" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos," filed June 20, 2007</text></patcit>, and <patcit id="pcit0030" dnum="US96806707" dnum-type="L"><text>U.S. Patent Application No. 11/968,067, "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos," filed December 31, 2007</text></patcit>.

0084Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152, <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

0085In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 is, optionally, reduced.

0086The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.

0087<figref idref="f0002">FIG. 1B</figref> is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (<figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>) or 370 (<figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref>) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-151, 155, 380-390).

0088Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.

0089In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.

0090Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

0091In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).

0092In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.

0093Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

0094Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

0095Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.

0096Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.

0097Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.

0098In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.

0099In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.

0100A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

0101Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.

0102Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (e.g., 187-1 and or 187-2) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

0103In some embodiments, event definitions 186 include a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.

0104In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.

0105When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.

0106In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.

0107In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.

0108In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.

0109In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

0110In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

0111It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.

0112<figref idref="f0003">FIG. 2</figref> illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward), and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device 100. In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.

0113Device 100 optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as "home" or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally, executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.

0114In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124.

In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.

0115<figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref> is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child's learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device 300 includes input/output (I/O) interface 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s) 167 described above with reference to <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference to <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (<figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>), or a subset thereof. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheet module 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (<figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref>) optionally does not store these modules.

0116Each of the above-identified elements in <figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref> is, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above-identified modules or computer programs (e.g., sets of instructions or including instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

0117Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

0118<figref idref="f0005">FIG. 4A</figref> illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof: <ul id="ul0003" list-style="bullet"><li>Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;</li><li>Time 404;</li><li>Bluetooth indicator 405;</li><li>Battery status indicator 406;</li><li>Tray 408 with icons for frequently used applications, such as: <ul id="ul0004" list-style="none"><li>∘ Icon 416 for telephone module 138, labeled "Phone," which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages;</li><li>∘ Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled "Mail," which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread e-mails;</li><li>∘ Icon 420 for browser module 147, labeled "Browser;" and</li><li>∘ Icon 422 for video and music player module 152, also referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152, labeled "iPod;" and</li></ul></li><li>Icons for other applications, such as: <ul id="ul0005" list-style="none"><li>∘ Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled "Messages;"</li><li>∘ Icon 426 for calendar module 148, labeled "Calendar;"</li><li>∘ Icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled "Photos;"</li><li>∘ Icon 430 for camera module 143, labeled "Camera;"</li><li>∘ Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled "Online Video;"</li><li>∘ Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled "Stocks;"</li><li>∘ Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled "Maps;"</li><li>∘ Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled "Weather;"</li><li>∘ Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled "Clock;"</li><li>∘ Icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled "Workout Support;"</li><li>∘ Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled "Notes;" and</li><li>∘ Icon 446 for a settings application or module, labeled "Settings," which provides access to settings for device 100 and its various applications 136.</li></ul></li></ul>

0119It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in <figref idref="f0005">FIG. 4A</figref> are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player." Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon.

0120<figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref> illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, <figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref>) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, <figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref>) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen display 112). Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.

0121Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein.

0122Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.

0123<figref idref="f0007">FIG. 5A</figref> illustrates exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500 includes body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., <figref idref="f0001 f0002 f0003 f0004 f0005 f0006">FIGS. 1A-4B</figref>). In some embodiments, device 500 has touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touches based on their intensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

0124Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. <patcit id="pcit0031" dnum="US2013040061W" dnum-type="L"><text>PCT/US2013/040061, titled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application," filed May 8, 2013</text></patcit>, published as WIPO Publication No. <patcit id="pcit0032" dnum="WO2013169849A"><text>WO/2013/169849</text></patcit>, and International Patent Application Serial No. <patcit id="pcit0033" dnum="US2013069483W" dnum-type="L"><text>PCT/US2013/069483, titled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships," filed November 11, 2013</text></patcit>, published as WIPO Publication No. <patcit id="pcit0034" dnum="WO2014105276A"><text>WO/2014/105276</text></patcit>.

0125In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 500 to be worn by a user.

0126<figref idref="f0008">FIG. 5B</figref> depicts exemplary personal electronic device 500. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to <figref idref="f0001">FIGS. 1A</figref>, <figref idref="f0002">1B</figref>, and <figref idref="f0004">3</figref>. Device 500 has bus 512 that operatively couples I/O section 514 with one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I/O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and, optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). In addition, I/O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and/or 508. Input mechanism 506 is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, for example. Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button, in some examples.

0127Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.

0128Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, and 2200 (<figref idref="f0027">FIGS. 7</figref>, <figref idref="f0028">8</figref>, <figref idref="f0046">10</figref>, <figref idref="f0054">12</figref>, <figref idref="f0069">14</figref>, <figref idref="f0086">16</figref>, <figref idref="f0097">18</figref>, <figref idref="f0107">20</figref>, and <figref idref="f0115">22</figref>, respectively). A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configuration of <figref idref="f0008">FIG. 5B</figref>, but can include other or additional components in multiple configurations.

0129As used here, the term "affordance" refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (<figref idref="f0001">FIGS. 1A</figref>, <figref idref="f0004">3</figref>, and <figref idref="f0007 f0008">5A-5B</figref>). For example, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink) each optionally constitute an affordance.

0130As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a "focus selector" so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in <figref idref="f0004">FIG. 3</figref> or touch-sensitive surface 451 in <figref idref="f0006">FIG. 4B</figref>) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 in <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1A</figref> or touch screen 112 in <figref idref="f0005">FIG. 4A</figref>) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a "focus selector" so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).

0131As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

0132Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ("UI") and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 610A, 610B, 610C, 610D, 606G, 610I, 612M, 610M, 613M, 616M, 618M, 622M, 624M, 608N, 616M, 608O, 6100, 608P, 608Q, 604R, 604S, and/or 610S) is or includes activation (e.g., a press, a rotation, and/or a movement) of a hardware device (e.g., a button, a rotatable input mechanism, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, a mouse button, a button of a remote control, and/or a joystick). In some embodiments, any of the user interface elements described as being selected herein (e.g., an icon, affordance, button, and/or selectable option) is selected by activating a hardware device while the user interface element is in focus (e.g., highlighted, bolded, outlined, visually distinguished from other user interface elements, and/or located at or near a cursor).

0135<figref idref="f0009 f0010">FIGS. 6A-6D</figref> illustrate exemplary interfaces for initiating a communication such as, e.g., an audio call and/or a text message. <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A</figref> and <figref idref="f0010">6C</figref> include interfaces for initiating a call with an emergency service (e.g., 911). <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6B</figref> and <figref idref="f0010">6D</figref> include interfaces for initiating a call with a non-emergency service.

0136<figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A and 6B</figref> illustrate the process for attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service and a non-emergency entity. <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A and 6B</figref> display computer system 600 with touch-sensitive display 601. In <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A and 6B</figref>, computer system 600 displays calling interfaces 602A and 602B, respectively, for initiating a call. Calling interfaces 602A and 602B include keypad 604A and 604B (respectively), text field 608, call button 606A and 606B (respectively), and network indicator 607. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of a phone application affordance (e.g., on a home screen), computer system 600 displays calling interface 602A and calling interface 602B.

0137Network indicator 607 displays the availability of computer system 600 to communicate with a terrestrial wireless communication to transmit a communication (e.g., initiate a call). In some embodiments, the terrestrial wireless communication network is a cellular network and/or and internet network (e.g., Wi-Fi). Computer system 600 determines the availability of the cellular network based on the strength and consistency of the cellular network to communicate with computer system 600. In <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A-6B</figref>, network indicator 607 displays a cellular network is available to initiate a call. However, in some embodiments, computer system 600 receives a request to initiate a call when the cellular network is unavailable.

0138In <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref>, computer system 600 detects one or more inputs on keypad 604 and input 610A (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on call button 606A to dial a number for an emergency service. Computer system 600 displays the emergency service as 911 in text field 608. Other emergency services can be contacted as described below; for example: 999 in the United Kingdom, 110 and/or 119 in Japan, and 000 in Australia.

0139In response to detecting input 610A on call button 606A, computer system 600 attempts to initiate a call to the emergency service and displays calling interface 602E shown in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6E</figref> discussed below.

0140In <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6B</figref>, computer system 600 detects one or more inputs on keypad 604B and input 610B (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on call button 606B to dial a non-emergency entity. Computer system 600 displays the non-emergency entity as 123-456-7890. In some embodiments, a non-emergency entity is a contactable entity or phone number not associated with an emergency service, for example: a friend or a store.

0141In response to detecting input 610B on call button 606B, computer system 600 attempts to initiate a call and connect to the non-emergency entity and displays calling interface 602F shown in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref> described below.

0142<figref idref="f0010">FIGS. 6C and 6D</figref> illustrate an alternative process from <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A and 6B</figref> for attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service and a non-emergency entity. <figref idref="f0010">FIGS. 6C and 6D</figref> display exemplary user interfaces for initiating a call using external computer system 620 with touch-sensitive display 621. In <figref idref="f0010">FIGS. 6C and 6D</figref> external computer system 620 displays watch interfaces 602C and 602D for initiating a call.

0143In <figref idref="f0010">FIG. 6C</figref>, watch interface 602C includes power off slider 604C, medical ID slider 606C, and emergency SOS slider 608C. In response to detecting an input on power off slider 604C, external computer system 620 turns off. In response to detecting an input on medical ID slider 606C, external computer system 620 displays medical identification information about a user of external computer system 620. In some embodiments, the external computer system 620 displays watch interface 602C in response to external computer system 620 detecting an input, for example an input (e.g., a press and hold) on button 622 or a voice command (e.g., to "display power options").

0144In response to detecting input 610C on emergency SOS slider 608C, external computer system 620 attempts to initiate a call and connect to the emergency service. In some embodiments, external computer system 620 can initiate the call by sending a request to a paired computer system 600 to dial the emergency service and display calling interface 602F on computer device 600 of <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref> described below.

0145In <figref idref="f0010">FIG. 6D</figref> watch interface 602D includes a keypad 604D, end call button 606D, and a text field 612D. External computer system 620 detects one or more inputs (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on keypad 604D to dial a non-emergency number "123-456-7890". The external computer system 620 displays watch interface 602D in response to one or more inputs to select a phone affordance for initiating communications.

0146In response to receiving input 610D on call button 606D, external computer system 620 attempts to initiate the call and connect to the non-emergency number and displays calling interface 602F of <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref> described below. In some embodiments, the one or more inputs on the keypad 604D dial an emergency number (e.g., "911") and in response to receiving input 610D on call button 606D, external computer system 620 attempts to initiate the call and connect to the emergency service, displaying calling interface 602E of <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6E</figref> described below.

0147In <figref idref="f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014">FIGS. 6E-6J</figref>, computer system 600 displays interfaces for managing a communication when no cellular service is available. <figref idref="f0011">FIGS. 6E</figref>, <figref idref="f0013">6G</figref>, and <figref idref="f0014">6I</figref> include interfaces for managing a call with an emergency service, and <figref idref="f0011">FIGS. 6F</figref>, <figref idref="f0013">6H</figref>, and <figref idref="f0014">6J</figref> include interfaces for managing a call with a non-emergency service. In <figref idref="f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014">FIGS. 6E-6J</figref>, computer system 600 updates (e.g., replaces) network indicator 607 to indicate that no terrestrial wireless communication network is available to initiate the call. In some embodiments, determining that no terrestrial wireless communication network is available includes trying other carrier cellular networks other than networks associated with computer system 600 (e.g., the phone SIM or eSIM). Connection indicator 605 can initially display, e.g., "calling" when attempting to initiate a call, and then displays, e.g., "no connection" to indicate that no terrestrial wireless communication network is available to connect a call.

0148End call button 609 is a selectable button for ending a call or ceasing to attempt to initiate a call. In response to receiving a selection of end call button 609, computer system 600 displays calling interface 602A described in <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref>.

0149In <figref idref="f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014">FIGS. 6E-6J</figref>, computer system 600 displays call management buttons 603 (e.g., as displayed and described further in <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K-6L</figref>). Call management buttons 603 are various selectable buttons that provide functions for managing a call. In some embodiments, in response to a determination that no cellular service is available, computer system 600 displays call management buttons 603 as non-selectable (e.g., greyed out). In some embodiments, computer system 600 forgoes display of call management buttons 603 in <figref idref="f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014">FIGS. 6E-6J</figref> in response to a determination that no cellular service is available.

0150<figref idref="f0011">FIGS. 6E and 6F</figref> illustrate the continuation of the process for attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service and a non-emergency entity from <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6A</figref> and <figref idref="f0010">6C</figref>, and <figref idref="f0009">FIGS. 6B</figref> and <figref idref="f0010">6D</figref>, respectively. In <figref idref="f0011">FIGS. 6E and 6F</figref>, computer system 600 displays call management interfaces 602E and 602F, respectively, for managing a call.

0151In <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6E</figref>, call management interface 602E displays a call to 911 in text field 608 to indicate that a call to the emergency service has been initiated. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays call management interface 602E in response to detecting input 610A on call button 606 of <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref> to attempt to initiate a call to emergency services. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays managing interface 602E in response to detecting input 610C on emergency SOS slider 608C of <figref idref="f0010">FIG. 6C</figref>. After a threshold amount of time displaying call management interface 602E without successfully initiating the call, computer system 600 displays call management interface 602G described in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref> below.

0152In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays an animated transition from call management interface 602E to call management interface 602G that includes an animation over time of end call button 609 moving (e.g., sliding) to the left over time (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F1</figref>) and then display of text via satellite communication button 604G (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F2</figref>). In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0012">FIGS. 6F1, 6F2</figref>, and <figref idref="f0013">6G</figref>, computer system 600 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 when initiating display of text via satellite communication button 604G (e.g., in <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F1</figref>) and/or when displaying text via satellite communication button 604G (e.g., in <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F2</figref> and/or <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>). Outputting a non-visual output (e.g., haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650) notifies the user that the option to text via satellite is available if the user is not looking at display 601 (e.g., if computer system 600 is against the user's ear).

0153In <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref>, computer system 600 displays call management interface 602F while attempting to initiate the call to non-emergency number 123-456-7890. Computer system 600 displays call management interface 602F in response to detecting input 610B on call button 606 of <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6B</figref> or in response to receiving input 610D on call button 606D of <figref idref="f0010">FIG. 6D</figref> above.

0154<figref idref="f0013">FIGS. 6G and 6H</figref> illustrate the continuation of the process for attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service and a non-emergency entity from <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6E</figref> (or <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F2</figref>) and <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref>, respectively.

0155In <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>, because computer system 600 is attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service when no terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable, computer system 600 displays that there is no connection in connection indictor 605 and displays text via satellite communication button 604G in call management interface 602G.

0156In some embodiments, in response to a determination that no terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable, computer system 600 displays call back option 611 (e.g., as shown and described with respect to <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6H</figref>). In response to receiving an input on call back option 611, computer system 600 attempts to initiate the call again via a terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, when no terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable, computer system 600 replaces call back option with text via satellite communication button 604G (e.g., after a predetermined amount of time). In some embodiments, when a call to an emergency service or number is attempted but fails (e.g., because no terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable), computer system 600 continues to attempt to initiate a call to the emergency service or number via a terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., as a background process).

0157In response to detecting input 606G on text via satellite communication button 604G, computer system 600 initiates a process for sending a text message via one or more satellites and displays reporting interface 602M shown in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref> discussed below. In some embodiments, computer system 600 continues attempting to initiate the call via a terrestrial wireless communication network while displaying text via satellite communication button 604G. After a threshold amount of time (e.g., 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or 10 seconds) of displaying call management interface 602G without receiving user input, computer system 600 initiates a countdown in text via satellite communication button 604G in call management interface 602I described in <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref> below.

0158In <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6H</figref>, call management interface 602H for the call to the non-emergency entity is displayed at a point in the call initiation process analogous to call management interface 602F of <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref> for the call to the emergency service. For example, computer system 600 displays call management interface 602H in response to displaying call management interface 602F (e.g., as described in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref>) for a threshold amount of time without receiving an input. In <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6H</figref>, connection indicator displays (e.g., is updated to display) that the call has failed. In contrast to call management interface 602G for the call to the emergency service, because the call in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6H</figref> is to a non-emergency entity, computer system 600 displays call back button 611 rather than displaying an option to send a text message (e.g., text via satellite communication button 604G). For example, for communications to non-emergency contacts, the computer system 600 forgoes display of the text via satellite communication button. In some embodiments, computer system 600 can display the text via satellite option for non-emergency communications, and in response to receiving an input on the text via satellite option, display the reporting interface 602M shown in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref> discussed below.

0159<figref idref="f0014">FIGS. 6I and 6J</figref> illustrate the continuation of the process for attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service and a non-emergency entity from <figref idref="f0013">FIGS. 6G and 6H</figref>, respectively. In <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>, call management interface 602I replaces call management interface 602G, with text via satellite communication button 604I indicating a countdown of remaining time. In some embodiments, the countdown indicates a remaining time until a message (e.g., an emergency SOS message) is sent automatically via satellite communication. In some embodiments, the countdown indicates a remaining time until computer system 600 enters a mode for generating and sending an emergency communication via satellite communication (e.g., <figref idref="f0016">FIG. 6L1</figref> or <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>). In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>, computer system 600 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 when initiating the countdown. Outputting a non-visual output (e.g., haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650) notifies the user that the countdown has started if the user is not looking at display 601 (e.g., if computer system 600 or a display generation component of computer system 600 is against the user's ear).

0160In <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>, before the countdown expires, computer system 600 detects input 606I on text via satellite communication button 604I. In response to detecting input 606I on the text via satellite communication button 604I, computer system 600 initiates a process for sending a text via one or more satellites and displays information interface 602L1 (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0016">FIG. 6L1</figref>) or managing interface 602M (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>).

0161In <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6J</figref>, managing interface 602J is similar to managing interface 602F and 602H of <figref idref="f0011">FIGS. 6F</figref> and <figref idref="f0013">6H</figref>, respectively. Managing interface 602J does not include a text via satellite communication button 604I, nor a countdown of remaining time until a message is sent automatically. In some embodiments, non-emergency communications can display the text via satellite option and/or an amount of time remaining, and in response to receiving an input on the text via satellite option the computer system 600 displays the managing interface 602M shown in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref> discussed below.

0162<figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K and 6L</figref> illustrate the continuation of the process for attempting to initiate a call to an emergency service and a non-emergency entity from <figref idref="f0014">FIGS 6I and 6J</figref>. <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K and 6L</figref> display computer system 600 with interfaces for managing a communication when cellular service is available. Calling interfaces 602K (in <figref idref="f0015">FIG. 6K</figref>) and 602L (in <figref idref="f0015">FIG. 6L</figref>) are analogous to calling interfaces 602E (in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6E</figref>) and 602F (in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref>), respectively, except that cellular service is available. In <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K-6L</figref>, network indicator 607 indicates that a cellular service is available to initiate the call.

0163<figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K and 6L</figref> display computer system 600 with call management buttons 603. Call management buttons 603 are selectable buttons that provide functions for managing a call. Call management buttons include a mute button, keypad button, speaker button, add call button, video call button, and contacts button. In <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K and 6L</figref>, computer system 600 displays add call button and video call button as unselectable (e.g., grayed out) out while computer system 600 initiates a call. In some embodiments, in response to computer system 600 connecting the call with the recipients, call button and videocall button are indicated as selectable (e.g., not grayed out).

0164In <figref idref="f0015">FIG. 6K</figref>, the computer system 600 displays call management interface 602K in response to detecting input 610A on call button 606 of <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref> to attempt to initiate a call to emergency services. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays call management interface 602E in response to detecting input 610C on emergency SOS slider 608C of <figref idref="f0010">FIG. 6C</figref>. In contrast to call management interface 602E, connection indicator 605 in call management interface 602K displays that the call to emergency services is calling (e.g., as opposed to no connection in call management interface 602E).

0165In <figref idref="f0015">FIG. 6L</figref>, computer system 600 displays managing interface 602L in response to detecting input 610B on call button 606 of <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6B</figref> to attempt to initiate a call to a non-emergency entity. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays call management interface 602L in response to detecting input 610D on call button 606D of <figref idref="f0010">FIG. 6D</figref>. In contrast to call management interface 602F, connection indicator 605 in call management interface 602L displays that the call to non-emergency services is calling (e.g., as opposed to "CALL FAILED" in call management interface 602J).

0166<figref idref="f0016 f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025">FIGS. 6L1-6X4</figref> illustrate exemplary user interfaces for communicating in a low-bandwidth communication mode, in accordance with some embodiments. In <figref idref="f0016 f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024">FIGS. 6L1-6W</figref>, the computer system 600 determines that no terrestrial wireless communication network is available to transmit the communication. For some communications, such as emergency messages, it may be desirable to send a message despite no terrestrial wireless communication network being available. In such cases, a message can be sent via an alternative communication network where bandwidth is limited, such as via a satellite or peer-to-peer networks. In some embodiments, a limited bandwidth message (e.g., "low-bandwidth message") is a compressed message with limited data for transmission.

0167In <figref idref="f0016">FIG. 6L1</figref>, computer system 600 displays information interface 602L1, which provides the user with information about the process of sending a message via the alternative communication network. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0016">FIG. 6L1</figref>, computer system 600 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 when displaying information interface 602L1. Outputting a non-visual output (e.g., haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650) notifies the user that computer system 600 has proceeded in the process of sending a message via an alternative communication network if the user is not looking at display 601 (e.g., if computer system 600 or a display generation component of computer system 600 is against the user's ear).

0168Information interface 602L1 includes graphical instruction 604L1, textual instructions 606L1, notification 608L1, textual instructions 610L1, information sharing notification 612L1, and selectable continue option 614L1. Graphical instruction 604L1 includes a graphical representation of a satellite and a graphical representation of a user's hand holding a computer system (e.g., a smartphone and/or computer system 600) to graphically show that computer system 600 can be used to communicate via a satellite communication. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0016">FIG. 6L1</figref>, graphical instruction 604L1 includes an animation that shows the satellite moving along a path (e.g., a curve path represented by small dots) and/or the user's hand and/or computer system moving (e.g., side to side) to follow the satellite in order to demonstrate that the user can (or has to) move computer system 600 to align with a satellite. Textual instructions 606L1 instructs the user to be outside to get a connection between computer system 600 and a satellite. Notification 608L1 informs the user that messages sent via the alternative communication network (e.g., via satellite communication) will take longer to send than messages sent via a terrestrial network (e.g., a cellular network). Textual instructions 610L1 instruct the user to answer questions to get a faster response. Information sharing notification 612L1 informs the user that the user's location and medical information may be shared in the process of sending the communication via satellite. Selectable continue option 614L1 can be selected (e.g., via an input such as a tap or other selection input) to continue the process of sending a communication to an emergency service via satellite. In response to detecting selection 616L1 in <figref idref="f0016">FIG. 6L1</figref>, computer system 600 displays reporting interface 602M discussed with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>.

0169In <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019">FIGS. 6M-6Q</figref>, computer system 600 displays reporting interfaces 602M, 602N, 6020, 602P, and 602Q, which include first set of options 604M, second set of options 604N, third set of options 6040, fourth set of options 604P, and fifth set of options 604Q ("emergency options"), respectively. The selection(s) made to the emergency options are included in a low-bandwidth message that includes an emergency report. In some embodiments, the series of options are only available to communicate an emergency report when no terrestrial wireless communication network is available.

0170In some embodiments, computer system 600 connects to one or more satellites when no terrestrial wireless communication network is available to make a call. In the event the connection with the satellite is disrupted and the computer system 600 is not able to communicate with the satellite, computer system 600 can maintain display of the reporting interfaces 602M, 602N, 6020, 602P, and/or 602Q, and can continue to receive selections of the emergency options.

0171The emergency options display options corresponding to information for an emergency report. In response to inputs on the emergency options, the computer system 600 generates an emergency report without requiring display of a software keyboard. In some embodiments, the options provided by computer system 600 enable generation of a message capable of being transmitted by the low-bandwidth communication. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays the emergency options without displaying a messaging user interface that includes a messaging conversation and/or history of messages.

0172In <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>, computer system 600 displays reporting interface 602M. Reporting interface 602M includes an interface for receiving a selection of a type of emergency option via selection of an option from first set of options 604M. First set of options 604M includes selectable options for various types of emergencies (e.g., medical, police, fire, car or vehicle, and search and rescue). In response to receiving a selection of a type of emergency (e.g., an option of first set of options 604M), the type of emergency is included in the emergency report to be submitted to emergency services. For example, first set of options 604M includes medical option 606M and car or vehicle option 608M.

0173In <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>, skip button 616 indicates a selection of one of the options of first set of options 604M can be skipped. In response to receiving input 613M on skip option 616, computer system 600 displays user interface 602P described in <figref idref="f0019">FIG. 6P</figref>. Although the computer system 600 displays skip button 616 as being selectable in reporting interface 602M, in some embodiments the first set of options 604M are not skippable. Skippable emergency options display the skip button 616 to proceed to a subsequent set (e.g., a next set) of emergency options. If a set of options is not skippable, computer system 600 forgoes display of the skip button 616 (e.g., displays a user interface without displaying skip button 616). In some embodiments, skip button 616 is greyed out, to indicate skip button 616 is not selectable.

0174In <figref idref="f0018">FIGS. 6N-6O</figref>, computer system 600 displays reporting interfaces 602N and 6020, which include follow-up questions in response to selection of car or vehicle emergency option 608M and medical option 606M, respectively.

0175In <figref idref="f0018">FIG. 6N</figref>, reporting interface 602N includes second set of options 604N, and skip option 616. Second set of options 604N includes selectable follow-up options related to the car or vehicle emergency option 608M of <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>. In response to receiving a selection of a type of car or vehicle emergency (e.g., an option of second set of options 604N), the type of car or vehicle emergency is included in the emergency report to be submitted to emergency services. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays second set of options 602N based on the emergency type selected from first set of options 604M. In some embodiments, second set of options 602N are follow-up questions based on the emergency type selected from first set of options 604M.

0176Second set of options 604N includes vehicle crash option 606N and other option 618N. In response to receiving input 608N on vehicle crash option 606N, computer system 600 displays reporting interface 602P of <figref idref="f0019">FIG. 6P</figref>, described below.

Outputting a non-visual output (e.g., haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650) notifies the user that timer 610W and/or that the report has been sent if the user is not looking at display 601 (e.g., if computer system 600 or a display generation component of computer system 600 is against the user's ear).

0204In some embodiments, in response to not receiving an input on reporting and/or summary interfaces 602M, 602O, 602Q, 602N, 602P, 602Q, 602R, and/or 602S within a predetermined standby time limit (e.g., 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 1 minute), computer system 600 displays summary interface 602W with the emergency report summary 604W illustrating the corresponding information previously received.

0205<figref idref="f0025">FIGS. 6X-6X4</figref> illustrate embodiments of network indicator 607 and/or status portion 562a of a user interface (e.g., a status bar and/or a compacted status region) within area 654 of <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X</figref>. In <figref idref="f0025">FIGS. 6X1-6X4</figref>, network indicator 607 includes cellular status indicator 607a and Wi-Fi status indicator 607b. When computer system 600 has cellular service, cellular status indicator 607a includes a series of bars that indicate the strength of the cellular signal, as shown in <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X1</figref>. When computer system has Wi-Fi capability turned on, Wi-Fi status indicator 607b includes a series of fan-shaped bars that indicate the strength of the Wi-Fi signal, as shown in <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X1</figref>.

0206In <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X2</figref>, computer system 600 has Wi-Fi capability turned on and does not have cellular service from a respective (e.g., primary) cellular network, but is capable of communicating with emergency services (e.g., 911) via an alternative cellular network. When computer system 600 does not have cellular service from a respective cellular network, cellular status indicator 607a includes emergency indicator 607a1 and respective cellular network indicator 607a2. In <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X2</figref>, because computer system 600 is capable of communicating with emergency services via an alternative cellular network, emergency indicator 607a1 is visually distinguished (e.g., emphasized) relative to respective cellular network indicator 607a2 (e.g., emergency indicator 607a1 is bold and/or respective cellular network indicator 607a2 is greyed out or dimmer relative to emergency indicator 607a1).

0207In <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X3</figref>, computer system 600 has Wi-Fi capability turned on, does not have cellular service from a respective (e.g., primary) cellular network, and is not capable of communicating with emergency services via an alternative cellular network. Because computer system 600 is not capable of communicating with emergency services via an alternative cellular network, emergency indicator 607a1 is not visually distinguished relative to respective cellular network indicator 607a2 (e.g., emergency indicator 607a1 and respective cellular network indicator 607a2 are both greyed out, dimmed, or otherwise displayed with the same appearance).

0208In <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X4</figref>, computer system 600 has Wi-Fi capability turned off, does not have cellular service from a respective (e.g., primary) cellular network, and is not capable of communicating with emergency services via an alternative cellular network. Because computer system 600 is not capable of communicating with emergency services via an alternative cellular network, emergency indicator 607a1 is not visually distinguished relative to respective cellular network indicator 607a2 (e.g., the same as cellular status indicator 607a in <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X3</figref>). Because Wi-Fi capability is turned off and computer system 600 is capable of communicating via a satellite communication network, computer system 600 displays satellite status indicator 607c (e.g., a glyph, icon, thumbnail, and/or image of a satellite). In some embodiments, satellite status indicator 607c is displayed instead of Wi-Fi status indicator 607b and/or at the same location at which Wi-Fi status indicator 607b was displayed. In some embodiments, when computer system has Wi-Fi capability turned off, is not capable of communicating via a satellite communication network, and does not have cellular service for any purpose, computer system 600 displays network indicator 607 without Wi-Fi status indicator 607b and without satellite status indicator 607c. In some embodiments, if computer system 600 has Wi-Fi capability turned on, network indicator 607 includes Wi-Fi status indicator 607b (e.g., without or instead of satellite status indicator 607c) regardless of whether or not computer system 600 is capable of communicating via a satellite communication network.

0209In <figref idref="f0026">FIG. 6Y</figref>, computer system 600 displays user interface 602Y, which includes status portion 652b (e.g., an expanded status region). Status portion 652b is larger than status portion 652a. Because status portion 652b is larger than status portion 652a, network indicator 607 is displayed differently than in, e.g., <figref idref="f0025">FIGS. 6X-6X4</figref>. In <figref idref="f0026">FIG. 6Y</figref>, computer system 600 has Wi-Fi capability turned on, does not have cellular service from a respective cellular network, is capable of communicating with emergency services via an alternative cellular network, and is capable of communicating via a satellite communication network. As a results, emergency indicator 607a1 and respective cellular network indicator 607a2 are displayed side-by-side (e.g., emergency indicator 607a1 to the right of respective cellular network indicator 607a2) and emergency indicator 607a1 includes additional information (e.g., is expanded and/or includes additional text, such as "SOS Only" instead of just "SOS"). Also, computer system 600 concurrently displays both satellite status indicator 607c and Wi-Fi status indicator 607b (e.g., an expanded version of Wi-Fi status indicator 607b that includes the text "WiFi").

0210In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays user interface 602Y (and/or an expanded status region 652b) in response to detecting input 602X in <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X</figref> (e.g., regardless of the cellular, Wi-Fi, and/or satellite capability state of computer system 600 and/or status portion 652a). In some embodiments, computer system 600 can display status indicators in status portion 652b for any of the cellular, Wi-Fi, and/or satellite capability states represented in <figref idref="f0025">FIGS. 6X-6X4</figref> (e.g., an expanded status portion 652b equivalent to compacted status portion 652a in <figref idref="f0025">FIGS. 6X, 6X1, 6X2, 6X3, or 6X4</figref>).

0211In some embodiments, user interface 602Y is a control user interface (e.g., a control center) that includes selectable controls and/or options (e.g., 604Y) for controlling various functions of computer system 600 and/or setting parameters of features of computer system 600. For example, in <figref idref="f0026">FIG. 6Y</figref>, controls 604Y include options for an airplane mode, turning Wi-Fi on and off, turning Bluetooth on and off, turning cellular on and off, controlling media playback (e.g., play, pause, and/or skip), locking and unlocking display orientation, turning a flashlight function on and off, opening an alarm and/or timer application, opening a calculator application, opening a camera application, setting display brightness, setting audio volume level, and/or opening an application for controlling remote accessories.

0212<figref idref="f0027">FIG. 7</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating methods for initiating a communication when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable are described in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the method includes, when attempting to make a call, showing an emergency message button if cell service is not reachable. In some embodiments, the method can be implemented using the devices and user interfaces illustrated in <figref idref="f0009 f0010 f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014 f0015 f0016 f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6A-6Y</figref>. The method is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600; e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a smartwatch, or a head mounted device (e.g., a head mounted augmented reality and/or extended reality device)) that is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 601; e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system, and/or a head mounted display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., 601; a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, and/or a microphone). Some operations are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0213As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for initiating a communication when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable using a computer system. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for initiating a communication when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable using a computer system, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to initiate a communication when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable using faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0214The computer system detects (702), via the one or more input devices, a user input (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref> at input 610A) corresponding to a request to initiate a communication (e.g., a phone call, video conference, and/or a text message) (in some embodiments, detecting a voice command to initiate a call (e.g., an audio call) and/or an input corresponding to selection of an affordance that, when selected, causes the computer system to initiate a call) via the computer system.

0215In response to detecting the user input, the computer system displays (704), via the display generation component, a first user interface (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref> at call management interface 602G; e.g., a phone call user interface; a text messaging interface; and/or a video conference interface). Displaying the first user interface includes, in accordance with a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable (e.g., the computer system is unable to connect to a cellular network; and/or the computer system is not receiving a cellular signal with sufficient strength and/or consistency to perform a call (e.g., to emergency services) (in some embodiments, the terrestrial wireless communication network is a cellular network associated with the computer system (e.g., provided by the user's cellular service provider) or another cellular network (e.g., provided by another cellular service provider) (in some embodiments, for an emergency call, the computer system can use a network provided by a network provider other than a provider associated with the computer system) by the computer system (in some embodiments, the computer system displays the selectable communication option in accordance with a determination that the computer system is unable to place the call using a predetermined type of communication protocol (e.g., cellular communication) and/or a determination that the computer system is unable to communicate via a predetermined type of signal (e.g., is not receiving the predetermined type of signal at a threshold (e.g., sufficient) level), displaying (706) a respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G; e.g., an affordance, button, graphical element, graphical object, and/or icon) that, when selected via the one or more input devices, initiates a process for communicating (e.g., via phone call, text message, and/or video conference) (in some embodiments, the communication is a real-time (e.g., full duplex real time) communication) via a non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., via a communication protocol that does not require cellular service and/or a low-bandwidth communication mode). Displaying the first user interface includes, in accordance with a determination that a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system (e.g., the computer system is able to connect to a cellular network; and/or the computer system receives a cellular signal with sufficient strength and/or consistency to perform a call (e.g., to emergency services)), initiating (708) a process for communicating (e.g., initiating a call, a text message, and/or video conference), via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network, without displaying the respective selectable communication option. Displaying the respective selectable communication option that, when selected, initiates a process for communicating via a non-terrestrial wireless communication network or initiating the process for communicating via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network, without displaying the respective selectable communication option, depending on whether or not a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system provides the user with visual feedback about whether a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system and provides an alternative communication method when a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0216In some embodiments, the computer system, while displaying the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G), attempts (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0010">FIGS. 6C and 6D</figref>) (e.g., continuing to attempt) to initiate a process for communicating via a respective terrestrial wireless communication network; and detects, via the one or more input devices, a selection (e.g., 606G) of the respective selectable communication option. In response to detecting the selection of the respective selectable communication option, the computer system ceases to attempt to initiate the process for communicating via the terrestrial wireless communication network. Ceasing to attempt to initiate the process for communicating via the terrestrial wireless communication network in response to detecting a selection of the respective selectable communication option automatically ceases attempting to communicate via one method when a user selects an option for communicating via a different method without requiring additional user input, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0217In some embodiments, the first user interface (e.g., 602G) includes displaying (e.g., initially displaying), in the first user interface, a cancel communication option (e.g., 609; an "end call" affordance, button, or icon) that, when selected via the one or more input devices, initiates a process to stop attempting to initiate the communication. In some embodiments, the first user interface includes the cancel communication option regardless of whether or not a terrestrial wireless communication network is determined to be reachable or not reachable. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the cancel communication option in the user interface prior to displaying the respective selectable communication option (e.g., the cancel communication option is initially displayed in response to detecting the user input and then the respective selectable communication option is displayed later after a determination is made that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable). In some embodiments, displaying the respective selectable communication option includes moving the cancel communication option. Displaying a cancel communication option that, when selected, initiates a process to stop attempting to initiate the communication provides an efficient way to stop attempting to initiate the communication whether or not a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0218In some embodiments, while displaying the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G), the computer system attempts (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0010">FIGS. 6C and 6D</figref>) (e.g., continuing to attempt) to initiate a process for communicating via a respective terrestrial wireless communication network. Attempting to initiate a process for communicating via a respective terrestrial wireless communication network while displaying the respective selectable communication option allows the computer system to continue to attempt one communication method (e.g., a potentially superior communication method) without additional user input while concurrently providing the user with an option to communicate via another method, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0219In some embodiments, displaying the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G) occurs in accordance with a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable and that the communication is an emergency communication (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>; e.g., a communication to emergency services). Displaying the respective selectable communication option in accordance with a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable and that the communication is an emergency communication provides the user with an alternative communication method and indicates to the user that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable, which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been me without requiring further user input and provides improved visual feedback.

0220In some embodiments, the determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system includes a determination that a first terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., a network band not associated with the carrier of the computer system) not associated (e.g., not previously associated) with the computer system is not reachable by the computer system (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014">FIGS. 6E-6J</figref>, the computer system tries other carrier cellular networks). In some embodiments, the determination that a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system includes a determination that the first terrestrial wireless communication network that is not associated with the computer system is reachable by the computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system attempts to initiate the communication via two or more terrestrial wireless communication networks (e.g., a plurality of or all networks that the computer system is capable of communicating with when reachable), and determines that none of the two or more terrestrial wireless communication networks are reachable by the computer system. In some embodiments, a computer system is associated with a terrestrial wireless communication network if the network is the home network of the computer system or the computer system is registered or associated with a subscriber account of the network. Including a determination that a first terrestrial wireless communication network not associated with the computer system is not reachable by the computer system in the determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system allows the reachability of terrestrial wireless communication networks not associated with the computer system to be considered in determining if the respective selectable communication option is to be displayed, which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0221In some embodiments, the first user interface (e.g., 602G) includes a plurality of selectable phone call options (e.g., 603; e.g., options to control a phone call (e.g., speaker, mute, keypad, contacts). In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface includes concurrently displaying the plurality of selectable phone call options and the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G). In some embodiments, the first user interface is a user interface of a phone call application. Including a plurality of selectable phone call options in the first user interface along with the respective selectable communication option allows a user to initiate a process for communication via a non-terrestrial wireless communication network from a call user interface without requiring additional inputs to navigate away from the call user interface, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0222In some embodiments, the user input corresponding to the request to initiate the communication includes one or more inputs directed to a second user interface (e.g., 902A; e.g., entry of a phone number (e.g., 911) and, optionally, selection of a "call" button in a keypad on a phone number entry user interface and/or selection of a contactable entity (e.g., person or service) in a contacts user interface). The request to initiate the communication is a request to initiate a communication with an emergency service (e.g., an attempted call to 911). Displaying the first user interface, including the respective selectable communication option in accordance with a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable, in response to detecting a request to initiate a communication with an emergency service indicates to the user that an alternative communication method is available in emergency situations and provides an efficient way to initiate communication via the alternative communication method without additional user inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs need to perform an operation.

0223In some embodiments, the computer system detects, via the one or more input devices, an input (e.g., 606G) corresponding to selection of the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G; e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on the respective selectable communication option). In response to detecting the input corresponding to selection of the respective selectable communication option, the computer system initiates the process for communicating (e.g., via text message) via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., initiating a process to communicate using a low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., a mode in which a compressed message format is used to communicate). Initiating the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network in response to detecting input corresponding to selection of the respective selectable communication option provides an efficient and intuitive technique for initiating communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network without additional user inputs, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0224In some embodiments, the computer system, in accordance with a determination that the terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable and that a predetermined period of time (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>; e.g., a non-zero amount of time, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and/or 10 seconds) has passed since detecting the input corresponding to the request to initiate a communication (or, optionally, since the respective selectable communication option has been displayed), initiates the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., the respective selectable communication option is automatically selected (without user input) after a predetermined amount of time). In some embodiments, the computer system initiates the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network after (e.g., a predetermined amount of time after) detecting the input corresponding to the request to initiate a communication without detecting further input via the one or more input devices. Initiating the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network in accordance with a determination that the terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable and that a predetermined period of time has passed since detecting the input corresponding to the request to initiate a communication automatically initiates the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network without additional user input, which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0225In some embodiments, the computer system displays a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a countdown (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>, satellite communication button 604I indicates a countdown of remaining time); of a remaining time until the predetermined period of time expires. In some embodiments, the computer system replaces the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G) with the visual indication of the countdown or modifies the respective selectable communication option to include the visual indication of the countdown. In some embodiments, the computer system switches from the first user interface (e.g., 602G) (e.g., a call user interface) to a countdown user interface (e.g., 602I) (e.g., replaces the first user interface with the countdown user interface) that includes the visual indication of the countdown. Displaying a visual indication of a countdown of a remaining time until the predetermined period of time expires provides the user with notice of when the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network will be initiated, which provides improved visual feedback.

0226In some embodiments, the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network includes displaying (e.g., in response to detecting selection of the respective selectable communication option (e.g., 604G) and/or a determination that predetermined time criteria has been met) a second user interface (e.g., 604M) (e.g., a low-bandwidth communication mode user interface and/or an emergency reporting user interface) that is different from the first user interface (e.g., 602G) (e.g., ceasing to display the first user interface and, optionally, replacing the first user interface with the second user interface). In some embodiments, the second user interface includes a series of questions and/or selectable options and/or text entry field(s) (e.g., 604M) for generating a message, rather than, e.g., an open audio channel. Displaying a second user interface that is different from the first user interface as part of the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network allows the computer system to provide additional options and guide a user through the process for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface and improved visual feedback.

0227In some embodiments, communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network includes communication via a text message or an audio call (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref>). Including communication via a text message or an audio call provides the user with low-bandwidth options for communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0228In some embodiments, communicating via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network includes initiating a communication session via (or performed at least partially via) the non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., by selecting satellite communication button 604G, 604I, 904A, 1520B5, or 1534C6). In some embodiments, after initiating the communication session via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network is active (or, optionally, while the communication session via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network is active), the computer system: detects a user input (e.g., 618M) (e.g., detecting a voice command and/or a touch gesture corresponding to selection of a selectable user interface element) corresponding to a request to end the communication session (e.g., selection of end button 614); and in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to end the communication session, provides (e.g., displays) a prompt (e.g., 620M2 in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M1</figref>) (e.g., a button, a notification, an affordance, a selectable confirmation option, and/or a selectable graphical element) to confirm the request to end the communication session. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input selecting the prompt to confirm the request to end the communication session, the computer system causes the communication session to end. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to end the communication session, the computer system does not cause (e.g., forgoes causing) the communication session to end, e.g., until receiving the user input selecting the prompt to confirm the request to end the communication session. Providing a prompt to confirm the request to end the communication session provides feedback that the user has requested to end the communication session and can prevent a user from unintentionally ending the communication session through an unintended input, which provides improved visual feedback. Preventing the user from unintentionally ending the communication session avoids additional time and user inputs to reestablish the communication session, which enables the user to operate the computer system with fewer errors and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0229In some embodiments, in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that a first respective terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., a primary cellular network, a cellular network associated with the computer system, and/or a cellular network of a service provider associated with the computer system) is not reachable by the computer system, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, an indication (e.g., 607, 607a1, 607c, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of a communication capability of the computer system (e.g., an indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate with a respective number or entity, such as an emergency number or emergency service); and in accordance with a determination that the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system, the computer system forgoes display of the indication of the communication capability status of the computer system. In some embodiments, the indication of the communication capability of the computer system is displayed in a portion of a user interface that includes one or more indicators of a status of the computer system (e.g., cellular status, Wi-Fi status, time, short range communication status, and/or battery level). In some embodiments, the indication of the communication capability of the computer system is displayed at a location of a display and/or user interface at which a cellular status indicator is displayed when cellular service is available. Displaying an indication of communication capability of the computer system based on whether or not a respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system automatically provides clear feedback to a user about the communication capability of the computer system when the communication capability of the computer system is limited without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0230In some embodiments, displaying the indication of the communication capability of the computer system includes displaying a first communication status indicator (e.g., 607a1, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that indicates the capability of the computer system to communicate (e.g., with a respective number or entity, such as an emergency number or emergency service) via a terrestrial wireless communication network other than the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., a cellular network different from a cellular network associated with the computer system). Displaying a first communication status indicator that indicates the capability of the computer system to communicate via a terrestrial wireless communication network other than the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network automatically informs a user about the ability to communicate via a terrestrial wireless communication network (which can be faster and consume less energy than a non-terrestrial communication network) when the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0231In some embodiments, displaying the first communication status indicator includes: in accordance with a determination that a second respective terrestrial wireless communication network that is different from the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system, displaying the first communication status indicator having a first appearance (e.g., in solid line, in black line, a first color, a first brightness, highlighted, emphasized, and/or not greyed out; e.g., 607a1 in <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X2</figref>). Displaying the first communication status indicator having a first appearance in accordance with a determination that a second respective terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system automatically informs a user that another terrestrial wireless communication network (which can be faster and consume less energy than a non-terrestrial communication network) is reachable, even though the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable, without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0232In some embodiments, displaying the first communication status indicator includes: in accordance with a determination that no terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system, displaying the first communication status indicator having a second appearance (e.g., in broken line, in grey line, a second color different from the first color, a second brightness dimmer than the first brightness, not highlighted relative to the first appearance, deemphasized relative to the first appearance, and/or greyed out; e.g., 607a1 in <figref idref="f0025">FIG. 6X3, 6X4</figref>, or 6X5) that is different from the first appearance of the first communication status indicator. Displaying the first communication status indicator having a second appearance in accordance with a determination that no terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system automatically informs a user that no other terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable when the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability of the computer system and indicates to the user that an alternative means of communication (e.g., via a user interface for satellite communication) may be required, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0233In some embodiments, displaying the indication of the communication capability of the computer system includes: in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system (and, optionally, that communication via a Wi-Fi network is not available to the computer system and/or that a Wi-Fi capability of the computer system is turned off), displaying a second communication status indicator (e.g., 607c, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph; an image and/or icon of a satellite) that is different from the first communication status indicator. In some embodiments, the second communication status indicator is displayed in accordance with a determination that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system and that a Wi-Fi capability of the computer system is disabled (e.g., turned off). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system and that a Wi-Fi capability of the computer system is enabled (e.g., turned on), the computer system forgoes display of the second communication status indicator (e.g., the second communication status indicator is not displayed if Wi-Fi is turned on). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the second communication status indicator in an expanded status bar (e.g., in a control user interface, such as a control center, that includes selectable options for controlling features of the computer system), but not in a non-expanded status bar (e.g., in a user interface other than the control user interface, such as a home screen, wake screen, lock screen, or application user interface). Displaying a second communication status indicator in accordance with a determination that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system automatically informs a user that an alternative wireless communication network is reachable when the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0234In some embodiments, the computer system displays, concurrently with the indication of the communication capability of the computer system, an indication (e.g., 607b, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of Wi-Fi connectivity (e.g., an indication of whether or not the computer system is connected to a Wi-Fi network). In some embodiments, displaying the indication of Wi-Fi connectivity is performed in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that communication via a Wi-Fi network is available to the computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the indication of Wi-Fi connectivity in response to detecting a request to enable Wi-Fi connectivity (e.g., a user input selecting a button for enabling Wi-Fi connectivity). Displaying an indication of Wi-Fi connectivity concurrently with the indication of the communication capability of the computer system informs a user about the ability of the computer system to communicate via Wi-Fi connectivity when the first respective terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the Wi-Fi connectivity of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0235In some embodiments, displaying the indication (e.g., 607b) of Wi-Fi connectivity includes displaying the indication of Wi-Fi connectivity without displaying an indication (e.g., 607c, the second communication status indicator, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system (or, in some embodiments, that the computer system is capable of communicating via a non-terrestrial wireless communication network). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that communication via a Wi-Fi network is available to the computer system and that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system, the computer system displays the indication of Wi-Fi connectivity instead of (e.g., without displaying) the second communication status indicator and/or replaces the second communication status indicator with the indication of Wi-Fi connectivity. Displaying the indication of Wi-Fi connectivity without displaying an indication that a non-terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system informs a user about the ability of the computer system to communicate via Wi-Fi connectivity, which can be faster, easier to connect to, and/or more reliable than non-terrestrial wireless communication network without requiring the user to navigate a user interface to determine the Wi-Fi connectivity of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0236In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface includes: before displaying the respective selectable communication option, displaying the first user interface (e.g., 602E) without the respective selectable communication option (e.g., displaying 602E without 604G), and wherein displaying the respective communication option in accordance with a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system is performed after (and, in some embodiments, in accordance with or in response to a determination that) an attempt (e.g., by the computer system) to initiate a communication (e.g., a phone call) via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network has failed (e.g., after the call in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6E</figref> has failed). Foregoing display of the respective selectable communication option until after an attempt to initiate a communication via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network has failed enables the computer system to attempt communication via a faster and/or more reliable network before providing the option to communicate via a non-terrestrial wireless communication network and indicates to the user that the attempt to initiate a communication via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network has failed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0237In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface includes displaying an end call button (e.g., 609) in a first position in the first user interface (e.g., 609 in <figref idref="f0011">FIG. 6F</figref>), wherein the end call button, when selected, causes the computer system to stop attempting to initiate the communication via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system (and, in some embodiments, after (or in accordance with or in response to a determination that) an attempt to initiate a communication via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network has failed), the computer system displays the end call button in a second position (e.g., 609 in <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F1</figref> or 6F2) in the first user interface that is different from the first position in the first user interface. In some embodiments, the computer system moves or slides the end call button to the second position (e.g., via an animation over time) and displays the respective selectable communication option at or adjacent to the first position in the first user interface. Changing the position of the end call button in accordance with the determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system makes room on the user interface for the respective selectable communication option and informs a user that the terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable and/or that an attempt to initiate a communication via the respective terrestrial wireless communication network has failed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0238In some embodiments, in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) the determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system, the computer system provides (e.g., outputting and/or producing) a non-visual output (e.g., 619, 650, a haptic and/or audio output) (e.g., concurrently with displaying the respective selectable communication option) (e.g., 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0012">FIG. 6F2</figref>). Providing a non-visual output in accordance with the determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system informs the user that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system (e.g., if the computer system is up against the user's ear when attempting to make a call to an emergency service) or the display of the computer system is dimmed or inactive, which provides improved feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about the communication status of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0239Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, method 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700. For example, method 700 can be performed as part of a process for initiating a communication in accordance with method 800. For example, method 700 optionally includes providing an alignment element in accordance with method 1000. For example, method 700 can include selecting a second recipient for the communication, in accordance with method 1200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

0240<figref idref="f0028">FIG. 8</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating methods for initiating a communication when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable is described in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the method includes, while in emergency reporting mode, displaying options for an emergency report, receiving options and sending an emergency report with the received options. In some embodiments, the method can be implemented using the devices and user interfaces illustrated in <figref idref="f0009 f0010 f0011 f0012 f0013 f0014 f0015 f0016 f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6A-6Y</figref>. The method is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600; e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smartwatch, or a head mounted device (e.g., a head mounted augmented reality and/or extended reality device)) that is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 601; e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system, and/or a head mounted display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., 601; a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, and/or a microphone). Some operations are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0241As described below, method 800 provides an intuitive way for communicating in a low-bandwidth mode. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user communicating in a low-bandwidth mode, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to communicate in a low-bandwidth mode faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0242While the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode (802) (in some embodiments, a mode in which a compressed message format (e.g., a format with limited data for transmission via non-terrestrial wireless communication) is used to communicate. In some embodiments, the computer system enters the low-bandwidth communication mode in response to receiving a request to enter the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., in response to receiving a request to communicate via a non-terrestrial wireless communication)), the computer system displays (804), via the display generation component, a first set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 604M; e.g., affordances, buttons, graphical elements, graphical objects, and/or icons) corresponding to respective content for a communication (e.g., information that can be selected by a user to be included in the report), wherein the first set of selectable communication-content options are specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., the options are only available and/or presented for the low-bandwidth communication mode) (in some embodiments, the options are not presented in a messaging user interface of a messaging application that displays a message conversation and/or a field for composing a message for the message conversation.);

0243While the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system detects (806), via the one or more input devices, a first set of one or more inputs (e.g., 610M or 612M; e.g., touch inputs) corresponding to selection of a first communication-content option (e.g., 606M or 608M) of the first set of selectable communication-content options.

0244While the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode and after (e.g., in response to) detecting the first set of one or more inputs, the computer system displays (808), via the display generation component, a second set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 604N or 604O; e.g., affordances, buttons, graphical elements, graphical objects, and/or icons (in some embodiments, the second set of selectable communication-content options are different from the first set of selectable communication-content options)) corresponding to respective content for the communication (e.g., information that can be selected by a user to be included in the report) (e.g., and ceasing to display the first set of two or more selectable communication-content options, optionally including ceasing to display a representation of the selected communication-content option of the first set of two or more selectable communication-content options), wherein the second set of selectable communication-content options are specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode. Displaying sets of selectable communication-content options (e.g., the first set and the second set) that are specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode and which correspond to respective content for the communication allows the computer system to provide feedback that assists a user in providing concise and pertinent information in the communication when bandwidth is constrained, which provides improved visual feedback and additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0245While the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system detects (810), via the one or more input devices, a second set of one or more inputs (e.g., 608N or 608O; e.g., touch inputs) corresponding to selection of a second communication-content option (e.g., 608N or 608O) of the second set of selectable communication-content options.

0246While the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system detects (812) an input (e.g., 604R or 604S) corresponding to a request to send a communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option (e.g., a touch input (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on a send affordance (e.g., 606R or 606S) and/or a send voice command and/or selection of a final communication-content option in a sequence of communication-content options).

0247In response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to send the communication, the computer system sends (814) the communication (e.g., via non-terrestrial wireless communication) including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs.

0248In some embodiments, the first set of selectable communication-content options includes three or more selectable communication-content options specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>; e.g., the first communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs is one of the three or more selectable communication content options of the first set of selectable communication-content options). In some embodiments, the second set of selectable communication-content options includes three or more selectable communication-content options specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>; e.g., the second communication-content option selected by the second set of one or more inputs is one of the three or more selectable communication content options of the second set of selectable communication-content options). Including three or more selectable communication-content option specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode in the first set of selectable communication-content options and the second set of selectable communication-content options provides the user with various options to select in an organized manner, which provides improved visual feedback and additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0249In some embodiments, the second set of communication-content options are based on (e.g., displayed based on, related to, selected in accordance with, and/or specific to) the selection of the first communication-content option (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018">FIGS 6M-6O</figref>, second set of options 604N and/or third set of options 604O are as specific to the selected car or vehicle option 604M, vehicle crash option 606N). In some embodiments, the second set of communication-content options are selected (e.g., by the computer system) from a set of available communication-content options based on the first communication-content option selected by the user. In some embodiments, the first set of selectable communication-content options provides options corresponding to different types of emergencies (e.g., fire, medical, or police), and the second set of selectable communication-content options provides options related to the type of emergency corresponding to the first communication-content option selected by the user. For example, if the first communication-content option selected by the user corresponds to a first type of emergency (e.g., a medical emergency), then the second set of selectable communication-content options includes a first set of options related to the first type of emergency (e.g., the medial emergency); and if the first communication-content option selected by the user corresponds to a second type of emergency (e.g., a fire emergency) different from the first type of emergency, then the second set of selectable communication-content options includes a second (e.g., different) set of options related to the second type of emergency (e.g., the fire emergency). Basing the second set of communication-content options on the selection of the first communication-content option allows the computer system to select and display options for the second set of communication-content options that are relevant to the user, which provides improved visual feedback.

0250In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options and the second set of communication-content options are displayed without displaying (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018">FIGS. 6M-6O</figref>, and <figref idref="f0022">6V</figref>, first set of options 604M, second set of options 604N, and/or third set of options 604O are displayed without keyboard 608V; without concurrently displaying) a software keyboard (e.g., an EMOJI keyboard and/or QWERTY keyboard). Displaying the first set of communication-content options and the second set of communication-content options are displayed without displaying a software keyboard allows the computer system to provide the user with relevant options that can be selected quickly and easily without cluttering the user interface with more time-consuming and bandwidth-consuming input methods, which improves visual feedback, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0251In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options occupy more than half of a display region (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>, first set of options 604M occupy more than half of reporting interface 602M; a display, user interface, or application window); and the second set of communication-content options occupy more than half of the display region (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0018">FIGS. 6N-6O</figref>, second set of options 604N, and/or third set of options 604O occupy more than half of reporting interface 602N and reporting interface 602O, respectively). In some embodiments, one or more objects other than the first or second set of communication-content options occupy less than half of the display region (e.g., a messaging UI). Having the first set of communication-content options occupy more than half of a display region and the second set of communication-content options occupy more than half of the display region directs the user's attention to the communication-content options and makes the options easier to view and select, which provides improved visual feedback.

0252In some embodiments, displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options includes displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options without displaying (e.g., without concurrently displaying) a messaging user interface (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018">FIGS. 6M-6O</figref>, and <figref idref="f0021">6T-6U</figref>, first set of options 604M, second set of options 604N, and/or third set of options 604O are displayed without displaying reporting interface 602; e.g., a user interface that includes a messaging conversation and/or history) (in some embodiments, displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options includes ceasing to display a messaging user interface). In some embodiments, displaying the second set of selectable communication-content options includes displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options without displaying the messaging user interface (in some embodiments, displaying the second set of selectable communication-content options includes ceasing to display the messaging user interface). Displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options and the second set of selectable communication-content options without displaying a messaging user interface provides the user with the ability to generate content for a communication without requiring additional inputs to navigate to an operate a messaging user interface, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0253In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system, the computer system enters the low-bandwidth communication mode. In some embodiments, the low-bandwidth communication mode is only available (e.g., entered) when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020">FIGS. 6M-6S</figref>). In some embodiments, the first set of selectable communication-content options and/or the second set of selectable communication-content options are not provided if a terrestrial wireless communication network is reachable by the computer system (e.g., if the computer system is not in the low-bandwidth communication mode). In some embodiments, the first set of selectable communication-content options and/or the second set of selectable communication-content options are provided only when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system (e.g., only when the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode). Entering the low-bandwidth communication mode in response to a determination that a terrestrial wireless communication network is not reachable by the computer system provides the user with the low-bandwidth communication mode without requiring additional inputs, which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0254In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options include one or more options that identify a type of emergency (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>; e.g., fire, medical, and/or police). In some embodiments, the first and/or second set of communication-content options allow a user to select a type of emergency from an enumerated set of emergencies (e.g., the computer system displays different options corresponding to different types of emergencies). Including one or more options that identify a type of emergency in the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options provides the user with a quick and efficient technique of specifying a type of emergency in the communication without additional inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0255In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options include one or more options that identify a person (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0018">FIG. 6O</figref>; e.g., for emergencies, who needs help and/or the name of the person in need). Including one or more options that identify a person in the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options provides the user with a quick and efficient technique of specifying a person in the communication without additional inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0256In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options include one or more options that indicate a status (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0019">FIG. 6Q</figref>; e.g., injured, lost, in danger, physical status, and/or medical status) of a person. Including one or more options that indicate a status of a person in the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options provides the user with a quick and efficient technique of specifying a status of a person in the communication without additional inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0257In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options include an option to alert emergency contacts (e.g., notify affordance 1102E; e.g., an option to communicate with a predefined set of contactable entities). In some embodiments, the computer system provides a capability (e.g., user interface(s), menu(s), and/or selectable options) for a user to select a list of people to which the communication is to be sent. Including an option to alert emergency contacts in the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options provides the user with a quick and efficient technique of choosing recipients of the communication without additional inputs (e.g., to navigate to a contacts application), which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0258In some embodiments, displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options and/or the second set of selectable communication-content options includes displaying a selectable option (e.g., 618N; e.g., an "other" option to insert a narrative response) to include text in the communication that, when selected, displays (e.g., initiates display of) a keyboard (e.g., 608V; e.g., a soft keyboard and/or a keyboard that was not displayed prior to selection of the option to include text in the communication). In some embodiments, the option to include text in the communication limits the amount of text and/or characters that can be selected for inclusion in the communication (e.g., to 50, 100, or 200 characters). Displaying a selectable option to include text in the communication that, when selected, displays a keyboard provides the user with a quick and efficient technique of typing text to include in the communication without additional inputs (e.g., to display the keyboard), which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0259In some embodiments, while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode and before sending the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs: the computer system displays, via the display generation component, a third set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 604P or 604Q), wherein one or more of the selectable communication-content options in the third set of selectable communication-content options is required to be selected in order to send the communication; and the computer system displays, via the display generation component, a fourth set of selectable communication-content options, wherein sending the communication occurs without selection of any of the selectable communication-content options in the fourth set of selectable communication-content options. Displaying a third set of selectable communication-content options, where one or more of the selectable communication-content options in the third set of selectable communication-content options is required to be selected in order to send the communication, and displaying a fourth set of selectable communication-content options, where sending the communication occurs without selection of any of the selectable communication-content options in the fourth set of selectable communication-content options, allows the computer system to indicate to a user that selection of certain options is considered critical to the communication and provides the user with the ability to choose not to select potentially less critical options, which provides improved visual feedback.

0260In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the first set of selectable communication-content options can be skipped (e.g., is not required (e.g., the content of a selection from the set of selectable communication-content options is not necessary) to proceed to the next communication-content option), the first set of selectable communication-content options includes a skip option (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref> at 616; a selectable affordance that does not provide content for sending via the communication (in some embodiments, selection of the skip option displays the next communication-content option)). In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the first set of selectable communication-content option cannot be skipped (e.g., is required to proceed to the next communication-content option), the first set of selectable communication-content options is displayed without displaying a skip option. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the second set of selectable communication-content options can be skipped, the second set of selectable communication-content options includes a skip option (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0018">FIGS. 6N-6O</figref> at 616). In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the second set of selectable communication-content option cannot be skipped, the second set of selectable communication-content options is displayed without displaying a skip option. Displaying a set of selectable communication-content options with or without displaying a skip option based on whether the set of selectable communication-content options can or cannot be skipped allows the computer system to indicate to a user that selection of certain options is considered critical to the communication and provides the user with the ability to choose not to select potentially less critical options, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0261In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first set of one or more inputs corresponding to selection of the first communication-content option and in accordance with a determination that the first communication-content option is a first type of communication-content option (e.g., a medical affordance for medical type emergencies and/or a type requiring follow-up questions related to the selection), the computer system displays a fifth set of selectable communication-content options corresponding to respective content for the communication (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020">FIGS. 6M-6S</figref>; e.g., affordances, buttons, graphical elements, graphical objects, and/or icons). In some embodiments, the fifth set of selectable communication-content options are different from the first and second sets of selectable communication-content options (e.g., the fifth set of selectable communication-content options are specific to the first type (e.g., options related to the medical type emergency, such as, e.g., who is injured and/or what is their status)). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first set of one or more inputs corresponding to selection of the first communication-content option and in accordance with a determination the first communication-content option is a second type of communication content option (e.g., a type requiring no follow-up questions related to the selection) different from the first type, the computer system forgoes display of the fifth set of selectable communication-content options. Displaying or forgoing display of the fifth set of selectable communication-content options corresponding to respective content for the communication based on the type of communication-content option of the selected first communication-content option automatically provides the user with relevant follow-on options (or not) based on previous input, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0262In some embodiments, after detecting the second set of one or more inputs and before sending the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, a representation of at least a portion of (e.g., a summary of or a preview of) the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0020">FIGS. 6R-6S</figref>). Displaying a representation of at least a portion of the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs after detecting the second set of one or more inputs and before sending the communication provides the user with a summary of the content that will be included in the communication, which provides improved visual feedback.

0263In some embodiments, after (e.g., in response to) detecting the second set of one or more inputs (e.g., includes detecting the selectable communication-content options that have been selected (e.g., a plurality of or all selectable communication-content options have been selected)): the computer system displays, via the display generation component, a send option (e.g., 606R or 606S); and the computer system detects selection of the send option (e.g., an input (a touch input (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on a send affordance or selection of a final communication-content option in a sequence of communication-content options)). In response to detecting the selection of the send option, the computer system initiates a process that includes sending the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option. In some embodiments, the computer system sends the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option in response to detecting the selection of the send option (e.g., automatically or without detecting further input). Displaying a send option after detecting the second set of one or more inputs indicates to the user that the communication can be sent and/or that no further options need to be selected to send the communication and provides an efficient technique for sending the communication, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0264In some embodiments, the computer system displays (e.g., in response to selection of a final communication-content option, in response to detecting the selection of the send option, and/or concurrently with the send option), via the display generation component (e.g., 601), a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a countdown (e.g., 610R or 610S; e.g., a timer including numbers or pictorial time remaining) of a predetermined time period (e.g., five seconds, ten seconds, or thirty seconds); and in response to a determination that the predetermined time period has elapsed without detecting a selection of the send option, the computer system sends the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs (e.g., automatically sending the communication once the countdown has expired). Displaying a visual indication of a countdown of a predetermined time period and sending the communication in response to a determination that the predetermined time period has elapsed without detecting a selection of the send option provides the user with a visual indication that the communication will be sent and allows the computer system to send the communication without further user input, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0265In some embodiments, in response to a determination a threshold time period has passed after displaying a respective selectable communication-content option (e.g., the first set of communication-content options, the second set of communication-content options, or a different set of communication-content options) without detecting, via the one or more input devices, a selection of the respective selectable communication-content option (e.g., if received a selection of the second communication-content option but no selection of a third communication-content option), the computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) sends a communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0024">FIG. 6W</figref>; the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option). Sending a communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options in response to a determination a threshold time period has passed after displaying a respective selectable communication-content option without detecting a selection of the respective selectable communication-content option allows the computer system to automatically send a communication based on previously-selected options if a user stops making selections for a threshold amount of time, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0266In some embodiments, before sending the communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options, the computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) displays a visual indication of a countdown (e.g., 610W) indicating a remaining time until the communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options will be sent (e.g., without further user input). Displaying a visual indication of a countdown indicating a remaining time until the communication will be sent provides the user with notice that the communication will be automatically sent without further input, which provides improved visual feedback.

0267In some embodiments, before sending the communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options (e.g., while displaying the visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of the countdown indicating the remaining time until the communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options will be sent), the computer system displays a selectable cancel sending option (e.g., 608W) that, when selected, causes the computer system to forego sending the communication including content corresponding to detected selections of communication-content options. In some embodiments, the cancel sending option, when selected, causes the computer system to cease the countdown (e.g., cease display of the visual indication of the countdown). Displaying a selectable cancel sending option before sending the communication provides the user with an indication that sending the communication can be canceled and provides an efficient technique for canceling sending of the communication, with provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0268In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying the selectable communication-content option, the display generation component is deactivated (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIGS. 6M</figref>, <figref idref="f0018">6N</figref>, <figref idref="f0018">6O</figref>, <figref idref="f0019">6P, or 6Q</figref>, and as shown and described in <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11B</figref>; e.g., turned off, dimmed, in a sleep state, and/or in a low-power state). In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the threshold time period has passed without detecting the selection of the respective selectable communication-content option, the computer system activates the display generation component. Activating the display generation component in response to a determination that the threshold time period has passed without detecting the selection of the respective selectable communication-content option brings the user's attention to the display generation component and prompts the user to provide an input, with provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0269In some embodiments, the communication includes emergency information (e.g., medical ID) and a location of the computer system (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0021">FIGS. 6T-6U</figref>; in addition to the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs, as well as content corresponding to any other communication-content options that were selected or questions that were answered). Including emergency information and a location of the computer system in the communication provides relevant information in the communication automatically without requiring additional user input, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0270In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to send the communication, the computer system displays a user interface of a messaging application (e.g., 602T or 602U). In some embodiments, the user interface of the messaging application includes a message conversation, where the message conversation includes a message (e.g., 620T or 620U) in the conversation (e.g., a conversation transcript) that includes emergency information, a location of the computer system, and the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs, as well as content corresponding to any other communication-content options that were selected or questions that were answered). Displaying a user interface of a messaging application in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to send the communication provides the messaging application to the user automatically when the communication is sent, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0271In some embodiments, the user interface of the messaging application includes a message compose field (e.g., 616T or 616U; e.g., for drafting additional messages for the message conversation). Including a message compose field in the user interface of the messaging application provides the user with an efficient technique for sending a follow-up communication after the communication is sent, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0272In some embodiments, after (e.g., in response to) sending the communication, the computer system displays an alignment element (e.g., 930; e.g., a "fan" graphic and/or an indicator of a direction to orient the computer system) (in some embodiments, the alignment element includes an arrow pointing in a direction to rotate the computer system, and/or or a picture of a satellite shown in space relative to the computer system) at a first size; and after displaying the alignment element at the first size, the computer system ceases to display the alignment element at the first size and displaying the alignment element at a second size that is smaller than the first size (e.g., within a top third or less of the display and/or as a banner). Displaying an alignment element at a first size after sending the communication and displaying the alignment element at a second size that is smaller than the first size after displaying the alignment element at the first size provides the user with alignment information after the communication and reduces the prominence of the information as time passes, which provides improved visual feedback.

0273In some embodiments, the computer system concurrently displays, with the alignment element (e.g., in the banner), a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a sending status of the communication (e.g., sending status bar of <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9K</figref>; e.g., a graphic and/or text, the content and/or appearance of which depends on the status of sending the communication (e.g., "sending" or "sent"). In some embodiments, the alignment element and/or the visual indication of the sending status of the communication include, or are included in, a selectable user interface element (e.g., 926) that, when selected, displays an alignment interface (e.g., 902C). Concurrently displaying a visual indication of a sending status of the communication with the alignment element provides the user with relevant information about the sending status of the communication, which provides improved visual feedback.

0274In some embodiments, the computer system concurrently displays, with the alignment element (e.g., in the banner), a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a connection status of the computer system with a communication system (e.g., 929; e.g., a non-terrestrial wireless communication system and/or a satellite communication system) for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040">FIGS. 9K-9M</figref>; e.g., a graphic and/or text, the content and/or appearance of which depends on the connection status of the computer (e.g., "connected" or "not connected"). In some embodiments, the alignment element and/or the visual indication of the connection status of the communication include, or are included in, a selectable user interface element that, when selected, displays an alignment interface (e.g., 902C). Concurrently displaying a visual indication of a connection status of the computer system with a communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode with the alignment element provides the user with relevant information about the connection status of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback.

0275In some embodiments, before sending the communication and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., via non-terrestrial and/or satellite communication) (e.g., the computer system is not aligned with one or more satellites, the computer system displays an alignment element (e.g., a "fan" graphic and/or an indicator of a direction to orient the computer system) (in some embodiments, the alignment element includes an arrow pointing in a direction to rotate the computer system, and/or or a picture of a satellite shown in space relative to the computer system). Displaying an alignment element (e.g., 930) in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode automatically provides the user with a visual indication that the computer system is not aligned properly for sending the communication and can help the user align the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0276In some embodiments, the computer system displays (e.g., in a banner) a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a connection status of the computer system with a communication system (e.g., 929; e.g., with a non-terrestrial and/or satellite communication system) for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode; and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system displays (e.g., in the banner and/or concurrently with the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system) a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of an error condition (e.g., e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref>; e.g., an indication of the reason why the computer system cannot currently communicate with the one or more satellites). Displaying a visual indication of a connection status of the computer system with a communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode provides the user with information about the connection status, which provides improved visual feedback. Displaying a visual indication of an error condition in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode automatically provides the user with an indication that the computer system is not connected to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0277In some embodiments, the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode includes (or is included in) a selectable connection assistant option (e.g., 926; e.g., a banner, icon, button, affordance, or and/or graphical element). In some embodiments, the computer system detects selection of (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on) the connection assistant option; and in response to detecting the selection of the connection assistant element, the computer system displays instructions (e.g., 908F; e.g., text and/or a graphical indicator, such as an arrow) for connecting the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., an alignment element (e.g., a "fan" graphic and/or an indicator of a direction to orient the computer system) (in some embodiments, the alignment element includes an arrow pointing in a direction to rotate the computer system, and/or or a picture of a satellite shown in space relative to the computer system). Displaying instructions for connecting the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode in response to detecting selection of the connection assistant element provides the user with an efficient technique for obtaining instructions for connecting the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode without additional input, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0278In some embodiments, displaying the visual indication of an error condition includes displaying (e.g., in the banner and/or concurrently with the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system) instructions (e.g., text and/or a graphical indicator, such as an arrow) for connecting the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M</figref>). Displaying instructions for connecting the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode as part of displaying the visual indication of an error condition provides the user with convenient access to the instructions without requiring additional inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0279In some embodiments, in response to detecting a change in position (e.g., location and/or orientation) of the computer system (or a predetermined portion (e.g., antenna) of the computer system) relative to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system changes an appearance of (e.g., animating) an element that indicates the position of the computer system (e.g., 931) (or the predetermined portion of the computer system) relative to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., a graphic of a satellite is moved rotationally around a graphical representation of the computer system). Changing an appearance of an element that indicates the position of the computer system relative to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode in response to detecting a change in position of the computer system relative to the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode provides the user with feedback about the position of the computer system relative to the communication system as the relative position of the computer system changes, which provides improved visual feedback.

0280In some embodiments, while displaying the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system detects a request to open an application (e.g., an application that is not used for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode). In response to detecting the request to open the application: the computer system ceases display of at least a portion of the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., minimize, hide, and/or cease displaying a banner that includes the visual indication); and displays a selectable graphical element (e.g., 610T, 610U; e.g., a pill) that, when selected, causes the computer system to display (e.g., re-display, unhide, and/or maximize display of) the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode. In some embodiments, the selectable graphical element replaces a cellular status indicator (e.g., 607). Ceasing display of at least a portion of the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode and displaying a selectable graphical element that, when selected, causes the computer system to display the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the communication system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode in response to detecting a request to open an application allows the computer system to display the application while providing the user with an efficient way to obtain information about the connection status, which provides improved visual feedback, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0281In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to send the communication, the computer system displays a sending status element (e.g., sending status bar in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9K</figref>; e.g., a graphical element illustrating via graphic or text the status of sending the communication (e.g., "sending" or "sent") and/or a status bar where the amount of fill of the bar is proportional to the completion status of sending the communication), wherein an appearance of the sending status element is based on a progress of the sending of the communication. In some embodiments, the computer system updates the appearance of the sending status element as sending of the message progresses. Displaying a sending status element in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to send the communication, where an appearance of the sending status element is based on a progress of the sending of the communication provides the user with information about the progress of sending the communication without further input, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0282In some embodiments, after sending the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs, the computer system displays a user interface (e.g., 902K; e.g., a user interface of a messaging application, a message compose field, and/or a third set of selectable communication-content options) for sending a second communication (e.g., 928M; e.g., a follow-up message) to one or more recipients of the communication including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs. While displaying the user interface for sending the second communication, the computer system detects a third set of one or more inputs corresponding to selection of content for the second communication and a request to send the second communication. In response to detecting the third set of one or more inputs, the computer system sends the second communication including the content selected by the third set of one or more inputs. In some embodiments, the second communication is included (e.g., displayed in a messaging application) in a message conversation with the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs. Displaying a user interface for sending a second communication to one or more recipients of the communication and ending the second communication including the content selected by the third set of one or more inputs in response to detecting the third set of one or more inputs allows the user to send a follow-up message after sending the communication, which provides improved visual feedback.

0283In some embodiments, the user interface of the messaging application includes a message compose field (e.g., 912K; e.g., for drafting additional messages for the message conversation) and, optionally, a send affordance (e.g., 916K). Including a message compose field in the user interface of the messaging application provides the user with an efficient technique for composing and/or sending the second communication, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0284In some embodiments, the computer system displays, concurrently with the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options, an end option (e.g., 914) that, when selected (e.g., via user input 934L), causes the computer system to exit the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., and/or cease display of the first set of selectable communication-content options and/or the second set of selectable communication-content options) or, optionally, display a confirmation prompt (e.g., 620M). Displaying an end option that, when selected, causes the computer system to exit the low-bandwidth communication mode concurrently with the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options provides the user with an indication that it is possible to exit the low-bandwidth communication mode and a convenient and easy technique for exiting the low-bandwidth communication mode, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0285In some embodiments, the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options are displayed while the computer system is not connected to a system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode. In some embodiments, in response to a determination the computer system is not connected to (e.g., has lost connection with) the system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode, the computer system maintains display of the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIGS. 6M</figref>, <figref idref="f0018">6N</figref>, <figref idref="f0018">6O</figref>, <figref idref="f0019">6P, and 6Q</figref>). Displaying the first set of communication-content options and/or the second set of communication-content options while the computer system is not connected to a system for sending the communication via the low-bandwidth communication mode provides the user with the ability to continue to generate content for the communication even if a connection is interrupted (e.g., temporarily), which provides improved visual feedback.

0286In some embodiments, sending the communication, including the content corresponding to the selection of the first communication-content option and the second communication-content option selected by the first set of one or more inputs and the second set of one or more inputs further includes: sending one or more additional communications (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0021">FIGS. 6T-6U</figref>, and <figref idref="f0040 f0041 f0042">9M-9O</figref>; e.g., communicating additional, subsequently received (e.g., from emergency services) and/or sent messages and/or the content of the messages; in some embodiments communicating the additional messages are sent periodically (e.g., live; in real-time)); and wherein sending the communication is to a first recipient and a second recipient; forgoing communicating received communications from the second recipient of the communication with the sender and the first recipient (e.g., not communicating the message if both the sender and first recipient are in the same thread). Forgoing communicating received communications from the second recipient of the communication with the sender and the first recipient allows the senders from whom the computer system receives (or displays) messages to be limited, which provides improved visual feedback.

0287In some embodiments, while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode: the computer system displays an indication (e.g., 608L1, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that communication performed via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., communication performed via satellite communication and/or while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode) is (or, in some embodiments, may be) slower (e.g., uses a lower bandwidth) than communication that is not performed via the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., while the computer system is not in the low-bandwidth communication mode; communication performed via a terrestrial wireless communication network, a Wi-Fi network, and/or a cellular network). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the indication that communication performed via the low-bandwidth communication mode is slower than communication that is not performed via the low-bandwidth communication mode before displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options. Displaying an indication that communication performed via the low-bandwidth communication mode is slower than communication that is not performed via the low-bandwidth communication mode prepares the user for potentially slower communication so that the user does not think that there is an error when communication is slower than what the user is used to, which provides improved visual feedback to the user.

0288In some embodiments, the first set of selectable communication-content options and/or the second set of selectable communication-content options includes an option (e.g., 1716a1 and/or "Multiple People" option in set of options 6040) that indicates two or more people need assistance (e.g., that two or more people need assistance and/or are involved in an event). Including an option that indicates two or more people enables the user to quickly and efficiently indicate that multiple people are involved in an event with a single selection instead of having to indicate each person individually (e.g., repeat an indication process for each person), which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, reduces power usage, improves battery life, and/or provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0289In some embodiments, while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode: before sending the communication, the computer system displays a field (e.g., 609V, a message compose field, and/or a text entry field) for entering text (or, in some embodiments, other content) to be included in the communication, including limiting the amount of text (e.g., number of characters or, in some embodiments, amount of content) that can be included in the field (e.g., the computer system prevents the amount of characters in the field from exceeding a threshold number of characters; e.g., 610V indicates that computer system 600 limits the amount of text). In some embodiments, in response to detecting input corresponding to text (e.g., selection of keys on a keyboard and/or a voice command), the computer system displays the text in the field. In some embodiments, the communication includes the text displayed in the field. Displaying a field for entering text to be included in the communication and limiting the amount of text that can be included in the field enables the user to customize the content of the message while keeping the communication to a size that can be sent quickly while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0290In some embodiments, while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode: while displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 604M), the computer system displays an end option (e.g., 614, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) that, when selected, initiates a process to exit the low-bandwidth communication mode: and while displaying the second set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 604N), the computer system displays the end option (e.g., the computer system consistently displays and/or maintains display of the end option while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode). Displaying the end option while displaying the first set of selectable communication-content options, displaying an end option and while displaying the second set of selectable communication-content options enables the user to quickly exit the low-bandwidth communication mode at multiple stages, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0291In some embodiments, while the computer system is in the low-bandwidth communication mode: in response to detecting the second set of one or more inputs corresponding to selection of the second communication-content option of the second set of selectable communication-content options: in accordance with a determination that the selected second communication-content option is a first option (e.g., "Stroke" or "Drowning" in 604Q) of the second set of selectable communication-content options, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, an option (e.g., 606S, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) to send the communication; and in accordance with a determination that the selected second communication-content option is a second option (e.g., "Sickness" in 604Q) of the second set of selectable communication-content options that is different from the first option of the second set of selectable communication-content options, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, a third set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 6040) corresponding to respective content for the communication without displaying the option to send the communication (e.g., a send option, such as 606R or 606S, is not displayed in 6020), wherein the third set of selectable communication-content options are specific to the low-bandwidth communication mode. Displaying an option to send the communication or a set of selectable communication-content options corresponding to respective content for the communication without displaying the option to send the communication depending on what communication-content option is selected enables the user to send a communication more quickly (e.g., with fewer user inputs) under circumstances that are deemed particularly urgent while allowing a user to provide additional information when circumstances are not deemed particularly urgent, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0292Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 800 are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above and below. For example, method 700, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 800. For example, method 800 optionally can be performed as part of a process for initiating a communication in accordance with method 700. For example, method 800 optionally includes providing an alignment element in accordance with method 1000. For example, method 800 can include selecting a second recipient for the communication, in accordance with method 1200. For example, method 1800 can initiate method 800 from a messaging application. For example, sets of options as described in method 800 can be displayed in the alternative communication network test mode in method 2000. For example, method 800 can be the process corresponding to the user interface object in method 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

In some embodiments, summary interface 902B is similar to the features described in summary interface 602S in <figref idref="f0020">FIG. 6S</figref>, described above.

0298In some embodiments, a non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., a satellite network) is not available to send the emergency report. In response to receiving a request to communicate, such as input 906B of <figref idref="f0029">FIG. 9B</figref>, computer system 900 displays an alignment interface (e.g., alignment interface 902C of <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>) for communicating the emergency report via a satellite. As described herein, computer system 900 has communication window 930 for communicating with the satellite. In response to receiving an indication that computer system 900 is oriented to align communication window 930 with a satellite, computer system 900 sends the emergency report. The orientation of computer system 900 that aligns with the satellite is referred to as the alignment position. In some embodiments, the alignment position is the center of communication window 930, as described in alignment interface 902J in <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>.

0299In some embodiments, computer system 900 includes a database (e.g., memory) of orbits of satellites for communication. In some embodiments, the orbits include the known positions in time of satellites. Computer system 900 determines a satellite is in range of communication of a satellite based on the position of the satellites at the time of initiating the message, and the location of computer system 900 (e.g., GPS position). The present embodiments describe one satellite for communication, however additional satellites may be aligned with computer system 900 to send an emergency report (e.g., two satellites may be in the communication window).

0300In <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref>, computer system 900 displays an alignment interface (e.g., 902C, 902D, 902E, 902F, 902G, 902H, 902I, 902J, 902O, and 902P) with end button 914 and alignment element 909. User 950 indicates an elevation of computer system 900. Minimap 940 indicates a spatial position of computer system 900 in a 2D space. Minimap 940 includes an exemplary user 942C with an arrow indicating an azimuth (e.g., rotational direction) computer system 900 is facing the communication window 930, described below.

0301End button 914 is a selectable button for ending the display of the respective alignment interface (902C, 902D, 902E, 902F, 902G, 902H, 902I, 902J, 902O, or 902P). In response to receiving a selection of end button 914, computer system 900 displays the previously displayed interface, calling interface 902A of <figref idref="f0029">FIG. 9A</figref> or summary interface 902B of <figref idref="f0029">FIG. 9B</figref>. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of end button 914, computer system 900 displays a home screen.

0302In <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902C, which concurrently displays end button 914 and alignment element 909. In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the location of computer system 900 (e.g., relative to the satellite) cannot be determined, computer system 900 displays alignment element 902C. In some embodiments, if the location of computer system 900 can be determined, computer system 900 forgoes displaying alignment interface 902C and displays alignment interface 902D.

0303Alignment element 909 displays instructions to align computer system 900 with a satellite. Alignment element 909 includes graphical element 931 and textual element 908C. Graphical element 931 includes communication window 930. Communication window 930 is an exemplary range of orientations in which computer system 900 is capable of communication with the satellite. In some embodiments, computer system 900 displays a graphical indication of a satellite (e.g., satellite representation 929 described below) as inside the communication window 930 to indicate that computer system 900 is aligned for communication with the satellite. Graphical element 931 is updated as computer system 900 is oriented to align with a satellite.

0304Graphical element 931 includes computer system 932 representing computer system 900 as the origin of the communication window 930. As described herein, the orientation of computer system 900 includes an azimuth and elevation to align computer system 900 with the satellite. The azimuth is a direction or rotation of computer system 900. The elevation is a pitch or an angle at which computer system 900 is facing (e.g., pointing up or pointing down).

0305Minimap 940 describes the azimuth of computer system 900, indicated by the arrow from user 942C. The arrow indicates the direction computer system 900 is facing (e.g., the azimuth orientation of computer system 900). In some embodiments, direction computer system 900 is facing (e.g., the azimuth of computer system 900) is the direction communication window 930 is oriented. In <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>, computer system 900 is facing south.

0306In <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>, user 950 is orienting the elevation of computer system 900 slightly downward. Alignment element 909 indicates computer system 900 is unable to connect to a satellite. In response to determining computer system 900 is unable to connect with a satellite, graphical element 931 forgoes displaying satellite representation 929, and displays communication window 930. In some embodiments, computer system 900 displays satellite representation 929 with a dim (e.g., translucent) appearance, indicating that computer system 900 is unable to connect to a satellite.

0307Textual element 908C indicates that computer system 900 is not able to connect to a satellite. Textual element 908C includes textual prompts that can appear at once, in sets, or individually. Textual prompts 908C can be replaced after a threshold period of time of displaying the textual prompt (e.g., after 3 seconds, 5 second, or 10 seconds of displaying "poor connection," the text is replaced with "unable to connect"). Communication window 930 includes an empty appearance, indicating computer system 900 is not connected or oriented to a satellite. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that computer system 900 has a poor connection.

0308In response to computer system 900 determining the position of computer system 900 and computer system 900 is obstructed from communication with a satellite, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902D shown in <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>. In <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902D, which concurrently displays end button 914 and alignment element 909. Alignment element 909 includes graphical element 931 and textual element 908D. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that the connection status of computer system 900 has changed (e.g., from poor connection/unable to connect to looking for a satellite).

0309In <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>, computer system 900 displays the same elevation as described in <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>. Minimap 940 also illustrates that user 942D is facing the same direction as described in <figref idref="f0030">FIG. 9C</figref>. In response to computer system 900 determining the position of computer system 900 and that computer system 900 is obstructed from communication with a satellite, computer system 900 updates display of alignment element 909 to indicate that an obstruction is present.

0310In <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>, textual element 908D replaces textual element 908C. Textual element 908D includes a notification to make sure computer system 900 is outside. Obstructions, such as being inside, can block communication with a satellite. Textual element 908D indicates that computer system 900 is not connected and a satellite has not been found. In some embodiments, computer system 900 displays (e.g., continues to display) satellite representation 929 with a dim (e.g., translucent) appearance in alignment interface 902D, indicating that computer system is unable to connect to a satellite. Communication window 930 illustrates (e.g., continues to have) an empty appearance to indicate that computer system 900 is not connected or oriented to a satellite.

0311In response to a determination that computer system 900 is not obstructed (e.g., no longer obstructed), computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902E of <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that the connection state of computer system 900 has changed (e.g., from looking for a satellite to not connected/satellite available in 4 minutes). If computer system 900 determines that a satellite is available for communication, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902F, described further below with reference to <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>.

0312In <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>, computer system 900 displays computer system 900 at the same elevation as described in <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>. Minimap 940 illustrates that user 942D has changed position, and is outside of building 1. Minimap 940 illustrates that the azimuth of computer system 900 has changed and that computer system 900 is facing north. In some embodiments, computer system 900 displays (e.g., continues to display) satellite representation 929 with a dim (e.g., translucent) appearance in alignment interface 902E, indicating a satellite is not yet available.

0313In <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>, alignment element 909 indicates that an outage is in progress. Computer system 900 determines, based on the location of computer system 900 and database of satellite orbits, that an outage exists when the satellite is not available for communication. Computer system 900 can determine a period of time until a satellite is available based on the location of computer system 900 and database of satellite orbits. In some embodiments, the availability of a satellite is when the satellite is within range of communication window 930. Textual element 908E includes a notification of the period of time (four minutes) until the satellite is available. In some embodiments, textual element 908E is updated dynamically by computer system 900 as the period of time elapses.

0314In response to computer system 900 determining that the period of time has elapsed and/or that the satellite is available for communication, computer system 900 displays alignment element 902F of <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that the connection state of computer system 900 has changed (e.g., from a satellite not being available to a satellite being available). In <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>, computer system 900 displays computer system 900 at the same elevation as described in <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>. Minimap 940 illustrates that user 942D has not changed position, compared to <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>. Minimap 940 also illustrates that the azimuth of computer system 900 has not changed.

0315In response to computer system 900 determining that a satellite is available, computer system 900 updates display of alignment element 909 in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>. Alignment element 909 indicates that a satellite is available, but computer system 900 is not connected. Computer system 900 determines, based on the orientation of computer system 900 and database of satellite orbits, that computer system 900 must change its orientation to achieve the alignment position.

0316In response to a determination that computer system 900 must change its orientation to achieve the alignment position, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909 to indicate instructions to align computer system 900. Computer system 900 displays satellite representation 929 in a position relative to computer system 932, and graphical element 931 includes an indicator of the direction computer system 932 should be rotated to align the azimuth with the satellite. Computer system 900 displays the indication as an arrow originating from the alignment position above computer system 932. Computer system 900 displays the magnitude of the arrow based on the amount of correction needed to place satellite representation 929 in the alignment position.

0317Textual element 908F includes a notification of the connection status of computer system 900 (e.g., not connected) and a notification of how to set computer system 900 in the alignment position. Computer system 900 updates textual element 908F based on the magnitude of the change needed to place computer system 900 in the alignment position. In <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>, computer system 900 displays textual element 908F as "Turn far left to find satellite," for a large magnitude of change to place satellite representation 929 into the alignment position.

0318In response to a change in azimuth of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902G of <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref>. In <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref>, computer system 900 is at the same elevation as described in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>. Minimap 940 illustrates user 942D has changed the azimuth of computer system 900 such that computer system 900 is facing west, but the location is the same as described in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>.

0319In response to the change in azimuth of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902G. In alignment interface 902G, alignment element 909 has been updated to reflect the updated azimuth of computer system 900. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate the updated azimuth (e.g., that the alignment of computer system 900 has improved). Alignment element 909 continues to indicate that a satellite is available, but that computer system 900 is not connected. Based on the change in azimuth of computer system 900, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909 with updated instructions for aligning computer system 900 and displays satellite representation 929 is in an updated position relative to computer system 932, closer to the communication window 930. The magnitude of the arrow in graphical element 931 in <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref> is smaller than the magnitude of the arrow in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>, described above, based on the amount of correction needed to place satellite representation 929 in the alignment position. In some embodiments, graphical element 931 is updated dynamically (or gradually) based on the direction of the change in orientation of the computer system 900. In some embodiments, as the azimuth of computer system 900 is changed to be closer to the satellite, communication window dynamically updates the communication window with an indication of alignment (e.g., shading or color).

0320Computer system 900 updates textual element 908G based on the smaller magnitude of the change needed to place computer system 900 in the alignment position compared to the magnitude needed in alignment interface 902F of <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>. In <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref>, computer system 900 updates textual element 908F to "Turn left to find satellite," for a smaller magnitude of change to place satellite representation 929 into the alignment position. In some embodiments, updating the textual element 908F occurs automatically as computer system 900 reaches a threshold magnitude to align computer system 900 with the satellite.

0321In some embodiments, the satellite moves in relation to computer system 900 (e.g., the satellite is not in geosynchronous orbit). In response to a determination that the satellite has moved in relation to computer system 900, computer system 900 automatically updates the display of satellite representation 929 in alignment interface 902G. In response to a determination that the satellite is moving out of range of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902O of <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O</figref>, described below. As described herein, a satellite moving out of range is an indication that computer system 900 and the satellite cannot communicate. For example, a satellite moving out of range is an indication that the satellite is moving over the horizon from computer system 900 and being blocked from communicating with computer system 900 by terrestrial objects (e.g., land, trees, buildings, mountains, and/or the atmosphere).

0322In response to a further change in azimuth of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902H of <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>. In <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>, computer system 900 displays computer system 900 at the same elevation as described in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>. Minimap 940 illustrates that user 942D has changed the azimuth of computer system 900 (computer system 900 is facing south-west), but that computer system 900 is in the same position as described in <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>.

0323In response to the further change in azimuth of computer system 900, computer system 900 updates alignment interface 902H to reflect the updated azimuth of computer system 900. Computer system 900 determines, based on the updated orientation of computer system 900 and the database of satellite orbits, that computer system 900 has aligned the azimuth but must continue to change its orientation to achieve the alignment position (e.g., change the elevation). In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that computer system 900 is aligned in the azimuth direction. Computer system 900 updates alignment element 909 to indicate instructions to align the elevation of computer system 900 and displays satellite representation 929 is in an updated position relative to computer system 932, with satellite representation 929 in communication window 930. Computer system 900 also updates a size of alignment element 909 to indicate satellite representation 929 as enlarged (e.g., as compared to satellite representation 929 in <figref idref="f0032 f0033 f0034">FIGS. 9E-9G</figref>) and computer system 932 as enlarged (e.g., as compared to computer system 932 in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034">FIGS. 9C-9G</figref>).

0324In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying alignment interface 902H, computer system 900 determines, based on an updated orientation of computer system 900 and the database of satellite orbits, that computer system 900 is unaligned with satellite 932. In response, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909 to display computer system 932, with satellite representation 929 outside communication window 930. Computer system 900 also updates a size of alignment element 909 to indicate satellite representation 929 as reduced (e.g., as compared to <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>) and computer system 932 as reduced (e.g., as compared to <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>).

0325Graphical element 931 includes an indicator of the direction computer system 932 should be elevated to align the azimuth with the satellite. Computer system 900 displays an indicator of a magnitude of the elevation to place satellite representation 929 in the alignment position. In some embodiments, graphical element 931 is updated dynamically (or gradually) based on the direction of the change in elevation of the device. Computer system 900 displays communication window 930 with an updated appearance (e.g., a dark shading or color), indicating that computer system 900 is aligned in the azimuth direction but not the elevation direction.

0326In some embodiments, as the azimuth of computer system 900 is changed to be aligned with the satellite, computer system dynamically updates the appearance of the communication window. In some embodiments, as the azimuth of computer system 900 is changed to be aligned with the satellite, computer system 900 provides haptic 619 to indicate the azimuth is aligned. In <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>, computer system 900 updates graphical element 931 to display computer system 932 at a larger size from computer system 932 of <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref> (e.g., zooms in graphical element 931). The increase in size of computer system 932 provides a visual notification of a computer system aligned the azimuth with the satellite.

0327In <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>, computer system 900 updates textual element 908H based on the azimuth aligning with the satellite. Computer system 900 updates textual element 908H to display instructions to correct the elevation of computer system 932 (e.g., "point phone up"). In some embodiments, updating the textual element 908H occurs automatically.

0328In response to detecting a change in elevation of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902I of <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref>. In <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref>, computer system 900 displays computer system 900 at an updated elevation, now slightly upward and being held by user 950. Minimap 940 illustrates user 942I has the same azimuth and position as described in 9H.

0329As illustrated in <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref>, in response to detecting the change in elevation of computer system 900, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909 to reflect the updated elevation of computer system 900. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that the elevation alignment of computer system 900 has changed (e.g., improved). Computer system 900 determines, based on the updated orientation of computer system 900 and database of satellite orbits, the elevation of computer system 900 must be further adjusted to achieve the alignment position and updates alignment element 909 to indicate instructions to further align computer system 900. Computer system 900 displays satellite representation 929 in an updated position relative to computer system 932, closer to computer system 900 (e.g., moved vertically on touch-sensitive display 901 towards the center of the communication window 930).

0330Graphical element 931 includes an indicator of the direction computer system 900 should be elevated to align the elevation with the satellite. In some embodiments, graphical element 931 is updated dynamically (or gradually) based on the direction of the change in elevation of the device.

0331Computer system 900 displays communication window 930 with the same appearance as described in 9H, indicating that the azimuth is aligned with the satellite. In some embodiments, as the elevation of computer system 900 is changed to be closer to the satellite, communication window dynamically updates the communication window with an indication of alignment (e.g., shading or color becomes darker than illustrated in 9H).

0332In some embodiments, computer system 900 updates textual element 908I based on the smaller magnitude of the change needed to place computer system 900 in the alignment position compared to the magnitude needed in alignment interface 902I of <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref>. For example, textual element 908I can be updated from "point phone way up" to "point phone up" in response to a threshold magnitude of change to place satellite representation 929 in the alignment position.

0333In response to detecting an updated change in elevation of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902J of <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>. In <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>, computer system 900 displays computer system 900 at an updated elevation, now slightly upward than described in <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref> and being held by user 950. Minimap 940 illustrates user 942D has the same azimuth and position as described in <figref idref="f0036">FIG. 9I</figref>. In response to detecting a change in elevation of computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902J. Alignment interface 902J displays alignment element 909 has been updated to reflect the updated elevation of computer system 900.

0334In <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>, computer system 900 has achieved the alignment position. In some embodiments, as the elevation of computer system 900 is changed to be aligned with the satellite, computer system 900 provides haptic 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate the elevation is aligned and/or the change in connection status (e.g., from not connected to connected). Display of satellite representation 929 is in an updated position relative to computer system 932, closer to computer system 900 and in an alignment position (e.g., moved vertically towards the center of the communication window 930). Computer system 900 displays communication window 930 with an updated appearance, indicating that the azimuth and elevation are aligned with the satellite (e.g., a very dark shade or color). Textual element 908J includes a notification of the connection status of computer system 900 (e.g., connected) and indicates that the satellite has been found.

0335In response to a determination that computer system 900 is properly aligned, computer system 900 automatically begins to send the emergency report. Textual element 908J indicates that the message is sending. Messaging option 910J indicates that a messaging user interface is being opened to illustrate that the message is being sent.

0336In some embodiments, in response to aligning satellite representation 929 in the alignment position, computer system 900 displays messaging interface 902K of <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9K</figref>. In some embodiments, in response to a threshold period of time lapsing after displaying alignment interface 902J, computer system 900 displays messaging interface 902K. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 912J of messaging option 910J, computer system 900 displays messaging interface 902K.

0337Although the above embodiments describe computer system 900 providing notifications to correct any obstructions, and align an azimuth and then elevation of computer system 900, the order of each of these features may be reversed, rearranged, or otherwise modified. In some embodiments, computer system 900 provides interfaces to fix both the elevation and alignment concurrently.

0338In <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9K</figref>, computer system 900 displays messaging interface 902K, displaying a message being sent via satellite communication. As described above, in response to aligning computer system 900 with a satellite, computer system 900 automatically sends an emergency communication, and displays messaging interface 902K. Messaging interface 902K illustrates the perspective of a sender of the emergency report. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9K</figref>, computer system 900 outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that computer system 900 is sending the message.

0339Banner 926 includes graphical element 931, which displays the connection status of computer system 900 to the satellite. In some embodiments, graphical element 931 is a smaller view of the alignment element 909 of <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref>. In response to computer system 900 receiving an input to change the orientation of computer system 900, computer system 900 automatically (e.g., dynamically) updates the graphical element 931 on the banner to indicate the connection status, and, in some embodiments, an indication of how to align computer system 900 with the satellite. Banner 926 includes instructions to keep pointing to the satellite to send and receive messages. Banner 926 includes a sending status bar, indicating the message status as sending.

0359In response to a determination that a Wi-Fi network is available, computer system 900 displays notification 918N1, which notifies the user that calling can help the user get help faster, and call option 920N1. In response to computer system 900 receiving a selection 928N of call option 920N1 in <figref idref="f0041">FIG. 9N1</figref>, computer system 900 calls the emergency service to which message 906N was sent to (e.g., 911).

0360Turning to <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O</figref>, the satellite is moving out of range of communication with computer system 900. In some embodiments, computer system 900 determines that the satellite is moving (or has moved) out of range based on the satellite orbit and position of computer system 900. In <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O</figref>, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902O.

0361In response to a determination that the satellite is moving out of range, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909, including graphical element 931 and textual element 908O, and, optionally, outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that the satellite is moving out of range. Graphical element 931 illustrates that the satellite is moving away from computer system 900 and indicates the direction in which the satellite is moving relative to computer system 900.

In some embodiments, computer system 900 updates textual element 908O to display the amount of time until the satellite will be out of range.

0362Turning to <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O1</figref>, the satellite has moved out of range of communication with computer system 900. In some embodiments, computer system 900 determines that the satellite has moved out of range based on the satellite orbit and position of computer system 900. In <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O1</figref>, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902O1.

0363In response to a determination that the satellite is out of range, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909, including graphical element 931 and textual element 908O1, and, optionally, outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that the satellite is out of range. Graphical element 931 illustrates that the satellite is out of range of computer system 900. Textual element 908O1 includes an indication that the satellite is out of range. In some embodiments, computer system 900 determines the amount of time until a satellite will be available based on location of computer system 900 and database of satellite orbits. In some embodiments, computer system 900 updates textual element 908P to display the amount of time until a next satellite will be available.

0364In some embodiments, computer system 900 ceases display of satellite representation 929 in response to a determination that the satellite has reached a threshold distance from computer system 900 (e.g., computer system 900 cannot be oriented to communicate with the satellite due to the distance between them), and displays alignment interface 902E of <figref idref="f0032">FIG. 9E</figref>, described above. In response to a new satellite being available for communication and/or the time elapses until a new satellite is available to computer system 900, computer system 900 displays alignment element 902P of <figref idref="f0043">FIG. 9P</figref>.

0365In some embodiments, as computer system 900 determines that the satellite is moving out of range based on the satellite orbit and position, computer system 900 displays an amount of time until the satellite will be out of range (e.g., a non-zero indication of time; 10 seconds; one minute).

0366In <figref idref="f0043">FIG. 9P</figref>, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902P, which indicates computer system 900 is not connected to a satellite. Alignment interface 902P displays an indication that a new satellite has been found by computer system 900. Satellite representation 929 represents the new satellite. In response to computer system 900 determining that a satellite is available for communication, computer system 900 updates alignment element 909, including graphical element 931 and textual element 908P, and, optionally, outputs haptic output 619 and/or audio output 650 to indicate that a satellite is available for communication. Graphical element 931 illustrates that a satellite has been found, and is shown in position relative to the computer system 900.

0367In response to receiving a change in orientation of computer system 900 while displaying interface 902P, alignment interface 902P is updated relative to the change in orientation of computer system 900. In some embodiments, in response to computer system 900 receiving a change in orientation to align computer system 900 with the satellite, computer system 900 displays alignment interface 902J of <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>.

0368Turning to <figref idref="f0044">FIG. 9Q</figref>, an exemplary external computer system 950 is illustrated. The external computer system 950 is an exemplary device that receives message 906L described in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9L</figref>. External computer system 950 displays messaging interface 902Q, which includes message 906Q, location 914Q, message header 912Q, message information 908Q, sender information 913Q, back button 915, information icon 907Q, and connection indicator 907.

In response to external computer system 950 receiving message 906Q via terrestrial wireless communication network, computer system 950 displays messaging interface 902Q.

0369Message 906Q includes the information from message 906L described in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9L</figref>. Location 914Q indicates a location of computer system 900 (e.g., as described in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9L</figref>) associated with the message 906Q (e.g., location where message 906Q was sent). In some embodiments, location 914Q is displayed in the same message as message 906L. In some embodiments, location 914Q is sent as a separate message, as coordinates, or an address. Message header 912Q includes an indication of the device (e.g., computer system 900 described in 9L) that sent message 906Q and location 914Q of the sending device. Message information 908Q provides a notice that Jane, the sender, has shared the message 906Q with the external computer system 950, and indicates that Jane sent the message via satellite, and therefore cannot receive calls. In response to receiving an input on back button 915, external computer system 950 displays a series of threads of messages and/or a home screen.

0370In some embodiments, <figref idref="f0044">FIG. 9Q</figref> is similar to messaging user interface 1114 of <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11F</figref>.

0371<figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref> illustrate an animation of graphical element 931. In some embodiments, graphical element 931 includes the animation shown and described with reference to <figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref>. In some embodiments, graphical element 931 includes the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref> when computer system 900 is connected to the a satellite as indicated by communication window 930 being filled in. As described in more detail below, satellite representation 929 rotates back and forth between two orientations (e.g., such that satellite representation 929 is always pointed downward towards computer system 932) and signal 933 moves back and forth between computer system 932 and satellite representation 929.

0372<figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9R</figref> illustrates a first state of the animation. In <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9R</figref>, satellite representation 929 has a first orientation and signal 933 has a first appearance (e.g., solid line, first brightness, first curvature, and/or first color) and a first location (e.g., in communication window 930). The first appearance of signal 933 represents that signal 933 is moving from computer system 932 to satellite representation 929. For example, signal 933 is curved upward to indicate that signal 933 is moving upward from computer system 932 to satellite representation 929. The arrows next to satellite representation 929 indicate that satellite representation 929 rotates (e.g., changes orientation and/or rotates clockwise) over time while maintaining the same location (e.g., at the top of communication window 930).

0373<figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9S</figref> illustrates a second state of the animation. In <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9S</figref>, satellite representation 929 has a second orientation (e.g., rotated clockwise relative to the first orientation) and signal 933 has the first appearance and a second location (e.g., in communication window 930). The second location of signal 933 is closer to satellite representation 929, which provides the effect that signal 933 is moving from computer system 932 to satellite representation 929 (e.g., consistent with the first appearance). The arrows next to satellite representation 929 in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9S</figref> indicate that satellite representation 929 rotates (e.g., changes orientation and/or rotates counterclockwise) over time while maintaining the same location (e.g., at the top of communication window 930). In some embodiments, graphical element 931 gradually transitions through intermediate states from the first state of the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9R</figref> to the second state of the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9S</figref>.

0374<figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9T</figref> illustrates a third state of the animation. In <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9T</figref>, satellite representation 929 has the first orientation (e.g., the same orientation as in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9R</figref> and/or rotated counterclockwise relative to the second orientation) and signal 933 has a second appearance (e.g., broken line, second brightness, second curvature, and/or second color) and a third location (e.g., in communication window 930). The second appearance of signal 933 represents that signal 933 is moving from satellite representation 929 to computer system 932. For example, signal 933 is curved downward to indicate that signal 933 is moving downward from satellite representation 929 to computer system 932. The arrows next to satellite representation 929 indicate that satellite representation 929 rotates (e.g., changes orientation and/or rotates clockwise) over time while maintaining the same location (e.g., at the top of communication window 930). In some embodiments, graphical element 931 gradually transitions through intermediate states from the second state of the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9S</figref> to the third state of the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9T</figref>.

0375<figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9U</figref> illustrates a fourth state of the animation. In <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9U</figref>, satellite representation 929 has the second orientation (e.g., the same orientation as in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9S</figref> and/or rotated clockwise relative to the first orientation) and signal 933 has the second appearance and a fourth location (e.g., in communication window 930). The fourth location of signal 933 is closer to computer system 932, which provides the effect that signal 933 is moving from satellite representation 929 to computer system 932 (e.g., consistent with the second appearance). In some embodiments, graphical element 931 gradually transitions through intermediate states from the third state of the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9T</figref> to the fourth state of the animation in <figref idref="f0045">FIG. 9U</figref>.

0376In some embodiments, graphical element 931 transitions from the fourth state to the first state and repeats the animation described in <figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref> one or more times (e.g., continuously repeats and/or loops the animation). In some embodiments, the features of the animation described with reference to <figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref> (e.g., rotation of satellite representation 929 and/or the movement of signal 933) are not synchronized with and/or based on the status of an actual signal (e.g., an electromagnetic signal) between computer system 900 and a satellite and/or an actional position (e.g., orientation) of a satellite. In some embodiments, the features of the animation described with reference to <figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref> (e.g., rotation of satellite representation 929 and/or the movement of signal 933) are synchronized with and/or based on the status of an actual signal between computer system 900 and a satellite and/or an actional position of a satellite.

0377<figref idref="f0046">FIG. 10</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating methods for aligning a computer system with one or more satellites, in accordance with some embodiments. The method is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, or 900; e.g., a smartphone, a smartwatch, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, or a head mounted device (e.g., a head mounted augmented reality and/or extended reality device)) that is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 901; e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system, and/or a head mounted display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., e.g., 901; a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, a microphone, a gyroscope, and/or an accelerometer). Some operations in the method are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0378As described below, method 1000 provides an intuitive way for aligning a computer system with one or more satellites. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for aligning a computer system with one or more satellites, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to align a computer system with one or more satellites faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0379The computer system detects (1002), via the one or more input devices, a user input (e.g., 906A or 906B) corresponding to a request (e.g., receiving a selection of a send affordance) to communicate (e.g., via a text message, phone call, and/or sending an emergency report while in an emergency reporting mode) via satellite communication.

0380In response to detecting the user input (1004), the computer system displays (1006), via the display generation component, an alignment element (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref> at 909; e.g., graphical element, text, and/or image), including: in accordance with a determination that the computer system (in some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that a predetermined portion of the computer system (e.g., a display of the computer system and/or one or more satellite communication antennas of the computer system relative to a satellite system)) is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., in a system of satellites) (e.g., for initiating a communication such as a phone call or sending the message), the computer system displays (1008) the alignment element (e.g., a "fan" graphic and/or an indicator of a direction to orient the computer system (in some embodiments, the alignment element includes an arrow pointing in a direction to rotate the computer system, and/or or a picture of a satellite shown in space relative to the computer system) with a first alignment appearance (e.g., the "fan" is gray indicating no alignment) that indicates the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites and includes a graphical indication (e.g., 931; e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) (e.g., a graphical indication of an orientation of a predetermined portion of the computer system); and while displaying the alignment element with the first alignment appearance, the computer system detects (1010) a change in orientation (e.g., azimuth, elevation, and/or rotation) of a predetermined portion of the computer system (e.g., a display of the computer system, and/or one or more satellite communication antennas of the computer system relative to the one or more satellites); in response to detecting the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system, the computer system changes (1014) an appearance of the alignment element (e.g., changing an appearance of the graphical indication, the color of the "fan" is changed to green to indicate proper alignment, change text to "aligned", and/or a graphic of a satellite is moved to be directly above a graphical representation of the computer system). Displaying the alignment element with a first alignment appearance that indicates the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites and includes a graphical indication in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites provides the user with information about the alignment of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback. Changing an appearance of the alignment element in response to detecting a change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system provides the user with updated information about the alignment of the computer system as the orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system changes, which provides improved visual feedback.

0381In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input, the computer system displays a satellite availability element (e.g., 908E, 908O; e.g., a graphical element, text, and/or image), including: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is in a first availability state relative to the one or more satellites (e.g., based on a location of the one or more satellites and the location and/or orientation of the computer system, satellites are available for communicating), the computer system displays the satellite availability element with a first appearance (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>) that indicates the first availability state (e.g., text and/or a graphic indicating satellite availability, such as, e.g., "Available", "Connected", or the like); and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is in a second availability state relative to the one or more satellites (e.g., based on the location of the one or more satellites and the location and/or orientation of the computer system, satellites are not available for sending the message), the computer system displays the satellite availability element with a second appearance that indicates the second availability state (e.g., text and/or a graphic indicating satellite availability, such as, e.g., "Not Available", "Not Connected", "Searching", "Attempting to Connect", or the like), wherein the second availability appearance is different from the first availability appearance. Displaying the satellite availability element with an appearance that is based on the state of the computer system relative to the one or more satellites provides the user with information about the availability of the one or more satellites for communication with the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback.

0382In accordance with some embodiments, the alignment element and the satellite availability element are displayed concurrently (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9F-9J</figref>). Concurrently displaying the alignment element and the satellite availability element provides the user with concurrent information about the availability of the one or more satellites for communication with the computer system and the alignment of the computer system with the one or more satellites, which provides improved visual feedback.

0383In accordance with some embodiments, changing the appearance of the alignment element includes: the computer system displaying the alignment element with a second appearance (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0035">FIG. 9H</figref>; e.g., changing an appearance of the graphical indication, the color of the "fan" is changed to light green to indicate the orientation change has improved alignment, and/or indicator of direction to orient has changed; a graphic of a satellite is moved in response to orientation change) that is based on the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system, wherein the second alignment appearance is different from the first alignment appearance. Displaying the alignment element with a second appearance that is based on the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system provides the user with information about how the change in orientation affected the alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0384In accordance with some embodiments, changing the appearance of the alignment element includes changing (e.g., gradually and/or through a plurality of intermediate states over time) the appearance of the alignment element based on a magnitude of the detected change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>; e.g., the arrow from the satellite is bigger for large magnitudes of change needed to align the device, the fan color is darker gray when the magnitude of change is large magnitudes of change needed to align the device, text changes from "turn left" to "turn far left" when magnitude of change is large to align the device). In some embodiments, the appearance of the alignment element changes (e.g., gradually and/or through a plurality of intermediate states over time) as the corresponding values of the magnitude and/or direction of the detected change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system changes. Changing the appearance of the alignment element based on a magnitude of the detected change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system provides the user with information about how the magnitude of the change in orientation affected the alignment with the one or more satellites, which provides improved visual feedback.

0385In accordance with some embodiments, changing the appearance of the alignment element includes changing (e.g., gradually and/or through a plurality of intermediate states over time) the appearance of the alignment element based on a direction of the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>; e.g., the arrow from the satellite affordance is automatically shifted to an opposite side to indicate the direction of orientation to align the device, text automatically changes from "turn left" to "turn right" when direction of change of orientation is changed). Changing the appearance of the alignment element based on a direction of the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system provides the user with information about how the direction of the change in orientation affected the alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0386In accordance with some embodiments, changing the appearance of the alignment element includes changing (e.g., gradually and/or through a plurality of intermediate states over time) the appearance of the alignment element based on movement of the one or more satellites (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O</figref>). In some embodiments, the computer system detects (e.g., directly or via data received from an external source) an indication of movement of the one or more satellites and changes the appearance of the alignment element in response to detecting the indication of movement and in accordance with the movement. In some embodiments, the appearance of the alignment element changes (e.g., gradually and/or through a plurality of intermediate states over time) as the one or more satellites move. Changing the appearance of the alignment element based on movement of the one or more satellites provides the user with information about how the movement affected the alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0387In accordance with some embodiments, the determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites is based on a database (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref>, the computer system includes a database; e.g., a locally stored database that is stored on the computer system) of positions (e.g., orbits or positions in time) of the one or more satellites and a position of the computer system (e.g., the GPS position). Basing the determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites on a database of positions of the one or more satellites and a position of the computer system provides the user with more accurate information about the alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0388In accordance with some embodiments, the determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or satellites includes a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly in an azimuth direction (e.g., <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>) for communication with the one or more satellites; and the first alignment appearance of the alignment element includes instructions to adjust (e.g., align) the orientation of the computer system in the azimuth direction (e.g., a prompt to fix the azimuth orientation via text or graphical element). Including instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the azimuth direction in the first alignment appearance of the alignment element provides the user with more information about how to move the computer system into alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0389In accordance with some embodiments, displaying the alignment element includes concurrently displaying: a graphical representation of a location of the one or more satellites (e.g., 929; e.g., relative to the computer system; a satellite icon relative to a phone icon); and a graphical representation of a communication window (e.g., 930; e.g., a range of azimuth and/or elevation orientations of the computer system in which the computer system is capable of communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., the fan)) (in some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned with the one or more satellites, the graphical location of the one or more satellites is within the graphical communication window). Concurrently displaying a graphical representation of a location of the one or more satellites and a graphical representation of a communication window provides the user with more information about how to move the computer system into alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0390In accordance with some embodiments, changing the appearance of the alignment element includes: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is in the communication window (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0034 f0035">FIGS. 9G-9H</figref>; e.g., centered in the communication window): the computer system enlarging the graphical representation of the location of the one or more satellites (e.g., the satellite icon is moved to within the communication window); and the computer system enlarging the graphical representation of the communication window (in some embodiments, in accordance with a determination the computer system is aligned with the one or more satellites). In some embodiments, the computer system becomes positioned within the communication window due to movement of the computer system, movement of the one or more satellites, and/or movement of an obstruction with the communication window. Enlarging the graphical representation of the location of the one or more satellites and enlarging the graphical representation of the communication window in accordance with a determination that the computer system is in the communication window provides the user with a visual indication that the computer system is aligned with the one or more satellites and helps prevent the user from moving the computer system unnecessarily, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0391In accordance with some embodiments, changing the appearance of the alignment element includes: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., is connected and/or in communication with the one or more satellites), changing a color of the graphical representation of the communication window (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>; to green). Changing a color of the graphical representation of the communication window in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites provides the user with a visual indication that the computer system is aligned with the one or more satellites and helps prevent the user from moving the computer system unnecessarily, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0392In accordance with some embodiments, the instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the azimuth direction includes a text prompt (e.g., 908F, 908G, 908P). Including a text prompt in the instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the azimuth direction provides the user with clearer instructions on how to align the computer system with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0393In accordance with some embodiments, the alignment element includes: a graphical representation (e.g., an icon, thumbnail image, or glyph) of the one or more satellites (e.g., 929; displayed relative to a graphical representation of the computer system (e.g., a satellite icon relative to a phone icon)); and changing the appearance of the alignment element includes moving the graphical representation of the one or more satellites. Including a graphical representation of the one or more satellites in the alignment element and moving the graphical representation of the one or more satellites as part of changing the appearance of the alignment element provides the user with a visual indication of how the change in orientation affected the alignment of the computer system with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0394In accordance with some embodiments, the alignment element comprises: a graphical indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a direction of motion of the one or more satellites (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref>, the arrow; e.g., displayed relative to the computer system (e.g., a satellite icon relative to a phone icon)). Including a graphical indication of a direction of the motion of the one or more satellites provides the user with a visual indication of the direction of motion of the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0395In accordance with some embodiments, the determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites includes a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly in an elevation direction for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0035 f0036">FIGS. 9H-9I</figref>; and the first alignment appearance of the alignment element includes instructions to adjust (e.g., align) the orientation of the computer system in the elevation direction (e.g., a prompt to fix the elevation orientation via text or graphical element). Including instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the elevation direction in the first alignment appearance of the alignment element provides the user with more information about how to move the computer system into alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0396In accordance with some embodiments, the instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the elevation direction include a prompt (e.g., 908H, 908I; e.g., text and/or a graphical indication (e.g., an arrow)) to move (e.g., point) the computer system in the elevation direction (e.g., to point the phone up). Including a prompt to move the computer system in the elevation direction in the instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the elevation direction provides the user with more information about how to move the computer system into alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0397In accordance with some embodiments, the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system includes a change in elevation of the predetermined portion of the computer system (e.g., closer to alignment with the one or more satellites); and changing (e.g., automatically or dynamically) the appearance of the alignment element includes moving (e.g., on a display) a graphical representation of the one or more satellites (e.g., 929) toward a graphical representation of the computer system (e.g., e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0035 f0036">FIGS. 9H-9I</figref> at 932) (in some embodiments, the change in the appearance of the alignment element is in accordance with (e.g., proportional to and/or in the same direction as a direction and/or magnitude of) the change in elevation of the computer system. In some embodiments, as the user adjusts the elevation of the phone closer to alignment, a satellite is shown closer to the phone). Moving a graphical representation of the one or more satellites toward a graphical representation of the computer system in response to detecting a change in elevation of the predetermined portion of the computer system provides the user with more information about the change in element of the predetermined portion of the computer system and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0398In accordance with some embodiments, the instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the elevation direction are displayed in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly in an azimuth direction for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0034 f0035">FIGS. 9G-9H</figref>; e.g., after providing prompts to correct the azimuth and detecting a change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system that aligns the computer system with the one or more satellites in the azimuth direction. Displaying the instructions to adjust the orientation of the computer system in the elevation direction in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly in an azimuth direction for communication with the one or more satellites simplifies alignment of the computer system by instructing the user to align the computer system in one direction at a time and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0399In accordance with some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input and in accordance with a determination that there is an obstruction (e.g., a wall or building or the computer system is indoors, and/or the computer system is having trouble finding the one or more satellites) that is preventing the computer system from communicating with the one or more satellites, the computer system displays a prompt (e.g., 908C, 908D; e.g., instructions, text, and/or graphical indicator(s)) to avoid and/or remove the obstruction. Displaying a prompt to avoid and/or remove an obstruction that is preventing the computer system from communicating with the one or more satellites provides the user with more information about how to move the computer system into alignment with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0400In accordance with some embodiments, the prompt to avoid and/or remove the obstruction includes textual instructions to move the computer system outside. Including textual instructions to move the computer system outside provides the user with clearer instructions on how to align the computer system with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0401In accordance with some embodiments, the prompt to avoid and/or remove the obstruction includes a graphical representation of the one or more satellites (e.g., 929) that is displayed with a brightness that is less than a brightness of other graphical elements displayed concurrently with the graphical representation of the one or more satellites. In some embodiments, the computer system dims (e.g., reduces the brightness over time of) the graphical representation of the one or more satellites when there is determined to be an obstruction. In some embodiments, the graphical representation of the one or more satellites is displayed with a lower brightness when there is determined to be an obstruction than when there is no determination that there is an obstruction (e.g., in accordance with a determination that there is not an obstruction, the graphical representation of the one or more satellites is displayed with a greater brightness than when there is a determination that there is an obstruction). Including a graphical representation of the one or more satellites that is displayed with a brightness that is less than a brightness of other graphical elements displayed concurrently with the graphical representation of the one or more satellites provides the user with a visual indication that an obstruction is preventing the computer system from communicating with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

Displaying a graphical indication that the computer system is able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites provides the user with a visual indication that the computer system can be aligned properly and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0409In accordance with some embodiments, while the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode (in some embodiments, a mode in which a compressed message format (e.g., a format with limited data for transmission via non-terrestrial wireless communication) is used to communicate (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>). In some embodiments, the computer system enters the low-bandwidth communication mode in response to receiving a request to enter the low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., in response to receiving a request to communicate via a non-terrestrial wireless communication)), the computer system displays (e.g., in a banner), via the display generation component, a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of a connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites. In some embodiments, the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites is selectable. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites, the computer system displays (e.g., re-displays) the alignment element (e.g., with instructions for reconnecting with the one or more satellites (e.g., larger instructions than in the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites)). Displaying a visual indication of a connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites while the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode provides a user with an indication of whether the computer system can communicate in the lo-bandwidth communication mode, which provides improved visual feedback.

0410In accordance with some embodiments, displaying the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites includes: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (and/or is not currently able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g.., the one or more satellites are obstructed and/or out of communication range of the computer system)), displaying (e.g., in the banner and/or concurrently with the visual indication of the connection status of the computer system with the one or more satellites) a visual indication (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of an error condition (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0033">FIG. 9F</figref>; e.g., an indication of the reason why the computer system cannot currently communicate with the one or more satellites). In some embodiments, displaying the visual indication of an error condition includes ceasing to display a visual indication that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites or is connected with the one or more satellites (e.g., the visual indication of the connection status changes from a connected state to an error condition state). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites, the computer system ceases display of the visual indication of an error condition and displays (e.g., re-displays) a visual indication that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites or is connected with the one or more satellites (e.g., the visual indication of the connection status changes from an error condition state to a connected state). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the computer system changes from being not aligned properly to being aligned properly, or from being aligned properly to being not aligned properly, the computer system outputs a sounds and/or tactile output (e.g., before, after, and/or concurrently with changing the display of the visual indication of the connection status). Displaying a visual indication of an error condition in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites provides the user with more information about the alignment of the computer system with the one or more satellites and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0411In accordance with some embodiments, after detecting the user input and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites, the computer system sends (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>; e.g., automatically and/or without further user input) a message via the one or more satellites that includes content corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication. In some embodiments, the message includes content (e.g., text and/or location information) provided (e.g., input) by a user. Sending a message via the one or more satellites that includes content corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication after detecting the user input and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites allows the computer system to automatically send the communication when the computer system becomes aligned properly with the one or more satellites without additional inputs, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0412In accordance with some embodiments, after detecting the user input and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites, the computer system displays (e.g., automatically and/or without further user input) a user interface of a messaging application (e.g., 902K or 902L). In some embodiments, the user interface of the messaging application includes (e.g., displays) a message conversation that includes a message sent via the one or more satellites that includes content corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication. In some embodiments, displaying the user interface of the messaging application includes ceasing display of the alignment element (e.g., the user interface of the messaging application replaces the alignment element) or displaying a smaller version (e.g., reducing the displayed size) of the alignment element. Displaying a user interface of a messaging application after detecting the user input and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites displays a user interface of a messaging application without additional input and provides an efficient technique for sending additional communications (e.g., follow up communications), which provides improved visual feedback, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0413In accordance with some embodiments, the computer system displays (e.g., before detecting the user input corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication, after detecting the user input corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication, while in a low-bandwidth communication mode, and/or while concurrently displaying the alignment element) a selectable end-satellite-communication option (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref> at 914; e.g., a button, icon, affordance, and/or selectable graphical element) that, when selected, causes the computer system to cease operating in a satellite (or low-bandwidth) communication mode (e.g., cease display of the alignment element). Displaying a selectable end-satellite-communication option that causes the computer system to cease operating in a satellite communication mode provides the user with an efficient technique for exiting the satellite communication mode without additional inputs, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0414In accordance with some embodiments, in response to detecting the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system and in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system properly aligns the computer system for communication with the one or more satellites, the computer system provides a first tactile output (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0037">FIGS. 9J</figref> and <figref idref="f0040">9M</figref> at 619; e.g., via a haptic feedback component) at the computer system; and while the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites, the computer system detects a second change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system; and in response to detecting the second change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system in accordance with a determination that the detected second change in orientation (azimuth and/or attitude) of the predetermined portion of the computer system causes the computer system to be moved out of alignment for communication with the one or more satellites, the computer system provides a second tactile output (e.g., via a haptic feedback component) at the computer system. Providing a tactile output when the computer system becomes properly aligned with the one or more satellites and when the computer system moves out of alignment with the one or more satellites provides the user with an indication when these conditions occur without requiring additional input, which provides improved feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0415In accordance with the claimed embodiments, after detecting the user input corresponding to a request to communicate via satellite communication (e.g., while displaying the alignment element and/or while the computer system is in a low-bandwidth communication mode), in response to detecting that terrestrial communication (e.g., cellular service) is available, the computer system displays (e.g., as a banner) a selectable terrestrial communication option (e.g., as seen at <figref idref="f0041">FIG. 9N</figref> at 926); the computer system detects selection of the terrestrial communication option; and in response to detecting the selection of the terrestrial communication option, the computer system initiates communication (e.g., a call and/or text) via the terrestrial communication (e.g., to communicate with emergency services). Displaying a terrestrial communication option in response to detecting that terrestrial communication is available provides the user with a visual indication that terrestrial communication is available and an efficient technique for initiating communication via the terrestrial communication, which provides improved visual feedback, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0416In accordance with some embodiments, displaying the terrestrial communication option includes ceasing display of the alignment element (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0041">FIG. 9N</figref>; e.g., replacing the alignment element with the terrestrial communication option). Ceasing display of the alignment element provides a visual indication that a satellite connection is no longer required for communication, which provides improved visual feedback.

0417In accordance with some embodiments, while terrestrial communication is available, the computer system displays (e.g., maintaining display of and/or continuing to display) a set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 604M; e.g., affordances, buttons, graphical elements, graphical objects, and/or icons) corresponding to respective content for a communication (e.g., information that can be selected by a user to be included in the report), wherein the set of selectable communication-content options are specific to a low-bandwidth communication mode (e.g., the options are only available and/or presented for the low-bandwidth communication mode, even if terrestrial communication is available). In some embodiments, the options are not presented in a messaging user interface of a messaging application that displays a message conversation and/or a field for composing a message for the message conversation. Displaying, while terrestrial communication is available, a set of selectable communication-content options corresponding to respective content for a communication, where the set of selectable communication-content options are specific to a low-bandwidth communication mode, provides a visual indication that the techniques for selecting content for a low-bandwidth communication are available while terrestrial communication is available, which provides improved visual feedback.

0418In accordance with some embodiments: in accordance with (or, optionally, in response to) a determination that an error condition is met (e.g., the computer system is within a threshold position of not being aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites, a strength of a signal between the computer system and the one or more satellites is below a threshold level, a consistency of a signal between the computer system and the one or more satellites is below a threshold level, and/or the computer system has a poor connection with the one or more satellites) (e.g., there is a poor connection between the computer system and the satellite, as shown in <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M</figref>): the computer system provides a prompt (e.g., 926 in <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M</figref>) (e.g., displaying a graphical element, outputting audio, and/or producing a tactile output) that includes instructions (e.g., text, a graphic (such as an arrow), a color, and/or an animation) for correcting the error condition (and, optionally, displaying (e.g., concurrently with providing the prompt) an indication of the error condition, such as "poor connection" or "low signal"). In some embodiments, the instructions include directions to properly align the computer system with the one or more satellites. In accordance with some embodiments, after providing the prompt that includes instructions for correcting the error condition: in accordance with a determination that the error condition has been met (e.g., the error condition has not been corrected, the error condition has been maintained, and/or the error condition still exists) for at least a threshold amount of time (e.g., a non-zero threshold amount of time such as 5, 30, 90 seconds, or 1, 5, 10, or 15 minutes), the computer system provides a status indication (e.g., 926 in <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M1</figref>) (e.g., a visual indication such as text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation or a non-visual indication such as a sound and/or tactile output) that indicates that the computer system is not connected with (e.g., is disconnected from and/or is unable to communicate with) the one or more satellites. In some embodiments, the threshold amount of time is a predetermined amount of time since determining that the error condition has been met or since displaying the prompt that includes instructions for correcting the error condition. Providing a prompt that includes instructions for correcting an error condition in accordance with a determination that the error condition is met and before indicating that the computer system is not connected with the one or more satellites notifies the user of the error condition and helps the user correct the error condition before the computer system becomes disconnected from the one or more satellites, which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input, provides improved visual feedback, and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation (e.g., to maintain and/or re-establish a connection with the one or more satellites).

0419In accordance with some embodiments, the computer system sends (e.g., after the computer system has been aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites and/or while the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites) a message via satellite communication (e.g., via the one or more satellites); and after sending the message via satellite communication and before receiving a reply to the message, the computer system displays a reply status element (e.g., "WAITING TO RECEIVE" in banner 926 in <figref idref="f0038">FIGS. 9L</figref> and <figref idref="f0040">9M</figref>) (e.g., a prompt, a notification, a graphical indicator, and/or a textual indication, such as "waiting to receive") that indicates that the computer system has sent the message and has not received a reply to the message. In some embodiments, the reply status element is displayed concurrently with (or included in) the alignment element. In some embodiments, after displaying the reply status element, in accordance with a determination that a reply to the message has been received (or, optionally, in response to receiving a reply to the message), the computer system ceases displaying (e.g., removes) the reply status element (e.g., the computer system displays the alignment element without the reply status element). In some embodiments, after displaying the reply status element, in accordance with a determination that a reply to the message has been received (or, optionally, in response to receiving a reply to the message), the computer system updates the reply status element to indicate that a reply to the message has been received. Displaying an element that indicates that the computer system has sent the message and has not received a reply to the message after sending the message via satellite communication and before receiving a reply to the message provides the user with information about whether or not a reply to the message has been received and helps the user avoid attempting to send additional messages, which provides improve visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation

0420In accordance with some embodiments, after (or, optionally, while) displaying the alignment element (e.g., 931): in accordance with a determination that terrestrial communication (e.g., terrestrial wireless communication, Wi-Fi, and/or cellular communication) is (or, optionally, has become) available (e.g., as in <figref idref="f0041">FIG. 9N or FIG. 9N1</figref>): the computer system ceases display of the alignment element and displays a terrestrial communication element (e.g., the cellular graphic in 926 in <figref idref="f0041">FIG. 9N</figref> or the Wi-Fi graphic in 926 in <figref idref="f0041">FIG. 9N1</figref>) (e.g., a notification and/or a prompt) that indicates that terrestrial communication is available. In some embodiments, the terrestrial communication element includes a selectable terrestrial communication option that, when selected, causes the computer system to initiate a process to communicate via terrestrial communication (e.g., via a text message, phone call, and/or sending the emergency report while in the emergency reporting mode). In some embodiments, the alignment element is displayed at a first position and the terrestrial communication element replaces the alignment element at the first position. Ceasing display of the alignment element and displaying an indication that terrestrial communication is available in accordance with the determination that terrestrial communication is available provides a visual indication that a potentially preferable method of communication is available, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0421In accordance with some embodiments, while the computer system is aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites: in accordance with a determination that the computer system will not be able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites within a threshold time period (e.g., the one or more satellites will be out of range and/or out of view of the computer system) (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O</figref>), the computer system displays a graphical indication (e.g., 908O) (e.g., text, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of an amount of time (e.g., an estimated amount of time) until the computer system will not be able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites. In some embodiments, the computer system displays a graphical indication of an amount of time until there will not be any satellites available for the computer system to connect to for communication in accordance with a determination that there will not be any satellites available for the computer system to connect to for communication (e.g., there will be no satellites available to the computer system for communication; the computer system will not be able to connect to any satellites for communication; there will not be any satellites in range or in view of the computer system) within a threshold time period. In some embodiments, the graphical indication of the amount of time until the computer system will not be able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites is displayed concurrently with the alignment element (e.g., after detecting the user input corresponding to a request to communicate via satellite communication). Displaying a graphical indication of the amount of time until the computer system will not be able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites notifies the user that the computer system will lose connection with the one or more satellites, encourages the user to align with the one or more satellites, and/or allows the user to send a message while the computer system is able to be aligned properly for communication, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0422In accordance with some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not able to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., the one or more satellites are out of range of the computer system) (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0042">FIG. 9O1</figref>), the computer system displays a graphical indication (e.g., 908O1) (e.g., text, a textual indication of time, a graphic, a color, and/or an animation) of an amount of time (e.g., an estimated amount of time) until the computer system will be able to be aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., until one of (e.g., the next) satellite of the one or more satellites will be in range). In some embodiments, the computer system displays a graphical indication of an amount of time until the computer system will be able to be aligned properly for communication with at least one of the one or more satellites (e.g., an amount of time until the computer system will be able to connect with at least one of the one or more satellites; an amount of time until at least one of the one or more satellites will be available to, in range of, and/or in view of the computer system) in accordance with a determination that there are no (e.g., there are not any) satellites available to the computer system for communication (e.g., there are no satellites that the computer system is able to connect to; the computer system is not able to connect to any of the one or more satellites; there are no satellites in range or in view of the computer system; all of the one or more satellites are out of range of the computer system). In some embodiments, the graphical indication of the amount of time until the computer system will be able to be aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites is displayed concurrently with the alignment element (e.g., after detecting the user input corresponding to a request to communicate via satellite communication). Displaying a graphical indication of the amount of time until the computer system will be able to be aligned for communication with one or more satellites notifies the user of the amount of time until the computer system will have an opportunity to connect, helps the user avoid attempting to send a message when communication is not possible, and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors (e.g., by not attempting to align the computer system when proper alignment is not possible), which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0423In some embodiments, after detecting the user input corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication (e.g., while displaying the alignment element): in response to a determination that a predefined action has been successfully performed (e.g., the computer system has successfully connected to one or more satellites or a message has been successfully sent via satellite communication), the computer system displays a message (e.g., 614T, 614U, 624T, 624U, 908J, "Waiting to receive" in 926 in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9L</figref> indicates that a message has been sent, 908L, and/or 908M) that indicates that the predefined action has been successfully performed. In some embodiments, the computer system concurrently displays the alignment element and the message that indicates that the predefined action has been successfully performed (e.g., the computer system displays the message that indicates that the predefined action has been successfully performed while displaying the alignment element). Displaying a message that indicates that the predefined action has been successfully performed in response to a determination that a predefined action has been successfully performed enables the computer system to inform the user that a particularly relevant action has occurred while not distracting the user with notifications about non-predefined actions, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about the success of an important action that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0424In some embodiments, while displaying the alignment element, the computer system outputs a non-visual (e.g., audio and/or haptic) output (e.g., 619 and/or 650), including: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is in a first satellite connection state (e.g., connecting, connected, not connected, poor connection, aligned, not aligned, satellite out of range, and/or satellite obstructed), outputting the non-visual output having a first characteristic (e.g., frequency, magnitude, and/or pattern); and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is in a second satellite connection state that is different from the first satellite connection state, outputting the non-visual output having a second characteristic that is different from the first characteristic (e.g., the non-visual output has a frequency, magnitude, and/or pattern that is based on the satellite connection state of the computer system). For example, 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0034">FIG. 9G</figref> has a different characteristic from 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>). In some embodiments, the computer system changes the non-visual output in response to detecting a change in the satellite connection state of the computer system. Outputting a non-visual output with different characteristics based on the satellite connection state informs the user of a state (or change in state) of the computer system even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, enables the user to quickly and easily determine the satellite connection state without having to navigate a user interface, and enables the user to respond to the state of the computer system to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about an important change in the connection status of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0425In some embodiments, outputting the non-visual output occurs while the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., while the computer system is tracking one or more satellites; e.g., computer system 600 outputs 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0037">FIGS. 9J</figref>, <figref idref="f0038">9K</figref>, and/or 9L). In some embodiments, the computer system repeats (e.g., at regular or predetermined intervals) output of the non-visual output while the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., the non-visual output is ongoing when tracking a satellite). Outputting the non-visual output while the computer system is aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites informs the user of the state of the computer system, even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, and gives the user confidence that the computer system is maintaining alignment with the one or more satellites without having to navigate a user interface, which provides improved feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0426In some embodiments, outputting the non-visual output occurs while the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites (e.g., while the computer system is not tracking one or more satellites and/or when the computer system ceases to be aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites; e.g., 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M</figref> and/or 9M1). In some embodiments, the computer system repeats (e.g., a regular or predetermined intervals) output of the non-visual output while the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites. Outputting the non-visual output while the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites informs the user that the alignment has changed and/or is no longer aligned without having to navigate the user interface, even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, enables the user to respond to the change in alignment status, and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Feedback about an important change in the alignment status of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0427In some embodiments, after detecting the user input corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication (e.g., while displaying the alignment element): in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that the computer system is aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites, the computer system displays an indication (e.g., a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph; e.g., "Keep Pointing to Satellite to Send &amp; Receive" in 926 and/or "Connecting" in 2106 in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21H</figref>) that the computer system is connecting to (e.g., is attempting to connect to and/or is in the process of establishing a connection with) the one or more satellites (e.g., "connecting", "keep pointing to satellite", and/or "this may take a few minutes"); and after displaying the indication that the computer system is connecting to the one or more satellites: in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that the computer system is connected to the one or more satellites, the computer system displays an indication (e.g., a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that the computer system is connected to the one or more satellites (e.g., "connected" and/or "keep pointing to satellite"; e.g., "Connected" in 2106 in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21I</figref>), wherein the indication that the computer system is connected to the one or more satellites is different from the indication that the computer system is connecting to the one or more satellites. Displaying indications when the computer system is connecting to and then actually connected to the one or more satellites provides the user with progressive feedback throughout the process of establishing a connection with the one or more satellites to reinforce that the connection process is progressing and enables the user to align the computer system with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0428In some embodiments, after detecting the user input corresponding to a request to communicate via satellite communication and while the computer system is connected for communication with one or more satellites, the computer system sends a message (e.g., 906K) via the one or more satellites, wherein the message includes a graphical (e.g., non-textual) representation (e.g., 656) of at least a portion of the message (e.g., the message includes an image, symbol, thumbnail, and/or icon associated with content of the message, such as a medical ID icon, an emergency alert icon, an image of a car to indicate a vehicle issue, a doctor's bag icon to indicate sickness or injury, a shield icon to indicate a crime, a cross symbol to indicate that someone is lost or trapped, and/or an image of a fire to indicate a fire). Including a graphical representation of the message sent via the one or more satellites provides a visual indication of the content of the message that can allow the user to more quickly and easily determine the content of the message and/or that the proper information was sent, which provides improved visual feedback to the user.

0429In some embodiments, after detecting the user input corresponding to a request to communicate via satellite communication, the computer system initiates transmission of, via the one or more satellites, a message (e.g., in response to a request to send the message; e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>); after (or, in some embodiments, while) initiating transmission of the message: in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that the computer system is connected for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., alignment and/or connection with the one or more satellites is complete), the computer system displays an indication (e.g., 910J, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that a messages application is being opened; and after displaying the indication that the messages application is being opened (e.g., in response to detecting selection of the indication that the messages application is being opened or in accordance with a determination that a predetermined amount of time has elapsed), the computer system displays a user interface (e.g., 902K) of the messages application. In some embodiments, the indication that the messages application is being opened is selectable. In some embodiments, the indication that the messages application is being opened is displayed concurrently with an indication of the status of the transmission of the message and/or the alignment element. In some embodiments, the user interface of the messages application includes a representation of the message, e.g., in a message conversation region that includes one or more messages between a user associated with the computer system and a recipient of the message. Displaying an indication that the messages application is being opened, and then opening the messages application, after initiating transmission of the message enables the computer system to automatically display the message to the user and provide an interface for the user to send additional messages and/or view responses without requiring additional user input, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0430In some embodiments, displaying the alignment element includes displaying an animation (e.g., the animation shown and described with reference to <figref idref="f0045">FIGS. 9R-9U</figref>) that includes: a graphical representation (e.g., 929, an icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of a satellite; a graphical representation (e.g., 932, an icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of the computer system; and a graphical representation (e.g., 933, an icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of a signal (e.g., a wave and/or one or more curved lines) going between (e.g., back and forth between) the graphical representation of the satellite and the graphical representation of the computer system over time (e.g., from the graphical representation of the satellite to the graphical representation of the computer system and/or from the graphical representation of the computer system to the graphical representation of the satellite). In some embodiments, the animation includes the graphical representation of the satellite alternating (e.g., rotating back and forth) between a first state (e.g., a first orientation) and a second state (e.g., a second orientation) over time. Displaying an animation of a signal going between the satellite and the computer system informs the user that there is communication back and forth between the computer system and the one or more satellites, reminds the user that alignment with the one or more satellites is required to both send and receive communication, and reminds the user that satellite communications may take a longer time to send and receive than terrestrial communications, which provides improved visual feedback to the user.

0431In some embodiments, displaying the alignment element includes: in accordance with a determination that the alignment element is in a first display state (e.g., an expanded user interface, such as a full-size and/or full-screen user interface as in, e.g., <figref idref="f0037">FIG. 9J</figref>, or a full-size banner, such as 926 in, e.g., <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9L</figref>), displaying the animation while concurrently displaying a textual indication (e.g., 908J or "Connected" in 926 in <figref idref="f0038">FIG. 9L</figref>) of a satellite connection state (e.g., connecting, connected, not connected, poor connection, aligned, not aligned, satellite out of range, and/or satellite obstructed) of the computer system; and in accordance with a determination that the alignment element is in a second display state (e.g., a reduced-size, smaller, and/or non-expanded user interface, such as a banner or a minimized banner, such as 926a in <figref idref="f0039">FIG. 9L1</figref>) that is different from the first display state, displaying the animation without concurrently displaying the textual indication of the satellite connection state of the computer system (e.g., minimized banner 926a in <figref idref="f0039">FIGS. 9L1-9L1D</figref> does not include a textual indication of the satellite connection state of the computer system). Displaying the animation with or without the textual indication of the satellite connection state based on the display state of the alignment element enables the computer system to adjust the amount of information provided to the user based on the context without user input and to conserve space on the user interface when possible, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0432In some embodiments, while displaying the alignment element (e.g., in a reduced-size user interface, such as a banner, or in an expanded user interface, such as a full-screen user interface): in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., that the computer system has transitioned from being aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites to being not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites), the computer system outputs a non-visual output (e.g., 619, 650, a haptic output, and/or an audio output) indicating that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., the computer system outputs 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036">FIGS. 9F-9I</figref>, <figref idref="f0040">9M</figref>, <figref idref="f0040">9M1</figref>, <figref idref="f0103">19I</figref>, <figref idref="f0111">21F, 21G</figref>). Outputting a non-visual output indicating that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites informs the user of a state (or change in state) of the computer system even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, enables the user to quickly and easily determine the alignment status of the computer system without navigating the user interface, and enables the user to respond to the change in alignment status, which provides improved feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about an important change in the alignment status of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0433In some embodiments, while displaying the alignment element (e.g., in a reduced-size user interface, such as a banner, or in an expanded user interface, such as a full-screen user interface): in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that the computer system is not connected for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., that the computer system has transitioned from being connected for communication with one or more satellites to being not connected for communication with one or more satellites; that the computer system has lost connection for communication with one or more satellites), the computer system outputs a non-visual output (e.g., 619, 650, a haptic output, and/or an audio output) indicating that the computer system is not connected for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., the computer system outputs 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036">FIGS. 9D-9I</figref>, <figref idref="f0040">9M1</figref>, <figref idref="f0042">9O1</figref>, <figref idref="f0043">9P</figref>, <figref idref="f0111">21F, 21G</figref>, and/or <figref idref="f0113">21J</figref>). Outputting a non-visual output indicating that the computer system is not connected for communication with one or more satellites in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected for communication with one or more satellites provides feedback to the user of an important change in the connection status of the computer system if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, and enables the user to respond to the change in connection status, which provides improved feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about an important change in the connection status of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0434In some embodiments, after detecting the user input (and, in some embodiments, while displaying the alignment element): in accordance with a determination that a satellite cannot be detected (e.g., that there is an obstruction, such as a wall, tree, or building, or that the computer system is indoors), the computer system provides (e.g., outputs and/or displays) an alert (e.g., 619, 650, 908C, 908D, a graphical alert, a haptic output, and/or an audio output) that an obstruction has been detected (e.g., "obstruction detected," "looking for satellite," "unable to connect," "poor connection," and/or "make sure you are outside with a clear view of the sky"). Providing an alert that an obstruction has been detected in accordance with a determination that a satellite cannot be detected provides the user with more information about what is preventing connection with a satellite and enables the user to connect the computer system with a satellite with fewer errors, which provides improved feedback, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0435In some embodiments, providing the alert that an obstruction has been detected includes outputting a non-visual output (e.g., 619, 650, a haptic output, and/or an audio output) indicating that an obstruction has been detected (e.g., the computer system outputs 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0031">FIG. 9D</figref>). Outputting a non-visual output indicating that an obstruction has been detected informs the user of the obstruction, even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, provides the user with additional information about what is preventing connection with a satellite, and enables the user to respond to the obstruction and to connect the computer system with a satellite with fewer errors, which provides improved feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Feedback about an important change in the ability of the computer system to connect to a satellite that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0436In some embodiments, after detecting the user input and after a determination that a satellite is not available to the computer system for communication: in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that a satellite is available (e.g., has become available after not being available) to the computer system for communication, the computer system outputs a non-visual output (e.g., 619, 650, a haptic output, and/or an audio output) indicating that a satellite is available (e.g., the computer system outputs 619 and/or 650 in <figref idref="f0033">FIGS. 9F</figref>, <figref idref="f0043">9P</figref>, and/or 21K). Outputting a non-visual output indicating that a satellite is available in accordance with a determination that a satellite is available to the computer system for communication informs the user that connection with a satellite is possible, even if the user is not looking at a display of the computer system, and enables the user to respond to the availability of a satellite and connect and/or align the computer system with a satellite with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about an important change in the availability of a satellite that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0437In some embodiments, after detecting the user input, the computer system displays a user interface element (e.g., 926, 926a, a banner, and/or pop-up window), wherein displaying the alignment element (e.g., 926 or 926a) includes displaying the alignment element in the user interface element (e.g., displaying 931 in 926 or displaying 931a in 926a); while displaying the alignment element in the user interface element, the computer system detects a request (e.g., 936L) to dismiss (e.g., cease display of) the user interface element; and in response to detecting the request to dismiss the user interface element: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is connected for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., as in <figref idref="f0038">FIGS. 9K</figref> and/or 9L), the computer system dismisses (e.g., ceases display of or reducing the size of) the user interface element including the alignment element; and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected for communication with a satellite (e.g., as in <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M1</figref>), the computer system maintains display of the user interface element (e.g., at the same size or, in some embodiments, reducing the displayed size of the user interface element, such as from 926 to 926a). In some embodiments, the request to dismiss the user interface element includes a swipe (e.g., an upward swipe) directed to the user interface element. Dismissing or maintaining display of the user interface element in response to detecting a request to dismiss the element based on whether the computer system is connected for communication with one or more satellites enables the computer system to adjust the amount of information provided to the user based on the context and conserve space on the user interface when possible, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0438In some embodiments, after displaying the alignment element, the computer system ceases display of (or, in some embodiments, reducing the size of) the alignment element (e.g., in response to detecting a request to dismiss the alignment element) (e.g., ceasing display of 931 and, in some embodiments, displaying 931a); and after ceasing display of the alignment element, in response to a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites (e.g., that the computer system has changed from being aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites to being not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites; e.g., as in <figref idref="f0040">FIG. 9M</figref>), the computer system displays the alignment element (e.g., displaying 931 or 931a, or displaying a user interface element, such as a banner (e.g., 926 or 926a) or pop-up window, that includes the alignment element). Displaying the alignment element after ceasing display of the alignment element and in response to a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites enables the computer system to conserve space on the user interface when alignment is proper and to automatically inform the user about misalignment without user input, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about an important change in the alignment status of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0439Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1000 are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above and below. For example, method 700, 800, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 1000. For example, method 1000 can be performed as part of a process for initiating a communication in accordance with method 700 and/or 800. For example, method 1000 can include selecting a second recipient for the communication, in accordance with method 1200. For example, method 1800 can initiate method 1000 from a messaging application. For example, the alignment element described in method 1000 can be displayed in the alternative communication network test mode in method 2000. For example, method 1000 can be the process corresponding to the user interface object in method 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

0440<figref idref="f0047 f0048 f0049 f0050 f0051 f0052 f0053">FIGS. 11A-11P</figref> illustrate exemplary user interfaces for managing recipients of messages in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in <figref idref="f0054">FIG. 12</figref>.

0441<figref idref="f0047 f0048 f0049 f0050 f0051">FIGS. 11A-11J</figref> illustrate an exemplary scenario where a user of computer system 600, John Appleseed, is sending an emergency communication to a first recipient, a search and rescue service. In this exemplary scenario, computer system 600 also sends the message to a second recipient, Jane Appleseed, in response to a request provided by John Appleseed during the process of initiating the emergency communication. In some embodiments, initiating and/or completing the emergency communication includes performing one or more of the methods described with reference to <figref idref="f0027">FIGS. 7</figref>, <figref idref="f0028">8</figref>, and/or 10.

0442In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1104A, 1104B, 1104C, 1104D, 1104E, 1104F, 1104G, and/or 1104H) is or includes a touch input (e.g., a tap gesture and/or a swipe gesture). In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1104A, 1104B, 1104C, 1104D, 1104E, 1104F, 1104G, and/or 1104H) is or includes a voice input (e.g., a voice command to select a user interface element or to activate a feature or perform a function, such as a feature or function associated with a user interface element). In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1104A, 1104B, 1104C, 1104D, 1104E, 1104F, 1104G, and/or 1104H) is or includes an air gesture (e.g., an air gesture to select a user interface element or to activate a feature or perform a function, such as a feature or function associated with a user interface element). In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1104A, 1104B, 1104C, 1104D, 1104E, 1104F, 1104G, and/or 1104H) is or includes activation (e.g., a press, a rotation, and/or a movement) of a hardware device (e.g., a button, a rotatable input mechanism, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, a mouse button, a button of a remote control, and/or a joystick). In some embodiments, any of the user interface elements described as being selected herein (e.g., an icon, affordance, button, and/or selectable option) is selected by activating a hardware device while the user interface element is in focus (e.g., highlighted, bolded, outlined, visually distinguished from other user interface elements, and/or located at or near a cursor).

0443In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>, computer system 600 displays query user interface 1102. Query user interface 1102 includes text 1102A that explains that the messaging conversation (e.g., chat), as well as emergency information provided during the process of initiating the emergency communication, can be shared with one or more emergency contacts (e.g., recipients other than the emergency service). In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>, the preselected emergency contacts include first contact 1102B1 ("Jane Appleseed"), who is currently designated to receive the chat, as indicated by checkmark indication 1102C, and second contact 1102B2 ("Maria Fender"), who is not currently designated to receive the chat (e.g., as indicated by the lack of a checkmark indication). In some embodiments, more than one contact is preselected by default to receive the chat. In some embodiments, no emergency contacts are preselected by default.

0444In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>, query user interface 1102 also includes an add contact affordance 1102D that, when selected, initiates a process for adding one or more additional contacts to potentially receive the chat. In some embodiments, add contact affordance 1102D, when selected, opens a contacts application for selecting contacts from a set of contacts stored on, or accessible from, computer system 600. In some embodiments, a selected contact need not have previously been designated as an emergency contact.

0445In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>, query user interface 1102 also includes a notify affordance 1102E, a don't notify affordance 1102F, and an end affordance 1102G. Notify affordance 1102E, when selected, causes one or more currently designated contacts to be selected as recipients for the chat and for emergency information (e.g., location information, information regarding the nature of the emergency) provided during the process of initiating the emergency communication or as the emergency communication is updated with additional messages and/or information. Don't notify affordance 1102F, when selected, causes the process for initiating the emergency communication to progress without designating any contacts (e.g., whether designated or not with checkmark indications) as recipients for the chat and for emergency information. End affordance 1102G, when selected, cancels the process for initiating the emergency communication without communications being sent to any recipients, including the search and rescue service. In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>, computer system 600 detects input 1104A (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) corresponding to notify affordance 1102E.

0446<figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11B</figref> depicts computer system 1100, a computer system belonging to user Jane Appleseed (e.g., a user corresponding to first contact 1102B1 of <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>). In some embodiments, computer system 1100 includes one or more features of computer system 600 and/or devices 100, 300, and 500. In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11B</figref>, computer system 1100 is shown at approximately the same time (10:09) at which computer system 600 was shown in <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>. In <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11B</figref>, computer system 1100 is currently in a display inactive state, with display screen 1106 off.

0447At <figref idref="f0048">FIG. 11C</figref>, in response to input 1104A of <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref>, computer system 600 belonging to user John Appleseed displays emergency messaging user interface 1108. In some embodiments, one or more additional interfaces (e.g., one or more interfaces of <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020">FIGS. 6M-6S</figref>) associated with the process for initiating the emergency communication are displayed after receiving input 1104A and prior to displaying emergency messaging user interface 1108. Emergency messaging user interface 1108 includes message bubble 1108A that includes certain information that has also been sent to a first recipient, the search and rescue service. Emergency messaging user interface 1108 also includes sharing indication 1108B that indicates that user Jane Appleseed has also been enabled to receive the chat with the search and rescue service and stop sharing affordance 1108D that, when selected, prevents sharing of future messages posted to the emergency communication (e.g., from the user of computer system 600 and/or from the emergency services) with Jane Appleseed. In some embodiments, had Jane Appleseed not been designated to receive the chat via query user interface 1102 as shown in <figref idref="f0047">FIG. 11A</figref> (e.g., Don't notify affordance 1102F was selected instead of notify affordance 1102E and/or Jane Appleseed was unchecked), emergency messaging user interface 1108 would not include sharing indication 1108B and the chat would not be shared with Jane Appleseed. Emergency messaging user interface 1108 also includes a set of composition affordances 1108C for composing additional messages to be added to the emergency messaging session with the search and rescue service.

0448At <figref idref="f0048">FIG. 11D</figref>, computer system 1100 belonging to Jane Appleseed displays, at 10:10, a wake screen user interface 1110 in response to receiving a notification triggered by receipt of the chat message sent from computer system 600. Wake screen user interface 1110 includes notification 11 10A that indicates that user John Appleseed has contacted the search and rescue service and shared that chat with user Jane Appleseed. At <figref idref="f0048">FIG. 11D</figref>, computer system 1100 detects input 1104B (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on notification 1110A.

0449At <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11E</figref>, computer system 600 belonging to John Appleseed displays emergency messaging user interface 1108 now with composition field 1108C1 populated with text 1112 ("WE ARE NEAR THE BIG TREE"), which is a second message being composed by John Appleseed (e.g., using composition affordances 1108). At <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11E</figref>, computer system 600 detects input 1104C (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on send affordance 1108C2.

0450At <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11F</figref>, computer system 1100 belonging to Jane Appleseed displays, in response to input 1104B on notification 1110A of <figref idref="f0048">FIG. 11D</figref>, messaging user interface 1114. Messaging user interface 1114 includes text 1114A providing information about the communication with emergency services initiated by user John Appleseed and an explanation of why the user of computer system 1100 is receiving a transcript of the chat; text 1114D provides similar information. In some embodiments, text 1114A and/or text 1114D also indicates that the emergency communication is being sent via satellite. Messaging user interface 1114 also includes message bubble 1114B which includes the information sent to the search and rescue service as well as location bubble 1114C that, when selected, provides additional location information for computer system 600 at the time the information in message bubble 1114B was sent. In some embodiments, additional location bubbles that provide location information for computer system 600 are displayed when new texts are added to the chat. In some embodiments, additional location bubbles that provide location information for computer system 600 are provided periodically (e.g., at regular periods (e.g., every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes)). Messaging user interface 1114 also includes learn more affordance that, when selected, provides further information about the shared emergency communication. In some embodiments, if one or more messages are sent by the emergency service (e.g., search and rescue service) messaging user interface 1114 would present those messages in separate message bubbles. As shown in <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11F</figref>, messaging user interface 1114 does not include composition affordances for composing a response that can be added to the chat (e.g., sent to John Appleseed and/or the search and rescue services). Thus, messaging user interface 1114 is used only to review (e.g., passively review) chat content posted by John Appleseed and/or the search and rescue services, both of whom are active participants in the chat. Messaging user interface 1114 does include messaging affordance 1114E that, when selected, initiates a process for sending messages to John Appleseed (e.g., via a separate message conversation (e.g., a conversation that does not also include the search and rescue services) and/or a separate messaging user interface). At <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11F</figref>, computer system 1100 detects input 1104D (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on learn more affordance 1114E.

0451At <figref idref="f0050">FIG. 11G</figref>, in response to input 1104D at <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11E</figref>, computer system 600 belonging to John Appleseed updates the display of messaging user interface 1108 to now include message bubble 1116 (e.g., "WE ARE NEAR THE BIG TREE") and sends the message to both the search and rescue service and user Jane Appleseed.

0452At <figref idref="f0050">FIG. 11H</figref>, in response to receiving the additional chat content sent by computer system 600 in response to input 1104D, computer system 1100 belonging to Jane Appleseed updates the display of messaging user interface 1114 to include message bubble 1118 (e.g., "WE ARE NEAR THE BIG TREE") and location bubble 1120 that, when selected, provides additional location information for computer system 600 at the time the information in message bubble 1118 was sent. At <figref idref="f0050">FIG. 11H</figref>, computer system 1100 detects input 1104E on location bubble 1120.

0453At <figref idref="f0051">FIG. 11I</figref>, in response to input 1104E at <figref idref="f0050">FIG. 11H</figref>, computer system 1100 displays location user interface 1122 that includes location marker 1122A that marks the received location of computer system 600 at the time the information in message bubble 1118 was sent; location marker 1122A also includes the text of the message itself (e.g., "WE ARE NEAR THE BIG TREE"). Location user interface 1122 also includes location marker 1122B that marks the received location of computer system 600 at the time the information in message bubble 1108A was sent. Location markers 1122A and 1122B are overlaid over a map of an area that includes both locations (e.g., a scrollable map). Location user interface 1122 also includes end affordance 1122C that, when selected, causes computer system 1100 to redisplay messaging user interface 1114 as seen in <figref idref="f0050">FIG. 11H</figref>.

0454At <figref idref="f0051">FIG. 11J</figref>, in response to input 1104D at <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11F</figref>, computer system 1100 displays additional information user interface 1124 that includes text 1124A that provides additional information about the emergency communication. In some embodiments, the additional information includes an explanation as to why the user of computer system 1100 is receiving the chat transcript and/or why a response cannot be posted to the chat.

0455<figref idref="f0052 f0053">FIGS. 11K-11P</figref> provide different embodiments of user interfaces illustrating how emergency messages can be grouped or not grouped with one or more previously sent messages from the same sender (e.g., John Appleseed) in a messaging conversation management user interface of a messaging application.

0456At <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11K</figref>, computer system 1100 displays, in a messaging conversation management user interface 1126, the emergency communication receiving from John Appleseed in message conversation 1126A that is separate from message conversation 1126B that includes one or more previous messages sent by user John Appleseed that were not emergency communications and that were not also sent to the search and rescue service (or another emergency service). Message conversation 1126A is also separate from message conversation 1126C, which includes one or more previous messages in a conversation that included John Appleseed and other users (e.g., users Mom and Dad), and also separate from a message conversation 1126D that did not include John Appleseed. In some embodiments, message conversation 1126A also includes other emergency communications (SOS communications) received from user John Appleseed or one or more other users so that emergency communications from multiple users can be reviewed together by selecting message conversation 1126A. At <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11K</figref>, computer system 1100 detects input 1104F on message conversation 1126A.

0457At <figref idref="f0051">FIG. 11J</figref>, computer system 1100 displays, in a messaging conversation management user interface 1128, the emergency communication receiving from John Appleseed in message conversation 1128A that is separate from message conversation 1128B that includes one or more previous messages sent by user John Appleseed that were not emergency communications and that were not also sent to the search and rescue service (or another emergency service). Message conversation 1128A is also separate from message conversation 1128C, which includes one or more previous messages in a conversation that included John Appleseed and other users (e.g., users Mom and Dad), and also separate from a message conversation 1128D that did not include John Appleseed. At <figref idref="f0051">FIG. 11J</figref>, message conversation 1128A is specific to emergency communications for John Appleseed ("John &amp; SOS") and therefore would not include other emergency communications (SOS communications) received from one or more users other than John Appleseed. At <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11L</figref>, computer system 1100 detects input 1104G on message conversation 1128A.

0458At <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11M</figref>, computer system 1100 displays, in a messaging conversation management user interface 1130, the emergency communication receiving from John Appleseed in message conversation 1130A that also includes one or more previous messages received from user John Appleseed. At <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11M</figref>, message conversation 1130B includes one or more previous messages in a conversation with John Appleseed as well as Mom and Dad and message conversation 1130C includes one or more previous messages in a conversation with Sister. Thus, in the embodiment of <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11M</figref>, the emergency communications from John Appleseed are grouped together with other messages in conversations with user John Appleseed (e.g., just user John Appleseed and/or just John Appleseed and an emergency service). At <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11M</figref>, computer system 1100 detects input 1104H on message conversation 1130A.

0459At <figref idref="f0053">FIG. 11N</figref>, in response to input 1104F at <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11K</figref>, computer system 1100 displays messaging user interface 1132. In some embodiments, messaging user interface 1132 includes one or more features of messaging user interface 1114, described above. Messaging user interface 1132 includes message bubble 1132A that includes certain information that has also been sent to a first recipient, the search and rescue service. In some embodiments, as discussed above with reference to <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11K</figref>, messaging user interface 1132 would also include one or more other emergency communications (SOS communications) received from user John Appleseed or one or more other users so that emergency communications from multiple users, received by Jane Appleseed, would be presented together.

0460At <figref idref="f0053">FIG. 11O</figref>, in response to input 1104G at <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11L</figref>, computer system 1100 displays messaging user interface 1134. In some embodiments, messaging user interface 1134 includes one or more features of messaging user interface 1114, described above. Messaging user interface 1134 includes message bubble 1134A which indicates that a "YES" reply must be received at computer system 1100 to receive details of the emergency communication from John Appleseed. In <figref idref="f0053">FIG. 11N</figref>, computer system 1100 received a "YES" reply, as seen in message bubble 1134B and, in response, caused the display of message bubble 1134C, which includes the contents/details of the emergency communication from John Appleseed. In some embodiments, emergency communications received on a computer system using a first operating system and/or messaging application require authorization prior to providing details while a computer system using a different second operating system and/or messaging application does not require authorization prior to providing details.

0461At <figref idref="f0053">FIG. 11P</figref>, in response to input 1104H at <figref idref="f0052">FIG. 11M</figref>, computer system 1100 displays messaging user interface 1136. In some embodiments, messaging user interface 1136 includes one or more features of messaging user interface 1114, described above. Messaging user interface 1136 includes message bubble 1136A ("GOING ON A HIKE"), which is a message previously received from John Appleseed that was not an emergency communication (e.g., it was not also sent to an emergency service). Messaging user interface 1136 also includes message bubble 1136B that includes certain information that has also been sent to a first recipient, the search and rescue service. Messaging user interface 1136 also includes a set of composition affordances 1136C for composing messages to be sent to John Appleseed. Messaging user interface 1136 presents emergency and non-emergency messages from user John Appleseed, together in a single messaging conversation.

0462<figref idref="f0054">FIG. 12</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating methods for managing recipients of messages, in accordance with some embodiments. The method is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, or 1100) (e.g., a smartphone, a smartwatch, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, or a head mounted device (e.g., a head mounted augmented reality and/or extended reality device)) in communication with one or more input devices (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, and/or a microphone). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with an output generation component (e.g., a display generation component, a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system, and/or a head mounted display system). Some operations in the method are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0463As described below, method 1200 provides an intuitive way for managing recipients of messages. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing recipients of messages, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage recipients of messages faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0464While preparing to initiate (e.g., prior to or during the start of the communication (e.g., prior to or during receiving a selection from a text messaging UI of text to send)) a communication (e.g., a communication session (e.g., a text message, and/or sending an emergency report while in an emergency reporting mode)) with a first recipient (e.g., search and rescue service as shown in 1108) (e.g., a previously defined contact (e.g., emergency contact and/or emergency service or emergency responder (e.g., a 911 call center; a police department; a fire department))), the computer system outputs (1202) a query (e.g., query in 1102) (e.g., a visual query (e.g., a prompting user interface with one or more selectable options (e.g., a "notify" and "don't notify" button)); an audio query) as to whether to allow a second recipient (e.g., 1102B1 or 1102B2) (e.g., a contactable user, an emergency contact of the user of the computer system), different from the first recipient, to receive information (e.g., information in 1108A) (e.g., an indication that the communication is occurring, metadata regarding the communication (e.g. the participants, the time of the communication, a location of the computer system at the time the communication is occurring), and/or some or all of the contents of the communication (e.g., text message and/or audio)) corresponding to the communication without adding the second recipient as a participant (e.g., the second recipient can receive information but not respond) in a conversation (e.g., a thread) of the communication (in some embodiments, the query includes an identity of the second recipient).

0465After outputting the query as to whether to allow the second recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication, the computer system detects (1204) a sequence of one or more inputs (e.g., 1104A) corresponding to a request to send a message to the first recipient. In some embodiments, detecting a selection of a "notify" or "don't notify" visual query and a selection of a "send" affordance displayed with the visual query.

0466In response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs (1206): in accordance with a determination that the computer system detected one or more inputs corresponding to a request (e.g., 1104A) to allow the second recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication between the user and the first recipient (e.g., via the set of one or more input devices), the computer system sends (1208) (e.g., sending the message to an external emergency message service (server) to send to the first recipient) a message (e.g., message with content as per 1108A) (e.g., content; text) to the first recipient that includes respective information (e.g., information gathered while preparing to initiate the communication) and enables delivery of the message to the second recipient (e.g., instructing the external emergency message service (server) to send to the second recipient subsequent to sending to the first recipient or concurrently with sending to the first recipient) including at least a portion of the respective information; and in accordance with a determination that the computer system did not detect one or more inputs corresponding to a request to allow the second recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication between the user and the first recipient (e.g., via the set of one or more input devices), the computer system sends (1210) (e.g., sending the message to an external emergency message service (server) to send to the first recipient) a message (e.g., message with content as per 1108A) to the first recipient that includes respective information (e.g., information gathered while preparing to initiate the communication) without enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information. Enabling, or not enabling, delivery of the message to the second recipient, while sending the message to the first recipient, based on whether a previous request to allow the second recipient to receive information performs an operation (enabling delivery to the second recipient) when a set of conditions (receipt of the request) has been met without requiring further user input.

0467In some embodiments, prior to preparing to initiate the communication via the set of one or more inputs at the computer system (e.g., while setting up the device), the computer system receives a selection of an emergency recipient (e.g., 1102B1) as an emergency contact (e.g., added the emergency recipient to an emergency contact list), wherein the second recipient is the emergency recipient. In some embodiments, the second recipient is a recipient that was previously specified (e.g., prior to preparing to initiate the communication; via a set of one or more inputs at the computer system) as an emergency contact by a user of the computer system (e.g., specified at the computer system or at a different computer system that is associated (e.g., that is logged into the same user account as the computer system) with the user)). Selecting a second recipient for the query based on previous selection of the recipient as an emergency contact performs an operation (selection of the second recipient) when a set of conditions has been met (the recipient was previously selected as an emergency contact) without requiring further user input to identify the second recipient.

0468In some embodiments, the query as to whether to allow the second recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication without adding the second recipient as a participant in the conversation includes: a query as to whether to allow a third recipient (e.g., 1102B2) (e.g., an additional previously identified emergency contact) different from the first and second recipients, to receive information corresponding to the communication without adding the third recipient as a participant in the conversation of the communication. In some embodiments, the method further includes: in response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs: in accordance with a determination that the device detected one or more inputs corresponding to a request to allow the at least one third recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication between the user and the first recipient, sending a message to the first recipient that includes respective information and enabling delivery of a message to the third recipient including at least a portion of the respective information. Outputting a query that pertains to a third recipient, in addition to the second recipient, provides the user with feedback about what recipients can be enabled for receipt of the message, which provides improved feedback (e.g., visual feedback).

0469In some embodiments, outputting the query as to whether to allow the second recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication without adding the second recipient as a participant in the conversation includes: the computer system displaying a set of one or more user-interactive graphical elements that includes a first user-interactive graphical element (e.g., 1102D) (e.g., an affordance to remove a suggested recipient and/or an affordance to add a new recipient) that, when selected, initiates a process to modify (e.g., add or remove a recipient (e.g., remove the second recipient and/or add an additional recipient)) a set of recipients for the message, when sent.

0470In some embodiments, the set of one or more user-interactive graphical elements includes: a second user-interactive graphical element (e.g., 1102C) that, when selected, modifies a selection state (e.g., selects the second recipient when the second recipient is currently not selected or deselects the second recipient when the second recipient is not selected) of the second recipient for receiving the message, without modifying the selection state of the third recipient for receiving the message; and a third user-interactive graphical element that, when selected, modifies a selection state of the third recipient for receiving the message, without modifying the selection state of the second recipient for receiving the message. Displaying separate user-interactive graphical elements for the second and third recipients provides additional control options and provides the user with improved visual feedback as to what recipients will be enabled to receive the message when the message is sent to the first recipient.

0471In some embodiments, outputting the query as to whether to allow the second recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication without adding the second recipient as a participant in the conversation includes: the computer system displaying: an indication (e.g., 1102C) that the second recipient is currently selected to receive the information corresponding to the communication without adding the second recipient as a participant in the conversation (e.g., the query includes one or more recommended/default recipients that include the second recipient) (in some embodiments, the second recipient is preselected (e.g., designated by default) to receive information corresponding to the communication between the user and the first recipient and will receive the information upon sending of the message unless one or more inputs are received to deselect the second recipient)); and a third user-interactive graphical element that, when selected, deselects the second recipient from receiving information corresponding to the communication without adding the second recipient as a participant in the conversation (e.g., a graphical element that is specific to the second recipient (e.g., a recipient-specific toggle) or a graphical object that deselects some or all currently selected recipients (e.g., a "don't notify" button that deselects some or all potential recipients other than the first recipient)). In some embodiments, the query does not include an indication of the identity of the second recipient (e.g., the query does not identify and/or selects by default any specific recipients and includes one or more options for identifying a selected a recipient). Displaying an indication that the second recipient is currently (e.g., already) selected as part of outputting the query provides the user with improved visual feedback as to current selection state of the second recipient and allows the user to enable delivery of the message to the second recipient, without requiring further input, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0472In some embodiments, in response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs and in accordance with a determination that the computer system detected one or more inputs corresponding to a request to allow the second recipient and the third recipient to receive information corresponding to the communication between the user and the first recipient: the computer system sends a message to the first recipient that includes respective information; and the computer system enables delivery of the message to the second recipient (e.g., 1102B1) and the third recipient (e.g., 1102B2) including at least a portion of the respective information.

0473In some embodiments, after enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information (e.g., after the message has been sent to the second recipient) and in accordance with a determination that the conversation of the communication has been updated with additional information (e.g., 1116) (e.g., the user of the computer system and/or the first recipient has sent additional message(s) and/or updates on status (e.g., location)), the computer system enables delivery of a second message (e.g., 1118) to the second recipient (in some embodiments, while the second recipient remains a non-participant in the conversation of the communication), wherein the second message includes at least a portion of the additional information. Enabling deliver of a subsequent second message after enabling deliver of the message when a determination has been made that the conversation of the communication has been updated with additional information performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0474In some embodiments, after enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient (e.g., after the message has been sent to the second recipient) including at least a portion of the respective information (in some embodiments, and in accordance with a determination that the physical location of the computer system has changed), the computer system enables delivery of a third message (e.g., 1120) (e.g., a message separate from the message) to the second recipient that includes information corresponding to the location of the computer system (e.g., the location at the time the third message was enabled for delivery). In some embodiments, multiple, periodic messages (e.g., 1114C and 1120) are sent with information corresponding to the location of the computer system. In some embodiments, the messages are sent at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes or other recurring period).

0475In some embodiments, enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient including at least the portion of the respective information occurs without the second recipient being enabled (e.g., enabled by the computer system and/or an external computer system (e.g., a message server) to participate (e.g., contribute information to the conversation of the communication; the second recipient is able to receive at least a portion of the information in the conversation but not send any information that is posted to the conversation) in the conversation of the communication (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0049">FIG. 11F</figref>, which lacks affordances for composing a reply).

0476In some embodiments, enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information, includes: enabling (e.g., causing) (in some embodiments, sending (e.g., directly or via a server) the message in a format that is compatible with the messaging application of the external computer system) an external computer system associated with the second recipient to display the message to the second recipient including at least the portion of the respective information in a messaging application (e.g., the messaging application that generates 1114) (e.g., a text messaging application).

0477In some embodiments, the messaging application (e.g., the messaging application that generates 1114) of the external computer system associated with the second recipient displays the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information in a messaging conversation that is separate from a messaging conversation that includes one or more previous messages (e.g., previous messages that did not also include the first recipient; previous messages of a first type (e.g., non-emergency messages)) received from a user of the computer system (e.g., and that were sent to the second recipient) (e.g., as per <figref idref="f0052">FIGS. 11K</figref> and <figref idref="f0053">11N</figref>). Displaying the message to the second recipient in a messaging conversation that is separate from another conversation that includes one or more previous messages provides the improved visual feedback about the message being different (e.g., different in that it is also sent to the first recipient) from the one or more previous messages.

0478In some embodiments, the messaging application (e.g., the messaging application that generates 1114) of the external computer system associated with the second recipient displays the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information in a messaging conversation that includes one or more previous messages received from a user of the computer system (e.g., the message is grouped, in the messaging application, with other messages from the user of the computer system) (e.g., as seen in <figref idref="f0052">FIGS. 11M</figref> and <figref idref="f0053">11P</figref>). Displaying the message to the second recipient in the messaging conversation that also includes one or more previous messages provides the improved visual feedback about source of the message (e.g., that it is from the same sender as the one or more previous messages).

0479In some embodiments, the messaging application (e.g., the messaging application that generates 1114) of the external computer system associated with the second recipient, while displaying the messaging conversation that includes one or more previous messages received from a user of the computer system, displays a fourth selectable user-interactive graphical element that, when selected, initiates a process for displaying the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information in the messaging conversation (e.g., conversation in <figref idref="f0053">FIG. 11N</figref>) that is separate from the messaging conversation that includes one or more previous messages. In some embodiments, the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information can be accessed from the separate messaging conversation that includes one or more previous messages received from a user of the computer system without navigating back to a user interface of the messaging application that presents a plurality of messaging conversations. In some embodiments, the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information can be accessed while displaying the separate messaging conversation that includes one or more previous messages received from a user of the computer system by accessing an information panel associated with the user of the computer system. Displaying the fourth selectable user-interactive graphical element in the messaging conversation that includes the one or more previous messages provides improved visual feedback as to how to access the message and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform the operation of accessing the message, while viewing the previous messages. Displaying the message in an conversation user interface that does not include user-interactive graphical elements for composing a response provides improved visual feedback about the unavailability of a response functionality.

0480In some embodiments, the messaging application of the external computer system associated with the second recipient displays the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information in a conversation user interface (e.g., 1114) that does not include user-interactive graphical elements (e.g., does not include any user-interactive graphical elements for composing a response) for composing a response to the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information (e.g., the message is displayed in an interface that does not provide options/functions for responding to the message). Displaying the message in a conversation user interface that does not include user-interactive graphical elements for composing a response provides improved visual feedback about the unavailability of a response functionality.

0481In some embodiments, the conversation user interface (e.g., 1114) that does not include user-interactive graphical elements for composing a response to the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information includes an indication (e.g., 1114A, 1114D) (e.g., graphical or textual) that the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information is an emergency message. In some embodiments, the indication is displayed at a location of the conversation user interface at which the message application of the external computer system would display one or more user-interactive graphical elements for composing responses in a messaging conversation that is not an emergency conversation. Displaying an indication that the message is an emergency message provides the user with improved visual feedback as to the nature of the received message.

0482In some embodiments, the external computer system generates one or more notifications (e.g., 1110A) for the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information based on a first set of notification criteria and generates one or notifications for a respective message (e.g., a non-emergency message from the user of the computer system), different from the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information, based on a second set of notification criteria, different from the first set of notification criteria. In some embodiments, the first set of notification criteria is more permissive than the second set of notification criteria (e.g., notification(s) are generated while do-not-disturb and/or silent mode is set for the first, but not the second set). In some embodiments, the external computer system is configured to (e.g., includes computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs including instructions for) receive a respective message while the external computer system is in a first state (e.g., a do-not-disturb state; a silent mode). In response to receiving the respective message while the external computer system is in a first state and in accordance with a determination that the message is a message of a first type (e.g., an emergency message), delivering a notification corresponding to the respective message. In response to receiving the respective message while the external computer system is in a first state and in accordance with a determination that the message is a message of a second type, different than the first type (e.g., a non-emergency message), forgoing delivering a notification corresponding to the respective message. Generating notifications for the message using a different set of notification criteria than those used to generate notifications for a different message performs the operation of notification generation for the two different messages using different sets of conditions, without requiring further user input, which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input and also provides different feedback, in the form of notifications, for the two different types of messages. Displaying an indication that the message is an emergency message provides the user with improved visual feedback as to the nature of the received message.

0483In some embodiments, the messaging application of the external computer system associated with the second recipient displays the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information in a second conversation user interface that includes a fifth user-selectable graphical element (e.g., 1114E) that, when selected, initiates a separate communication session (e.g., a separate text, telephonic, or video communication session; separate from the communication session by which the message was sent) with the user of the computer system. Including the fifth user-selectable graphical element when displaying the message provides additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls.

0484In some embodiments, the external computer system associated with the second recipient provides an option (e.g., a user-selectable graphical element), that when enabled (e.g., when selected), prevents one or more update messages associated with the message to the second recipient including at least the portion of the respective information from being presented at the external computer system (in some embodiments, prevents the update messages from being received and/or sent from a messaging server).

0485In some embodiments, the communication with the first recipient is a communication about an emergency and preparing to initiate the communication with the first recipient includes: receiving (e.g., via one or more of the interfaces shown in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020">FIGS. 6M-6S</figref>), via the one or more input devices, a set of information (e.g., information included in 1114B) that includes one or more details about the emergency (e.g., the nature of the emergency (e.g., medical, fire, police), detail(s) regarding the user, the location of the user/the computer system).

0486In some embodiments, the portion of the respective information that is included in the message to the second recipient includes at least a portion of the one or more details about the emergency (e.g., as seen in 1114B) (e.g., the nature of the emergency).

0487In some embodiments, preparing to initiate communication with the first recipient includes connecting to a non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., a satellite communication network); and the message to the first recipient that includes respective information is sent via the non-terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., as indicated by the text above 1114B). In some embodiments, enabling delivery of the message including respective information to the second recipient includes aligning the computer system for communication with one or more satellites; and wherein enabling delivery of the message including the respective information to the second recipient is via the one or more satellites. In some embodiments, in response to determining a terrestrial wireless network is not reachable (e.g., the computer system is unable to connect to a cellular network; and/or the computer system is not receiving a cellular signal with sufficient strength and/or consistency to send the message (e.g., to emergency services).

0488In some embodiments, after enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information (in some embodiments, and in accordance with a determination the that second recipient has received the message), the computer system displays an indication (e.g., 1108B) that the second recipient is receiving the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information. Displaying an indication that the second recipient is receiving the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information provides improved visual feedback as to the second recipient having been enabled to receive the message.

0489In some embodiments, after enabling delivery of the message to the second recipient including at least a portion of the respective information, the computer system displays a fifth user-interactive graphical element (e.g., "STOP SHARING" in 1108B) (e.g., an option to stop sharing updates with the second recipient) that, when selected, configures the computer system to send one or more subsequent (e.g., future) messages to the first recipient that correspond to the conversation of the communication with the first recipient without enabling delivery (e.g., forgoing and/or preventing delivery) of the one or more subsequent messages to the second recipient. Displaying the fifth user-interactive graphical element provides the user with an option to discontinue or prevent performance of an operation (sending of subsequent messages to the second recipient) when a set of conditions are later met (subsequent messages are sent to the first recipient), which enhances operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

0490Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1200 are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above and below. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 1200. For example, method 1200 can optionally be performed as part of a communication initiated via method 700 or 800. For example, method 1200 optionally includes providing an alignment element in accordance with method 1000. For example, the ability to manage recipients of messages as described in method 1200 can be simulated in the alternative communication network test mode in method 2000. For example, method 1200 can be the process corresponding to the user interface object in method 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

0500Returning to <figref idref="f0056">FIG. 13B</figref>, computer system 1300A detects input 1310B (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) on Me tab 1320A. In response to detects input 1310B (e.g., a tap gesture) on Me tab 1320A, computer system 1300A displays Me tab user interface 1328A of the location-sharing application, emphasizes Me tab 1320A, and deemphasizes People tab 1318A, as shown in <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13D</figref>. Me tab user interface 1328A includes a map with pin 1330A, which represents the location of computer system 1300A, and user information element 1331A. User information element 1331A includes update indicator 1332A, location 1334A, and source indicator 1336A. Update indicator 1332A displays when (or how long ago) Rachel's location information was last updated (e.g., 1 minute ago). Location indicator 1336A displays Rachel's location (e.g., 123 Martin Ave., Livermore, CA). Source indicator displays the source of Rachel's location information, where "This Phone" indicates that computer system 1300A is the source of the location information for Rachel's location. In <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13E</figref>, computer system 1300B maintains display of People tab user interface 1308B and user information element 1326B has been updated compared to <figref idref="f0056">FIG. 13C</figref> to reflect that Rachel's location was last updated 1 minute ago.

0501In <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13D</figref>, computer system 1300A detects input 1310C (e.g., a tap gesture, an upward swipe gesture, or other selection input) on user information element 1331A (or on a designated portion, such as a pill and/or top portion, of user information element 1331A). As shown in <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13F</figref>, in response to detecting input 1310C, computer system 1300A expands or scrolls display of user information element 1331A to display additional elements of user information element 1331A, including share my location option 1342A, safety alerts notifications option 1338A, and invitations notifications option 1340A. A user can select share my location option 1342A to enable and disable location sharing (e.g., by tapping or swiping share my location option 1342A). In <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13F</figref>, share my location option 1342A indicates that computer system 1300A is sharing location (e.g., location sharing is enabled or ON). In response to detecting an input (e.g., a tap gesture, a swipe gesture, or other selection input) on share my location option 1342A when share my location option 1342A is ON, computer system 1300A turns off (e.g., disables) location sharing and sets share my location option 1342A to an OFF state. In response to detecting an input (e.g., a tap gesture, a swipe gesture or other selection input) on share my location option 1342A when share my location option 1342A is OFF, computer system 1300A turns on (e.g., enables) location sharing and sets share my location option 1342A to the ON state.

0502In some embodiments, when location sharing is enabled, computer system 1300A transmits updated location information automatically (e.g., without user input) when certain criteria is met. For example, when location sharing is enabled, computer system 1300A can transmit updated location information at predetermined intervals (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2, minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes) when computer system 1300A is connected to a terrestrial communication network (e.g., a wireless cellular communication and/or a Wi-Fi network). In <figref idref="f0056 f0057 f0058 f0059">FIGS. 13B-13H</figref>, network indicator 1303A indicates that computer system 1300A has cellular service (e.g., is connected to a cellular communication and/or can communicate via a cellular communication). Accordingly, computer system 1300A automatically transmits updated location information between time 10:10 in <figref idref="f0057 f0058">FIGS. 13D-13G</figref> (e.g., in which update indicator 1332A and user information element 1326B show that location was updated 1 minute ago) and time 10:11 in <figref idref="f0059">FIGS. 13H-13I</figref> (e.g., in which update indicator 1332A and user information element 1326B show that location was updated now). The updated location information transmitted by computer system 1300A is made available to other computer systems, such as computer system 1300B (Jim's phone), as indicated by user information element 1326B. In some embodiments, the updated location information transmitted by computer system 1300A is made available to other designated computer systems, such as computer systems of users identified as friends and/or family members.

0503Safety alerts notifications option 1338A allows a user to enable and disable notifications for safety alerts received by computer system 1300A, such that computer system 1300A outputs notifications for safety alerts when safety alerts notifications option 1338A is enabled (e.g., ON) and forgoes outputting notifications for safety alerts when safety alerts notifications option 1338A is disabled (e.g., OFF). Invitations notifications option 1340A allows a user to enable and disable notifications for invitations received by computer system 1300A, such as invitations by other users to receive updated location information from computer system 1300A and/or invitations for computer system 1300A to receive updated location information from other users. Computer system 1300A outputs notifications for invitations when invitations notifications option 1340A is enabled (e.g., ON) and forgoes outputting notifications for invitations when invitations notifications option 1340A is disabled (e.g., OFF). In <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13G</figref>, user interface 1308B on computer system 1300B remains unchanged from <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13E</figref>.

0504In <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13F</figref>, computer system 1300A detects input 1310D (e.g., a tap gesture, a downward swipe gesture, or other selection input) on user information element 1331A (e.g., a designated portion, such as a pill and/or a top portion, of user information element 1331A). In response to detecting input 1310D, computer system 1300A reduces (e.g., minimizes) user information element 1331A, as shown in <figref idref="f0059">FIG. 13H</figref> (e.g., to the same state displayed in <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13D</figref>). In <figref idref="f0059">FIG. 13I</figref>, user interface 1308B displayed on computer system 1300B remains unchanged from <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13G</figref>.

0505<figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref> illustrates computer system 1300A at a later time after about two hours has passed, compared to <figref idref="f0059">FIG. 13H</figref>. In <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref>, computer system 1300A is in a locked state and displays lock screen 1344A. Location sharing is enabled on computer system 1300A, and network indicator 1303A indicates that a cellular communication network is unavailable to computer system 1300A (e.g., computer system 1300A does not have cellular service, a cellular communication network of a service provider associated with computer system 1300A is not available, and/or no cellular communication network from any service provider is available). Since location sharing is enabled, but a cellular communication network is not available, computer system 1300A displays manual update notification 1346A. In some embodiments, computer system 1300A displays manual update notification 1346A in accordance with a determination that a cellular communication network has not been available to computer system 1300A for a predetermined amount of time and/or that computer system 1300A has not transmitted updated location information for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., because a cellular communication network has not been available). In some embodiments, computer system 1300A activates display 1302A or transitions display 1302A from a low power state in order to display manual update notification 1346A. In some embodiments, when computer system 1300A is not in a locked state (e.g., computer system 1300A is displaying a home screen or a user interface of an application), computer system 1300A displays manual update notification as a pop-up and/or banner (e.g., at or near the top of display 1302A). Manual update notification 1346A includes text informing the user that it is possible to manually update the location of computer system 1300A in the location-sharing application via a satellite communication network while a cellular communication network is unavailable.

0506In <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13K</figref>, pin 1316B in user interface 1308B displayed on computer system 1300B indicates updated location information for John, and pin 1312B in user interface 1308B displayed on computer system 1300B is visually distinguished (e.g., greyed out) to indicate that updated location information for Rachel has not been received for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., Rachel's location information is old or stale), and user information element 1326B indicates that Rachel's location information was last updated two hours ago.

0507In <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13K</figref>, computer system 1300A detects input 1310E (e.g., a tap gesture, a swipe gesture, or other selection input) on manual update notification 1346A. In response to detecting input 1310E, computer system 1300A displays Me tab user interface 1328A, as shown in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>. In some embodiments (e.g., when computer system 1300A is locked), computer system 1300A requires user authentication (e.g., entry of a passcode, facial identification, and/or fingerprint identification) in addition to input 1310E in order to unlock computer system 1300A and display Me tab user interface 1328A, as shown in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>.

0508In <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>, because a cellular communication network has been unavailable for a predetermined amount of time, computer system 1300A displays manual update option 1350A. In some embodiments (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13D</figref>), computer system 1300A does not display manual update option 1350A when a cellular communication network is available (e.g., because sufficient bandwidth resources are available to transmit updated location automatically). In the embodiment illustrated in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>, manual update option 1350A is displayed in Me tab user interface 1328A of the location-sharing application in user information element 1331A. Me tab user interface 1328A of the location-sharing application does not include a map in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref> because a cellular communication network is not available or has been unavailable for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., to preserve bandwidth). In <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13M</figref>, People tab user interface 1308B displayed on computer system 1300B is unchanged from <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13K</figref>.

0509In <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>, computer system 1300A detects input 1310F (e.g., a tap gesture, a swipe gesture, or other selection input) on manual update option 1350A. In response to detecting input 1310F, computer system 1300A initiates a process for transmitting updated location information via a satellite communication network. In some embodiments, if computer system 1300A is properly aligned for communication with a satellite when manual update option 1350A is selected, computer system automatically (e.g., without further user input) transmits updated location information via a satellite communication network. In some embodiments, while computer system 1300A is transmitting updated location information, computer system 1300A displays a notification (e.g., alignment assistant element 1352A shown in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref> or banner 926 described in <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref>) that indicates that computer system 1300A is connected to a satellite communication network (e.g., 1352A1 in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref>), provides instructions to keep computer system 1300A pointed in the current direction (e.g., 1352A2 in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref> and/or a graphical alignment element 1352A3 in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref>), and/or provides an indication of the transmission status of the updated location information (e.g., 1352A4 in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref>).

0510In the embodiment illustrated in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>, computer system 1300A is not properly aligned for communication with a satellite when manual update option 1350A is selected. Accordingly, in response to detecting input 1310F, computer system 1300A initiates a process for instructing the user to properly align computer system 1300A with a satellite. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input 13 10F when computer system 1300A is not properly aligned for communication with a satellite, computer system 1300A initiates an alignment process and/or displays one or more alignment interfaces or elements, such as alignment interfaces 902C-902J and 902O-902P depicted and described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref> and <figref idref="f0042 f0043">9O-9P</figref>, banner 926 depicted and described in <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref>, and/or graphical element 931 depicted and described in <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref>.

Contact affordance 1362B can be selected (e.g., via a tap gesture), and in response to detecting selection of contact affordance 1362B, computer system 1300B displays contact information associated with Rachel, such as, e.g., phone number(s), address(es), email address(es), and/or selectable options for contacting Rachel. In <figref idref="f0065">FIG. 13T</figref>, Me tab user interface 1328A displayed on computer system 1300A is unchanged from <figref idref="f0064">FIG. 13R</figref>.

0517In <figref idref="f0065">FIG. 13U</figref>, computer system 1300B detects input 1310H (e.g., a tap gesture, an upward swipe gesture, or other selection input) on user information element 1356B (or a designated portion, such as a pill and/or top, of user information element 1356B). As shown in <figref idref="f0066">FIG. 13W</figref>, in response to detecting input 1310H, computer system 1300B displays additional information and/or options associated with Rachel, such as notifications affordance 1364B, which can be selected to display options for receiving notifications related to Rachel.

0518In <figref idref="f0066">FIG. 13V</figref>, computer system 1300A displays Me tab user interface 1328A unchanged from <figref idref="f0065">FIG. 13T</figref> and detects input 1310I (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting manual update option 1350A. In some embodiments, computer system 1300A restricts whether location information can be updated manually via satellite, such as how often location information can be updated manually via satellite. In the embodiment illustrated in <figref idref="f0066">FIG. 13V</figref>, input 1310I is detected prior to a time threshold being satisfied (e.g., a predetermined amount of time has not passed since computer system 1300A transmitted updated location information via satellite). Because the time threshold has not been satisfied, in response to detecting input 1310I, computer system 1300A forgoes transmitting (or initiating a process to transmit) updated location information via satellite or providing assistance to connect with a satellite, and displays error notification 1366A and dismiss affordance 1368A (e.g., as part of or separately from error notification 1366A). Error notification 1366A notifies the user that computer system 1300A cannot update location because location was recently updated, and instructs the user to wait to try again. In response to detecting input 1310J (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting dismiss affordance 1368A, computer system 1300A ceases display of error notification 1366A and dismiss affordance 1368A, as shown in <figref idref="f0068">FIG. 13Z</figref>

0519Returning to <figref idref="f0066">FIG. 13W</figref>, computer system 1300B detects input 1310L (e.g., a tap gesture, a downward swipe gesture, or other selection input) on user information element 1356B (or a designated portion, such as a pill or top, of user information element 1356B). As shown in <figref idref="f0067">FIG. 13Y</figref>, in response to detecting input 1310L, computer system 1300B reduces the displayed amount of information and/or options associated with Rachel (e.g., computer system returns to the interface displayed in <figref idref="f0065">FIG. 13U</figref>).

0520Returning to <figref idref="f0067">FIG. 13X</figref>, computer system 1300A detects input 1310K (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting People tab 1318A. In response to detecting input 1310K, computer system 1300A displays People tab user interface 1308A, as shown in <figref idref="f0068">FIG. 13Z</figref>. Because computer system 1300A does not have cellular service, as indicated by network indicator 1303A, People tab user interface 1308A does not include a map, unlike in <figref idref="f0056">FIG. 13B</figref> when cellular service is available. In <figref idref="f0068">FIG. 13AA</figref>, People tab user interface 1308B displayed on computer system 1300B is unchanged from <figref idref="f0067">FIG. 13Y</figref>.

0521<figref idref="f0069">FIG. 14</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating a method for using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1400 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 900, 1100, 1300A, 1300B, 1500A, 1500B, and/or 1500C) (e.g., a smartphone, a smartwatch, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or a head mounted device (e.g., a head mounted augmented reality and/or extended reality device)). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system, and/or a head mounted display system) and/or one or more input devices (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, a keyboard, a mouse, a rotatable crown, and/or a microphone). Some operations in method 1400 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0522As described below, method 1400 provides an intuitive way for transmitting updated location information. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for transmitting updated location information, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to transmit updated location information faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0523While (1402) the computer system is in communication with a first communication network (e.g., a terrestrial communication network, a wireless terrestrial communication network, a cellular communication network, and/or a Wi-Fi network): the computer system determines (1404) that respective criteria (e.g., remote location update criteria) have been met. In some embodiments, the first communication network is a cellular network associated with the computer system (e.g., provided by the computer system's cellular service provider). In some embodiments, first communication network is a cellular network other than the cellular network associated with the computer system (e.g., provided by a different cellular service provider than the cellular service provider of the computer system). In some embodiments, the computer system is determined to be in communication with the first communication network when the computer system is receiving sufficient signal and/or consistency of connection to communicate via the first communication network. In some embodiments, the respective criteria are met: when a user of the computer system has previously approved receivers of location information; when a location-sharing mode is active to send location information; when a selectable location-sharing option is selected; when a predetermined amount of movement of the computer system has been detected; when a predetermined time threshold is satisfied since last updated location information was sent; and/or when another user or device has requested updated location information for the user.

0524While (1402) the computer system is in communication with a first communication network, in response to determining that the respective criteria have been met, the computer system automatically (e.g., at predetermined intervals or continually), without user input, transmits (1406) (e.g., via the first communication network) updated location information (e.g., longitude, latitude, elevation, and/or Global Positioning System ("GPS") coordinates) that indicates an updated location of the computer system (e.g., in <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13F</figref>, 1332A indicates that Rachel's location was updated 1 min ago; in <figref idref="f0059">FIG. 13H</figref>, 1332A indicates that Rachel's location was updated now; between <figref idref="f0058">FIG. 13F</figref> (e.g., time 10:10) and <figref idref="f0059">FIG. 13H</figref> (e.g., time 10:11), while computer system 1300A is in communication with a cellular network (e.g., as indicated by cellular status indicator 1303A), computer system 1300A automatically transmits updated location information), wherein the updated location information is accessible to devices other than the computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system transmits updated location information to a location information server and/or to a remote device that the user has authorized to receive updated location information. In some embodiments, updated location information of the computer system is determined based on the terrestrial wireless communication network, the first communication network (e.g., using cell identification and/or satellite positioning information). In some embodiments, the computer system displays a selectable option to manually transmit updated location information of the computer system (e.g., a user can select the option to transmit updated location information before the computer system would automatically transmit updated location information) via the first communication network. In some embodiments, the location sharing mode remains active after transmitting updated location information.

0525After automatically transmitting updated location information one or more times when the respective criteria was met, the computer system detects (1408) that the first communication network is unavailable (e.g., cellular status indicator 1303A in <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref> indicates that a cellular network is unavailable) (e.g., the computer system is not in communication with the terrestrial wireless communication network and/or the computer system is not receiving sufficient signal and/or consistency of connection to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network). In some embodiments, the computer system detects that the first communication network is unavailable after transmitting different updated location information at multiple different times. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the first communication network is unavailable, the computer system provides the user with an indication that the first communication network is unavailable (e.g., changing a wireless connection status indicator to indicate that the first communication network is unavailable).

0526While (or, optionally, in response to or in accordance with a determination that) the first communication network is unavailable (e.g., cellular status indicator 1303A in <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref> indicates that a cellular network is unavailable), the computer system is capable of updating location information via a second communication network (e.g., a non-terrestrial wireless communication network, a satellite communication network, a communication protocol that does not require cellular service, and/or a low-bandwidth communication mode) (e.g., computer system 1300A is capable of updating location information via a satellite communication network), and the respective criteria have been met, the computer system forgoes (1410) automatically transmitting updated location information (e.g., in <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref>, computer system 1300A forgoes automatically transmitting updated location information). In some embodiments, forgoing automatically transmitting updated location information includes displaying (e.g., via the display generation component) a selectable non-terrestrial communication option (e.g., an affordance, button, graphical element, graphical object, and/or icon) without updating location information via the second communication network, wherein selection (e.g., via the one or more input devices) of the selectable non-terrestrial communication option (e.g., a touch input on the selectable non-terrestrial communication option and/or a voice command to select the non-terrestrial communication option via the one or more input devices) initiates (e.g., transmits, sends, and/or attempts to send) updating location information via the second communication network. In some embodiments, the selectable non-terrestrial communication option is displayed on a location sharing user interface that includes a graphical indication (e.g., on a map) of a location of the computer system. In some embodiments, the location sharing mode is ended while the first communication network is unavailable, and the respective criteria have been met. Forgoing automatically transmitting updated location information while the first communication network is unavailable, the computer system is capable of updating location information via a second communication network, and the respective criteria have been met conserves computer resources when accurate location information may not be available and/or would require additional user input to transmit (e.g., would require inputs to align the computer system with a satellite network), which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0527In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable (e.g., as indicated by cellular status indicator 1303A in <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref>): in accordance with (or in response to) a determination that a predetermined time period (e.g., 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) since the first communication network was available (e.g., since the first communication network became unavailable to the computer system) has elapsed, the computer system displays a notification (e.g., 1346A in <figref idref="f0060">FIG. 13J</figref>) (e.g., a graphical element, a banner, a prompt, and/or text) that the computer system is capable of updating location information via the second communication network. In some embodiments, the predetermined time period is a period of time since the computer system was connected to (e.g., was last connected to, was in communication with, and/or had a connection that met connection criteria based on a strength, stability, and or consistency of a signal between the computer system and the first communication network) the first communication network. Conditionally displaying a notification that the computer system is capable of updating location information via the second communication network in accordance with a determination that a predetermined time period since the first communication network was available has elapsed indicates to the user that the first communication network is unavailable without notifying the user of brief interruptions in availability of the first communication network, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0528In some embodiments, the predetermined time period is a period of time since the first communication network was available while the computer system is enabled to communicate (e.g., capable of communicating) via the first communication network (e.g., while computer system 1300A is enabled to communication via a cellular communication network) (e.g., the computer system is not in an airplane mode or a mode in which cellular and/or Wi-Fi communication is turned off). Displaying the notification that the computer system is capable of updating location information via the second communication network based on a period of time while the computer system is enabled to communicate via the first communication network provides the notification under conditions in which the user would have expected the computer system to automatically transmit updated location information, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0529In some embodiments, the predetermined time period is a period of time since the first communication network was available while the computer system is enabled to make updated location information accessible to devices other than the computer system (e.g., share my location option 1342A is enabled) (e.g., enabled to automatically transmit updated location information; location sharing with one or more other users (or devices associated with users) is enabled, such as via a setting, either permanently or for a predetermined time). Displaying the notification that the computer system is capable of updating location information via the second communication network based on a period of time while the computer system is enabled to make updated location information accessible to devices other than the computer system provides the notification under conditions in which the user would have expected the computer system to automatically transmit updated location information, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0530In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable: after (e.g., in accordance with or in response to a determination that) a first predetermined time period (e.g., a non-zero amount of time such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) since the first communication network was available (e.g., since the first communication network became unavailable to the computer system) has elapsed, the computer system provides an option (e.g., 1350A) (e.g., a selectable option, a user-interactive graphical element, an affordance, an icon, and/or a button) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., without providing a notification that the option to transmit updated location information via the second communication network is available); and after (e.g., in accordance with or in response to a determination that) a second predetermined time period (e.g., 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 5 hours) since the first communication network was available (e.g., since the first communication network became unavailable to the computer system) has elapsed, wherein the second predetermined time period is greater than the first predetermined time period, the computer system displays (e.g., over a system user interface such as a wake screen or home screen, or a currently open application user interface) a notification (e.g., 1346A) (e.g., a graphical element, a banner, a prompt, and/or text) that the option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network is available (e.g., manual update option 1350A is available in Me tab user interface 1328A of the location-sharing application prior to displaying manual update notification 1346A). In some embodiments, the first predetermined time period is a period of time since the computer system was connected to (e.g., was last connected to, was in communication with, and/or had a connection that met connection criteria based on a strength, stability, and or consistency of a signal between the computer system and the first communication network) the first communication network. In some embodiments, the second predetermined time period is a period of time since the computer system was connected to (e.g., was last connected to, was in communication with, and/or had a connection that met connection criteria based on a strength, stability, and or consistency of a signal between the computer system and the first communication network) the first communication network. In some embodiments, the notification that the option to transmit updated location information of the computer system is a notification that is not displayed after the first predetermined time period has elapsed. In some embodiments, the option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network is provided (e.g., displayed) in a user interface of a location sharing application. In some embodiments, the option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network is displayed in response to a set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to display the user interface of the location sharing application (e.g., a user can access the option in the location sharing application). Providing an option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network after a first predetermined time period and displaying a notification that the option is available after a second predetermined time period notifies the user that updated location information can be transmitted via the second communication network and reduces disturbances to the user, but allows the user to transmit updated location information via the second communication network prior to receiving the notification, which provides improved visual feedback, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0531In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable (and/or while the computer system is capable of updating location information via a second communication network): the computer system detects a request (e.g., 1310F) (e.g., a set of one or more inputs) to transmit (or to share or to make accessible to other devices) updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network; and in response to detecting the request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network, the computer system initiates a process for transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network, wherein the process for transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network includes displaying a prompt (e.g., 1352A, 931, 908C, 908D, 908E, 908F, 908G, 908F, 908I, 908O, 90801, 926, and/or 931) (e.g., a notification, a banner, text, a graphical element, audio, and/or instructions) for a user to take an action to connect to the second communication network. In some embodiments, the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the second communication network includes instructions to move and/or position at least a portion of the computer system in a particular direction or location (e.g., turn left, point up, and/or move outside). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the second communication network in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected to the second communication network (e.g., is not properly aligned for communication with one or more satellites of the second communication network). Initiating a process for transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to detecting the request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network provides the user with control over when and/or how often to transmit updated location information, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface. Displaying a prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the second communication network (e.g., providing connection assistance) allows the user to resolve issues (e.g., misalignment and/or obstruction) that prevent the computer system from connecting to the second communication network quickly and efficiently with fewer inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0532In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable (and/or while the computer system is capable of updating location information via a second communication network): the computer system detects a first request (e.g., 1310F or 1310I) (e.g., a set of one or more inputs) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network; and in response to detecting the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network: in accordance with a determination that a set of manual update criteria is met (e.g., at least a threshold amount of time prior to detecting the first request has elapsed since receiving a request to transmit updated location information via the second communication network), the computer system transmits updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref>); and in accordance with a determination that the set of manual update criteria is not met, the computer system forgoes (e.g., prevents) transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0067">FIG. 13X</figref>). In some embodiments, the computer system restricts how frequently manual location updates can occur (e.g., the computer system requires a threshold amount of time between manual requests to transmit updated location information). In some embodiments, the manual update criteria includes a criterion that is met when at least a threshold amount of time prior to detecting the first request has elapsed since receiving a request to transmit updated location information via the second communication network. Transmitting updated location information in response to a request based on whether manual update criteria is met enables the computer system to conserve resources by limiting transmission of updated location information (e.g., preventing transmission of updated location information when the computer system is unlikely to have changed position since a previous update by a distance that is greater than a resolution or accuracy of location information provided by the second communication network), which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0533In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable (and/or while the computer system is capable of updating location information via a second communication network) and after detecting the first request (e.g., 1310F) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (or, optionally, after transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to detecting the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network): the computer system detects a second request (e.g., 1310I) (e.g., a set of one or more inputs) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network; and in response to detecting the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network: in accordance with a determination that an amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (or, optionally, an amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network) meets (e.g., is greater than or is equal to or greater than) a time threshold (e.g., a non-zero amount of time such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour), the computer system transmits updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0063">FIG. 13P</figref>); and in accordance with a determination that the amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (or, optionally, the amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network) does not meet (e.g., is less than or is equal to or less than) the time threshold, the computer system forgoes (e.g., prevents) transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0067">FIG. 13X</figref>). Transmitting updated location information based on whether or not the amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network meets a time threshold enables the computer system to conserve resources by limiting transmission of updated location information (e.g., preventing transmission of updated location information when the computer system is unlikely to have changed position since a previous update by a distance that is greater than a resolution or accuracy of location information provided by the second communication network), which performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0534In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable (and/or while the computer system is capable of updating location information via a second communication network) and after detecting the first request (e.g., 1310F) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (or, optionally, after transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to detecting the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network): the computer system detects a second request (e.g., 1310I) (e.g., a set of one or more inputs) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network; and in response to detecting the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network: in accordance with a determination that the amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (or, optionally, the amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network) does not meet (e.g., is less than or is equal to or less than) a time threshold (e.g., a non-zero amount of time such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour), the computer system provides a notification (e.g., 1366A) (e.g., a message, an audio alert, and/or a tactile output) that updated location information of the computer system will not (or cannot) be transmitted. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that an amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (or, optionally, an amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and transmitting updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network in response to the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network) meets (e.g., is greater than or is equal to or greater than) a time threshold (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour), the computer system forgoes providing the notification that updated location information of the computer system will not be transmitted and transmits updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network. Providing a notification that updated location information of the computer system will not be transmitted in response to a request to transmit updated location information in accordance with a determination that the amount of time between the second request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network and the first request to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network does not meet a time threshold informs the user that a requested action will not be performed, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0535In some embodiments, the computer system displays a location-status indicator (e.g., 1312B and/or 1356B1) (e.g., a graphical element, a pin on a map, and/or text) that corresponds to updated location information (e.g., the location-status indicator indicates a geographic location represented by the updated location information), including: in accordance with a determination that the location-status indicator (or, optionally, a location indicated by the location-status indicator) corresponds to (e.g., is based on) updated location information that was transmitted via the first communication network, displaying the location-status indicator with a first visual appearance (e.g., 1312B in <figref idref="f0059">FIG. 13I</figref>); and in accordance with a determination that the location-status indicator corresponds to updated location information that was transmitted via the second communication network, displaying the location-status indicator with a second visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance (e.g., 1312B in <figref idref="f0064">FIG. 13S</figref>). Displaying a location-status indicator with an appearance that is based on the communication network via which the location information corresponding to the indicator was transmitted provides the user with information about the source of the location information (and potentially the accuracy of the location information if the first communication network has a different accuracy than the second communication network), which provides improved visual feedback.

0536In some embodiments, displaying the location-status indicator with the second visual appearance includes displaying an image (e.g., 1354B) (e.g., a glyph and/or a thumbnail) of a satellite (e.g., the status indicator includes the image of the satellite and/or the status indicator is displayed with the image of the satellite). Displaying an image of a satellite indicates to the user that the location of the location-status indicator is based on location information transmitted via a satellite communication network (which may be less accurate than location information transmitted via a terrestrial wireless communication network), which provides improved visual feedback.

0537In some embodiments, the computer system displays an update-status indicator (e.g., 1326B, 1332A, and/or 1356B2) (e.g., a graphical element and/or text) that indicates a time (e.g., a most recent time) at which updated location information was transmitted (and/or the last time that location information was shared and/or an amount of time since location information was last shared). Displaying an indication of a time at which updated location information was transmitted provides the user with information about how recently the location information of a user was updated, particularly in circumstances in which location information is being updated manually instead of automatically, which provides improved visual feedback.

0538In some embodiments, while (or in accordance with a determination that) the computer system is in communication with the first communication network, the computer system displays a map (e.g., 1308A in <figref idref="f0056">FIG. 13B</figref>, 1308B, or 1328A in <figref idref="f0057">FIGS. 13D</figref> and <figref idref="f0059">13H</figref>) (and, optionally, concurrently displaying a location indicator (e.g., a pin) at a location on the map corresponding to a location of the computer system); and while (or in accordance with a determination that) the first communication network is unavailable to the computer system, the computer system forgoes display of the map (and displays the location indicator or without displaying the location indicator) (e.g., 1328A in <figref idref="f0061">FIGS. 13L</figref>, <figref idref="f0062">13N</figref>, <figref idref="f0063">13P</figref>, <figref idref="f0064">13R</figref>, <figref idref="f0065">13T</figref>, <figref idref="f0066">13V</figref>, and <figref idref="f0067">13X</figref>, or 1308A in <figref idref="f0068">FIG. 13Z</figref>). In some embodiments, the map is displayed in a user interface of a location-sharing application. In some embodiments, a location-sharing application includes location information of the computer system, other computer systems associated with a user of the computer system (e.g., computer systems associated with and/or logged into the same user account as the computer system), and/or other users or computer systems that share location information with the computer system. In some embodiments, a location-sharing application includes settings associate with location sharing, such as options to enable and disable location sharing and to select users and/or devices with which location information is to be shared. In some embodiments, the computer system forgoes displaying a map when the first communication network is unavailable due to bandwidth constraints (e.g., there is not sufficient bandwidth to display accurate map information when the first communication network is unavailable). Displaying a map when the computer system is in communication with the first communication network and forgoing display of the map when the first communication network is unavailable to the computer system indicates to the user that the first communication network is unavailable, conserves computing resources required to display the map, and avoids displaying potentially inaccurate (or stale) map information when there is insufficient bandwidth to update the map at a predetermined rate, which provides improved visual feedback and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0539In some embodiments, while (or in accordance with a determination that or in response to a determination that) the first communication network is unavailable (e.g., as indicated by cellular status indicator 1303A in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>), the computer system provides an option (e.g., 1350A) (e.g., a selectable option, an affordance, an icon, a button, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface element) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., displaying a selectable graphical user interface object in a location-sharing application); and while (or in accordance with a determination that or in response to a determination that) the computer system is in communication with the first communication network (e.g., as indicated by cellular status indicator 1303A in <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13D</figref>), the computer system forgoes providing (e.g., the computer system does not provide) an option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network (e.g., manual update option 1350A is not displayed in <figref idref="f0057">FIG. 13D</figref>) (e.g., the user interface of the location-sharing application is displayed without the selectable graphical user interface object). In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input selecting the option, the computer system transmits updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network. In some embodiments, the computer system does not provide an option (e.g., a manual option) to transmit updated location information of the computer system (e.g., via the first communication network and/or the second communication network) because the location information of the computer system (or a user associated with the computer system) is being updated automatically on a regular schedule (e.g., at a periodic interval without requiring user input). Providing an option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network while the first communication network is unavailable, and forgoing providing an option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network while the computer system is in communication with the first communication network enables the user to manually share updated location information when the computer system does not transmit updated location information automatically without cluttering the user interface with additional elements when updated location is transmitted automatically, which provides improved visual feedback and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0540In some embodiments, while the first communication network is unavailable, the compute system transmits, via the second communication network, updated location information that is accessible to devices other than the computer system (e.g., in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>, <figref idref="f0063">13P</figref>, <figref idref="f0064">13R</figref>, <figref idref="f0065">13T</figref>, or <figref idref="f0066">13V</figref>, computer system 1300A transmits updated location information via a satellite communication network). In some embodiments, the computer system transmits updated location information via the second communication network while the first communication network is unavailable in accordance with (or in response to) a determination that respective criteria (e.g., remote location update criteria) have been met. In some embodiments, the respective criteria are met: when a user of the computer system has previously approved receivers of location information; when a location-sharing mode is active to send location information; when a selectable location-sharing option is selected; when a predetermined amount of movement of the computer system has been detected; when a predetermined time threshold is satisfied since last updated location information was sent; and/or when another user or device has requested updated location information for the user. In some embodiments, the respective criteria for sending updated location information via the second communication network is the same as the respective criteria for sending updated location information via the first communication network. In some embodiments, the respective criteria for sending updated location information via the second communication network is different from the respective criteria for sending updated location information via the first communication network. Transmitting updated location information that is accessible to devices other than the computer system via the second communication network enables the user to send updated location information when the first communication network is unavailable without requiring additional inputs (such as moving the computer system to a different location) to connect to the first communication network, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0541In some embodiments, transmitting, via the second communication network, updated location information that is accessible to devices other than the computer system is performed automatically without user input (e.g., in <figref idref="f0061">FIG. 13L</figref>, <figref idref="f0063">13P</figref>, <figref idref="f0064">13R</figref>, <figref idref="f0065">13T</figref>, or <figref idref="f0066">13V</figref>, computer system 1300A transmits updated location information via a satellite communication network without detecting selection (or requiring selection) of manual update option 1350A) (e.g., in accordance with (or, optionally, in response to) a determination that automatic-update criteria have been met). In some embodiments, the automatic-update criteria include a criterion that is met when a user has fallen. In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with one or more motion sensors (e.g., accelerometers and/or gyroscopes) that are configured to detect motion of the computer system. In some embodiments, a determination is made that a user has fallen when motion (e.g., a detected velocity and/or acceleration) of the computer system (or another device associated with the user) meets a set of motion criteria (e.g., meets or exceeds a threshold velocity and/or acceleration). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with one or more biometric sensors (e.g., a heartrate sensor and/or a blood oxygen monitor) that can be used to determine that a user has fallen. Transmitting updated location information via the second communication network automatically without user input enables a user to share updated location information without user input and to provide location information more quickly if there is an emergency and/or if the user is unable to provide an input (e.g., a manual input) to update the location information, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0542In some embodiments, the computer system displays (e.g., in a user interface of a location-sharing application) an option (e.g., 1350A) (e.g., a selectable option, an affordance, an icon, a button, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network; and the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1310E and/or 1310F) that includes a selection of the option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network, wherein transmitting, via the second communication network, updated location information that is accessible to devices other than the computer system is performed in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes a selection of the option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network. Displaying an option to transmit updated location information of the computer system via the second communication network provides an efficient method for the user to manually share updated location information, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0543In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a predefined action has been successfully performed (e.g., the computer system has successfully connected to one or more satellites or has successfully transmitted updated location information), the computer system displays a message (e.g., 1322A indicates (e.g., displays "NOW") when location information has been sent, 1352A1 displays "Connected" when connection is established, 908L, and/or 908M) that indicates that the predefined action has been successfully performed. Displaying a message that indicates that the predefined action has been successfully performed in response to a determination that a predefined action has been successfully performed enables the computer system to inform the user that a particularly relevant action has occurred while not distracting the user with notifications about non-predefined actions, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about the success of an important action that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0544Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1400 (e.g., <figref idref="f0069">FIG. 14</figref>) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above and below. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 1800, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 1400. For example, methods 700, 800, 1000, 1200, and/or 1600 optionally include the techniques for transmitting updated location information described in method 1400. For example, method 1800 can initiate transmitting updated location information described in method 1400 from a messaging application. For example, transmitting updated location information described in method 1400 can be simulated in the alternative communication network test mode in method 2000. For example, transmitting updated location information described in method 1400 can be the process corresponding to the user interface object in method 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in <figref idref="f0086">FIG. 16</figref>.

0546<figref idref="f0070">FIG. 15A</figref> illustrates computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A is a smartphone, a smartwatch, a desktop computer, a laptop, computer, or a tablet computer. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A is device 100, device 300, or device 500. In some embodiments, computer system 1500B is a smartphone, a smartwatch, a desktop computer, a laptop, computer, or a tablet computer. In some embodiments, computer system 1500B is device 100, device 300, or device 500. In the embodiment illustrated in <figref idref="f0070">FIG. 15A</figref>, computer system 1500A is a smartwatch that includes display 1502A (e.g., a touch-sensitive display), rotatable (and, optionally, depressible) input mechanism 1505A, and hardware button 1507A. Computer system 1500B is a smartphone that includes display 1502B (e.g., a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B are in wireless communication with each other (e.g., via Bluetooth and/or a near field communication protocol). In some embodiments, computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B are paired.

0547In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510F, 1510G, 1510H, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, 1510N, 15100, 1510P, 1510Q, and/or 1510R) is or includes a touch input (e.g., a tap gesture and/or a swipe gesture). In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510F, 1510G, 1510H, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, 1510N, 15100, 1510P, 1510Q, and/or 1510R) is or includes a voice input (e.g., a voice command to select a user interface element or to activate a feature or perform a function, such as a feature or function associated with a user interface element). In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510F, 1510G, 1510H, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, 1510N, 15100, 1510P, 1510Q, and/or 1510R) is or includes an air gesture (e.g., an air gesture to select a user interface element or to activate a feature or perform a function, such as a feature or function associated with a user interface element). In some embodiments, any of the inputs described herein (e.g., input 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510F, 1510G, 1510H, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, 1510N, 15100, 1510P, 1510Q, and/or 1510R) is or includes activation (e.g., a press, a rotation, and/or a movement) of a hardware device (e.g., a button, a rotatable input mechanism, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, a mouse button, a button of a remote control, and/or a joystick). In some embodiments, any of the user interface elements describes as being selected herein (e.g., an icon, affordance, button, and/or selectable option) is selected by activating a hardware device while the user interface element is in focus (e.g., highlighted, bolded, outlined, visually distinguished from other user interface elements, and/or located at or near a cursor).

0548In <figref idref="f0070">FIG. 15A</figref>, computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B are coordinating in an attempt to initiate a phone call to a non-emergency number (e.g., a number that is not associated with emergency services and is not designated as an emergency contact). Computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B exchange call information such that a call can be initiated and/or ended by either computer system, and call audio can be input and/or output by either computer system. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B include selectable options for coordinating a shared call. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A does not have cellular capability and cannot make a phone call independently (e.g., without computer system 1500B or other cellular enabled device). When computer system 1500A does not cellular capability, computer system 1500A makes the phone call via computer system 1500B such that computer system 1500B establishes a cellular connection and transmits call data to computer system 1500A.

0549In <figref idref="f0070">FIG. 15A</figref>, computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B each display a calling interface of a phone application that provides information and/or options associated with the call. Computer system 1500A displays calling interface 1504A of a phone application, which includes the number being called 1504A1, the call status 1504A2 (e.g., CALLING), end call option 1504A3, and keypad option 1504A4. In response to detecting selection of end call option 1504A3 (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on end call option 1504A3), computer system 1500A causes the call to end or causes an attempt to initiate the call to end. In response to detecting selection of keypad option 1504A4 (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on keypad option 1504A4), computer system 1500A displays a keypad with selectable numeric options.

0550Computer system 1500B displays calling interface 1504B of a phone application, which includes the number being called 1504B1, the call status 1504B2 (e.g., NO CONNECTION), call management options 1504B3, and end call option 1504B4. In some embodiments, call management options 1504B3 include one or more (e.g., all or a subset) of call management buttons 603 displayed and described in <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K-6L</figref>. Call status 1504B2 indicates that computer system 1500B does not have a cellular connection, which is also indicated by network indicator 1503B, and therefore cannot initiate the call. Because computer system 1500B does not have a cellular connection, some or all of call management options 1504B3 are disabled.

0551Because the call is to a non-emergency number, when the attempt to initiate the call fails, computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B display menu user interface 1506A and home screen 1506B, respectively, as shown in <figref idref="f0071">FIG. 15B</figref>. Menu user interface 1506A displayed on computer system 1500A is a menu interface of the phone application on computer system 1500A. Accordingly, when an attempt to initiate a call to a non-emergency number fails, computer system 1500A ceases display of calling interface 1504A and displays (e.g., returns to) menu user interface 1506A. Home screen 1506B displayed on computer system 1500B includes selectable icons corresponding to respective applications that, when selected, open and/or launch the respective application. Accordingly, when an attempt to initiate a call to a non-emergency number fails, computer system 1500B ceases display of calling interface 1504B and displays (e.g., returns to) home screen 1506B. In some embodiments, computer system 1500B displays home screen 1506B when the attempt to initiate a call to a non-emergency number fails when computer system 1500A initiates the call. In some embodiments, when computer system 1500B initiates the call, computer system 1500B displays a menu user interface of the phone application (e.g., analogous to menu user interface 1506A displayed on computer system 1500A) when the attempt to initiate a call to a non-emergency number fails. In some embodiments, when an attempt to initiate a call to a non-emergency number fails, computer system 1500B displays a user interface that was displayed at the time that the attempt to initiate the call was made.

0552<figref idref="f0072">FIG. 15C</figref> illustrates an example technique for initiating a communication, such as a phone call, with a designated entity, such as an emergency contact or an emergency service (e.g., 911). Computer system detects input 1510A (e.g., a press, multiple presses, or a press and hold) on hardware button 1507A while displaying clock face user interface 1508A. In response to detecting input 1510A, computer system 1500A displays user interface 1512A, which includes power off option 1512A1, medical ID option 1512A2, and emergency SOS option 1512A3. In response to detecting input 1510B (e.g., a tap gesture, a swipe gesture, or other selection input) selecting emergency SOS option 1512A3, computer system 1500A attempts to initiate a communication with emergency services (e.g., 911) via computer system 1500B.

0553<figref idref="f0073">FIGS. 15E-15G</figref> illustrate an alternative or additional technique for initiating a call to emergency services. In <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15E</figref>, computer system 1500A displays home screen 1514A (also referred to as a springboard or a launch screen), which includes selectable icons corresponding to respective applications that, when selected, cause computer system 1500A to open or launch the respective application. In response to detecting input 1510C (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting icon 1514A1, which corresponds to a phone application, computer system 1500A displays menu user interface 1506A of the phone application, as shown in <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15F</figref>. In response to detecting input 1510D (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting keypad option 1515D, computer system 1500A displays keypad user interface 1516A of the phone application, as shown in <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15G</figref>. In <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15G</figref>, computer system 1500A detects a set of inputs including input 1510E1 (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on "9" button 1516A1), input 1510E2 (e.g., two tap gestures or other selection inputs on "1" button 1516A2), and 1510E3 (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on call button 1516A3). In response to detecting the set of inputs in <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15G</figref>, computer system 1500A attempts to initiate a communication with emergency services (e.g., 911) via computer system 1500B.

0554<figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15H</figref> illustrates an alternative or additional technique for initiating a call to emergency services. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A is capable of detecting that a user has fallen. In response to detecting that a user has fallen, computer system 1500A initiates a process for attempting to communicate with (e.g., make a call to) an emergency service and/or an emergency contact. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that a user has fallen, computer system 1500A displays menu user interface 1512A shown in <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15D</figref>, which provides a user with easy access to emergency SOS option 1512A3 to initiate a communication with emergency services. In some embodiments, if computer system 1500A does not detect an input for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or one minute), computer system displays user interface 1518A, as shown in <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15H</figref>. User interface 1518A includes indication 1518A1, countdown timer 1518A2, and cancel option 1518A3. Indication 1518A1 indicates that computer system 1500A will initiate a call to emergency services. Countdown timer 1518A2 displays an amount of time (e.g., a number of seconds) until computer system 1500A will automatically initiate a call to emergency services. A user can select cancel option 1518A3 (e.g., via a tap gesture) to end the countdown and prevent computer system 1500A from automatically initiating a call to emergency services. If the countdown reaches zero before being cancelled, computer system 1500A automatically initiates a call to emergency services. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that a user has fallen, computer system displays user interface 1518A and initiates a countdown without first displaying menu user interface 1512A.

0555Once computer system 1500A initiates a call to emergency services via computer system 1500B according to the techniques described with reference to <figref idref="f0072 f0073">FIGS. 15C-15H</figref>, computer system 1500A displays calling interface 1520A (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0074">FIG. 15I</figref>) and computer system 1500B displays corresponding calling interface 1520B (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0074">FIG. 15J</figref>). Calling interface 1520A includes recipient indicator 1520A1, which indicates that a call is being made to 911. Calling interface 1520B includes recipient indicator 1520B1, call status indicator 1520B2, call management options 1520B3, and end call affordance 1520B4. In some embodiments, calling interface 1520B is calling interface 1503B displayed and described in <figref idref="f0070">FIG. 15A</figref>. In some embodiments, calling interface 1520B is calling interface 602K or 602L displayed and described in <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K and 6L</figref>, respectively. In some embodiments, call management options 1520B3 include one or more (e.g., all or a subset) of call management buttons 603 displayed and described in <figref idref="f0015">FIGS. 6K-6L</figref>.

0556In <figref idref="f0074">FIG. 15J</figref>, network indicator 1503B indicates that computer system 1500B does not have a cellular connection. Because computer system 1500B does not have a cellular connection, and is therefore unable to initiate a call with 911, and because the call is to an emergency service, computer system 1500A displays satellite communication button 1520B5 (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15L</figref>) and computer system 1500A displays prompt 1522A2 (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15K</figref>), which includes instructions for a user to try texting 911 via satellite on computer system 1500B. In some embodiments, satellite communication button 1520B5 is (or provides the same functionality as) satellite communication button 604G in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>, satellite communication button 604I in <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>, or satellite communication button 904A in <figref idref="f0029">FIG. 9A</figref>.

0557In <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15K</figref>, since computer system 1500B does not have a cellular connection, in addition to (e.g., concurrently with) prompt 1522A2, computer system 1500A displays call status indicator 1522A1, which indicates a status of no connection with a warning graphic (e.g., a circle with an exclamation point inside), and call again option 1522A3 (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0077">FIG. 15O</figref>) in user interface 1522A. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A replaces user interface 1520A with user interface 1522A (e.g., computer system 1500A ceases display of user interface 1520A and displays user interface 1522A). In some embodiments, in addition to or instead of call again option 1522A3, computer system 1500A displays a dismission option that, when selected, causes computer system 1500A to cease display of user interface 1522A, display a phone user interface (e.g., 1506A, 1516A, 1520A) or other user interface, and, optionally, end the attempt to initiate the call. In some embodiments, computer system 1500A ceases display of user interface 1522A, displays a phone user interface (e.g., 1506A, 1516A, or 1520A) or other user interface, and, optionally, ends the attempt to initiate the call in response to detecting an input (e.g., a press of rotatable input mechanism 1505A, a rotation of rotatable input mechanism 1505A, and/or a press of hardware button 1507A).

0558In <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15L</figref>, since computer system 1500B does not have a cellular connection, call status indicator 1520B2 displays (or is updated to display) a status of no connection with a warning graphic (e.g., a circle with an exclamation point inside). In response to detecting input 1510F (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting end call option 1520B4 in <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15L</figref>, computer system 1500B stops attempting to initiate a call with 911. In response to detecting input 1510G (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting satellite communication button 1520B5 in <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15L</figref>, computer system 1500B initiates a process for aligning computer system 1500B with a satellite and/or sending a communication via a satellite communication network, as described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref> and/or 9A-9U. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input 1510G selecting satellite communication button 1520B5 when computer system 1500B is not properly aligned for communication with a satellite, computer system 1500B initiates an alignment process and/or displays one or more alignment interfaces or elements, such as alignment interfaces 902C-902J and 902O-902P depicted and described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref> and <figref idref="f0042 f0043">9O-9P</figref>, banner 926 depicted and described in <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref>, and/or graphical element 931 depicted and described in <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref>.

0559In some embodiments, if computer system 1500B does not detect selection of satellite communication button 1520B5 within a predetermined amount of time, computer system 1500B automatically sends (or initiates a process to send) a communication via a satellite communication network, as described in <figref idref="f0014">FIGS. 6I</figref>, <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">6M-6Y</figref>, and/or <figref idref="f0029">9A-9B</figref>.

0560After a communication has been sent via a satellite communication network, computer system 1500A maintains display of user interface 1522A (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0076">FIG. 15M</figref>) and computer system 1500B displays notification 1524B1 (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0076">FIG. 15N</figref>). In some embodiments, user interface 1522A is updated to indicate a change in cellular signal status and either maintains display of prompt 1522A1 or ceases display of prompt 1522A1. Notification 1524B1 informs the user that computer system 1500B sent a request via satellite. In <figref idref="f0076">FIG. 15N</figref>, notification 1524B1 is displayed on lock screen 1524B. In some embodiments, when computer system 1500B is in a sleep state or a low-power state, computer system 1500B displays notification 1524B1 as shown in <figref idref="f0076">FIG. 15N</figref>. In some embodiments, when computer system 1500B is in an active state (e.g., not in a locked state and not in a sleep state or a low-power state), notification 1524B1 is displayed as a banner (e.g., at or near the top of display 1502B). In some embodiments, computer system 1500B displays notification 1524B1 in accordance with a determination that (e.g., only if) a communication was sent automatically via satellite automatically (e.g., without user input and/or because the user was unresponsive).

0561In <figref idref="f0076">FIG. 15N</figref>, computer system 1500B detects input 1510H (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting notification 1524B1. In response to detecting input 1510H, computer system 1500B displays reporting interface 1526B, as shown in <figref idref="f0077">FIG. 15P</figref>. In some embodiments, reporting interface 1526B includes end button1526B1, message region1526B2, text message 1526B3, text entry field 1526B4, and send button 1526B5.

0562In <figref idref="f0077">FIG. 15O</figref>, computer system 1500A detects input 1510I (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting call again option 1522A3. In response to detecting input 1510I, computer system 1500A attempts (e.g., re-attempts) to initiate a call with emergency services via computer system 1500B. Since computer system 1500B has cellular service when computer system 1500A attempts to initiate the call (e.g., as indicated by network indicator 1503B in <figref idref="f0077">FIG. 15P</figref>), computer system 1500A and computer system 1500B are able to establish a call with 911, as shown in <figref idref="f0078">FIGS. 15Q and 15R</figref>. In <figref idref="f0078">FIG. 15Q</figref>, computer system 1500A displays calling interface 1520A, which shows the recipient (911) and the duration of the call (1 min 16 secs). In <figref idref="f0078">FIG. 15R</figref>, computer system 1500B displays calling interface 1520B. Compared to calling interface 1520B displayed when cellular service is not available (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0074">FIG. 15J</figref> and <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15L</figref>), call status indicator 1520B2 displays the duration of the call and call management options 1520B3 are enabled.

Because cellular service is not available and the attempted call is to emergency services, computer system 1500C and computer system 1500B display options to send a communication via satellite, as shown in <figref idref="f0083">FIGS. 15AA and 15AB</figref>. Computer system 1500C displays satellite communication button 1534C6 on calling interface 1534C, and computer system 1500B displays satellite communication button 1520B5 (e.g., described above with reference to <figref idref="f0075">FIG. 15L</figref>) on calling interface 1520B. In some embodiments, satellite communication button 1534C6 is (or provides the same functionality as) satellite communication button 604G in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>, satellite communication button 604I in <figref idref="f0014">FIG. 6I</figref>, or satellite communication button 904A in <figref idref="f0029">FIG. 9A</figref>.

0569In <figref idref="f0083">FIG. 15AA</figref>, in response to detecting input 1510N (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting end call option 1534C3, computer system 1500C causes the call to end. Similarly, in <figref idref="f0083">FIG. 15AB</figref>, in response to detecting input 1510P (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting end call option 1520B4, computer system 1500B causes the call to end. In response to detecting input 15100 (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input) selecting satellite communication button 1534C6 in <figref idref="f0083">FIG. 15AA</figref>, computer system 1500C initiates a process for aligning computer system 1500B with a satellite and/or sending a communication via a satellite communication network, as described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref> and/or 9A-9U.

0571<figref idref="f0086">FIG. 16</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating a method for initiating a communication using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1600 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 900, 1100, 1300A, 1300B, 1500A, and/or 1500C) (e.g., a device connected wired and/or wirelessly to an external computer system, an in-car infotainment device, a smartwatch, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a smartphone, a desktop computer, or a head mounted device (e.g., a head mounted augmented reality and/or extended reality device)) that is in communication with an output generation component (e.g., a display controller, a display generation component, a touch-sensitive display system, a speaker, a haptic generation component, and/or a head mounted display system), one or more input devices (e.g., 1502A, 1502B, or 1502C) (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, an accelerometer, a heartrate sensor, a blood oxygen monitor, and/or a microphone), and an external computer system (e.g., 1500B) (e.g., a smartphone, a smart watch, a laptop, and/or a tablet). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with the external computer system via a wired and/or wireless network (e.g., Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi). Some operations in method 1600 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0572As described below, method 1600 provides an intuitive way for initiating a communication. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for initiating a communication, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to initiate a communication faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0573The computer system receives (1602) a request (e.g., 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, and/or 1510R) (e.g., an input on: a selectable option, an affordance, a button, a graphical element, a graphical object, and/or an icon displayed on the output generation component), via the one or more input devices, to initiate a communication (e.g., to emergency services, and/or to an emergency contact). In some embodiments, the request is a voice command. In some embodiments, the request to initiate a communication is to an external computer system. In response to receiving the request to initiate the communication (1604): in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is connected to (e.g., in communication with) a terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., as indicated by cellular status indicator 1303A, 1503A, 1503B and/or 1503C) (e.g., a cellular network and/or Wi-Fi network), the computer system initiates (1606) a process for communicating (e.g., communicating with emergency services or a contact, sending a text, initiating an audio call, sending an email, and/or initiating an audio/video conference) via a terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0078">FIGS. 15Q, 15R</figref>, <figref idref="f0085">15AE</figref>, and/or 15AF); and in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., the external computer system is not connected to the terrestrial wireless communication network and/or the computer system is unable to receive a signal with sufficient reception and/or consistency to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network), the computer system provides (1608), via the output generation component, a prompt (e.g., 1522A2 or 1534C6) (e.g., a notification, an audio output, a haptic output, a visual notification, textual instructions, video instructions, a graphical element, a graphical object, and/or an icon) to use the external computer system to connect to (e.g., to connect the computer system and/or the external computer system to) a non-terrestrial network (e.g., satellite communication network and/or a low-bandwidth communication network). Providing a prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not connected to the terrestrial wireless network provides the user with information about an operation available on the external computer system and guides the user to the appropriate device to initiate the communication, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0574In some embodiments, the terrestrial wireless communication network is a cellular network associated with the computer system (e.g., provided by the user's cellular service provider) or another cellular network (e.g., provided by another cellular service provider). In some embodiments, for an emergency call, the computer system can use a network provided by a network provider other than a provider associated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the external computer system is connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network when the external computer system is receiving sufficient cellular service and/or consistency of connection to communicate. In some embodiments, the prompt was not previously displayed. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the external computer system is connected to the terrestrial wireless communication network, the computer system forgoes providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network (e.g., initiates the process for communicating via a terrestrial wireless communication network without providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication, the computer system provides the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is configured to connect to the non-terrestrial network, is connected to the non-terrestrial network, and/or is configured to communicate via the non-terrestrial network. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication, the computer system forgoes providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not configured to connect to the non-terrestrial network, is not connected to the non-terrestrial network, and/or is not configured to communicate via the non-terrestrial network.

0575In some embodiments, the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network includes an indication (e.g., instructions, text, and/or graphical indicator(s)) that satellite communication is available (e.g., that the external computer system is capable of connecting to a satellite communication network and/or that the external computer system is capable of communication, such as sending a text message, via satellite communication) (e.g., "TRY TEXTING 911 VIA SATELLITE ON YOUR PHONE" in 1522A2 and/or "TEXT 911 VIA SATELLITE" displayed below satellite communication button 1534C6). Displaying an indication that satellite communication is available provides the user with additional information about the type of communication that can be performed with the external computer system, which improves visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0576In some embodiments, after receiving the request to initiate the communication (e.g., 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, and/or 1510R): in accordance with a determination that an attempt to communicate via the non-terrestrial network has been made (or, optionally, that a communication has been sent) (e.g., by the computer system and/or by the external computer system), the computer system causes output (e.g., display) of (e.g., on the computer system and/or the external computer system) an attempted-communication notification (e.g., 1524B1) (e.g., a visual notification, a textual notification, a tactile notification, and/or an audio notification) that an attempt to communicate via the non-terrestrial network has been made. In some embodiments, the attempted-communication notification is displayed on a wake screen (e.g., a lock screen). Providing a notification in accordance with a determination that an attempt to communicate via the non-terrestrial network has been made provides a user with information about an operation performed by the computer system of which a user may not have been aware, which provides improved visual feedback.

0577In some embodiments, the computer system is wearable (e.g., the computer system is 1500A) (e.g., the computer system includes a wearable device, a watch, a band, a strap, and/or an operating system on a wearable device). A wearable computer system provides convenient access to information and an efficient way to provide inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. In some embodiments, the computer system is included in a vehicle (e.g., the computer system is 1500C) (e.g., a car or truck; the computer system is or includes an in-car infotainment system). In some embodiments, the computer system displays a user interface on a display in a vehicle (e.g., on a console of a vehicle). In some embodiments, the user interface is controlled by the external computer system (e.g., via a wired or wireless communication link). In some embodiments, the user interface is generated by the external computer system. In some embodiments, the user interface is generated by the computer system and displays information provided by the external computer system (e.g., the external computer system coordinates with the computer system to display information). Including the computer system in a vehicle provides convenient access to the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network when a user is in a vehicle, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0578In some embodiments, while providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network, the computer system attempts (e.g., continues to attempt) to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., while computer system 1500A displays prompt 1522A2 in <figref idref="f0075">FIGS. 15K</figref>, <figref idref="f0076">15M</figref>, and/or 150, computer system 1500A and/or computer system 1500B attempts to communicate via a cellular communication network; while computer system 1500C displays satellite communication button 1534C6 in <figref idref="f0083">FIG. 15AA</figref>, computer system 1500C and/or computer system 1500B attempts to communicate via a cellular communication network). In some embodiments, the computer system and/or the external computer system attempts to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network while providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network. In some embodiments, attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network while providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network is performed in accordance with a determination that the request to initiate communication is a request to initiate communication with an emergency service. In some embodiments, the computer system (and/or, optionally, the external computer system) forgoes attempting (or continuing to attempt) to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network while providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network in accordance with a determination that the request to initiate communication is not a request to initiate communication with an emergency service (e.g., the computer system and/or the external computer system attempt to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network while providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network only for requests to initiate communication with an emergency service). Attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network allows the computer system to continue to attempt one communication method (e.g., a more data dense method), without additional user input, while providing an option for another communication method, which reduces the number of inputs needed by a user to perform an action and, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0579In some embodiments, after attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network while providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network: in accordance with a determination that attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network has stopped (e.g., in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to stop attempting to communicate or in accordance with a determination that a time threshold is met), the computer system changes (e.g., updating) a user interface (e.g., computer system 1500A ceases display of 1522A2 and, optionally, displays user interface 1506A, 1508A, 1514A, or 1516A; computer system 1500C ceases display of satellite communicati0n button 1534C6 and, optionally, displays user interface 1527C, 1532C in <figref idref="f0080">FIG. 15U</figref>, 1532C in <figref idref="f0081">FIG. 15W</figref>, or 1536C). Changing the user interface in accordance with a determination that attempts to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network have stopped provides the user with feedback that the computer system and/or the external computer system are no longer attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network and indicates to the user that further user input may be required to re-initiate attempts to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. In some embodiments, the computer system and/or the external computer system stop attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network in response to detecting a user input corresponding to a request to stop attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, changing the user interface is performed in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to stop attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, changing the user interface includes changing one or more elements (e.g., a notification, a prompt, text, and/or a graphical indication) of the user interface. In some embodiments, the computer system and/or the external computer system stop attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network in accordance with a determination that a time threshold has been met, such as a predetermined amount of time after receiving the request to initiate the communication or after providing the prompt for a predetermined amount of time. In some embodiments, changing the user interface includes displaying an option that, when selected, causes the computer system and/or the external computer system to attempt to communicate (e.g., to call or re-dial emergency services) via the terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, changing the user interface includes replacing an end call option and/or a dismiss option with an option that, when selected, causes the computer system and/or the external computer system to attempt to communicate (e.g., to call or re-dial emergency services) via the terrestrial wireless communication network.

0580In some embodiments, while providing the prompt (e.g., 1522A2 and/or 1534C6) to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network and attempting (e.g., continuing to attempt) to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network, the computer system detects a user input (e.g., 1510I, a press of rotatable input mechanism 1505A, a rotation of rotatable input mechanism 1505A, and/or a press of hardware button 1507A, such as input 1510A) (e.g., a tap gesture or other selection input on a dismiss option, and/or a voice command) corresponding to a request to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network; and in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network, the computer system displays a phone user interface (e.g., 1506A, 1516A, or 1532C in <figref idref="f0080">FIGS. 15U</figref> or <figref idref="f0081">15W</figref>) (e.g., a user interface of a phone application and/or a calling user interface). In some embodiments, the phone user interface includes an indication that an attempt to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network is being made (e.g., by the computer system and/or by the external computer system). In some embodiments, the phone user interface includes options to control a phone call (e.g., to end a phone call and/or to attempt to initiate a phone call), to control a speaker function, to control a mute function, to display a keypad, and/or to view and/or select contactable users. In some embodiments, the phone user interface is displayed prior to providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network (e.g., the phone user interface is re-displayed in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network, the computer system and/or the external computer system ceases attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network, the computer system and/or the external computer system ceases displaying an option to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network. Displaying a phone user interface in response to detecting the user input corresponding to a request to dismiss the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network informs the user of a status of an attempt to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network and provides a user with quick access to the ability to attempt (or re-attempt) to initiate communication (either with an emergency service or another entity) via a terrestrial wireless communication network, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0581In some embodiments, attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network includes automatically (e.g., without user input) attempting to initiate the communication (e.g., a phone call and/or a test message) via the terrestrial wireless communication network in response to receiving the request (e.g., 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, and/or 1510R) to initiate the communication, and after (or, optionally, while) attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network and while providing the prompt (e.g., 1522A2 and/or 1534C6) to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network, a phone user interface (e.g., 1505B or 1520B) is displayed by the external computer system (e.g., 1500B). In some embodiments, the phone user interface includes an indication that an attempt to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network is being made (e.g., by the computer system and/or by the external computer system). In some embodiments, the phone user interface includes options to control a phone call (e.g., to end a phone call and/or to attempt to initiate a phone call), to control a speaker function, to control a mute function, to display a keypad, and/or to view and/or select contactable users. Automatically attempting to initiate the communication via the terrestrial wireless communication network and displaying a phone user interface enables communication without requiring a user input which can be beneficial in emergency situations where a user cannot provide a user input to initiate the communication via a terrestrial wireless network, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0582In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request (e.g., 1510A, 1510B, 1510C, 1510D, 1510E1, 1510E2, 1510E3, 1510I, 1510J, 1510K, 1510L, 1510M, and/or 1510R) to initiate the communication, and in accordance with a determination that the external computer system (e.g., 1500B) is not connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network, the computer system displays, via the output generation component, an option (e.g., 1534C6) that, when selected (e.g., via a tap gesture on the option), initiates a process (e.g., on the computer system and/or the external computer system) for communicating (e.g., sending a text message, an instant message, a voice message, and/or an email) via a non-terrestrial network (e.g., using the computer system and/or the external computer system). In some embodiments, the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network includes the option that, when selected, initiates a process for communicating via a non-terrestrial network. Displaying an option to initiate a process for communicating via a non-terrestrial network in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication, and in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network, provides the user with an option to initiate communication using a method that is less data intense compared to a call or other forms of communication, which can be beneficial in situations where the computer system is unable to communicate via other forms of communication, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0583In some embodiments, the request to initiate the communication includes data indicating that a user of the computer system has fallen (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15H</figref>). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication: the computer system automatically (e.g., without user input) attempts to communicate (e.g., via the terrestrial wireless communication network and/or the non-terrestrial wireless communication network) with a predetermined entity (e.g., 911, emergency services, and/or one or more predetermined contactable entities, such as a designated emergency contact) (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0073">FIG. 15H</figref>). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with one or more motion sensors (e.g., accelerometers and/or gyroscopes) that are configured to detect motion of the computer system. In some embodiments, a determination is made that a user has fallen when motion (e.g., a detected velocity and/or acceleration) of the computer system (or another device associated with the user) meets a set of motion criteria (e.g., meets or exceeds a threshold velocity and/or acceleration). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with one or more biometric sensors (e.g., a heartrate sensor and/or a blood oxygen monitor) that can be used to determine that a user has fallen. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication, and prior to automatically attempting to communicate, the computer system displays a countdown (e.g., a numeric countdown of an amount of time until the computer system will automatically attempt to communicate). In some embodiments, the computer system displays, concurrently with the countdown, a selectable option to cancel the countdown (e.g., if the option to cancel the countdown is selected before the countdown ends, the computer system does not automatically attempt to communicate). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the countdown, displays the option to cancel the countdown, and/or automatically attempts to communicate in accordance with a determination that a user of the computer system has fallen. Automatically attempting to communicate in response to detecting that a user has fallen provides a user with a means to communicate when the user is injured and/or unable to interact with the computer system (e.g., if the user is unable to initiate the communication), which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0584In some embodiments, after automatically attempting to communicate with a predetermined entity: in accordance with a determination that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network (e.g., via one or more satellites), the computer system (e.g., 1500A, 1500B, and/or 1500C) displays an indication (e.g., 1524B1, 1526B3, and/or 1536C2) (e.g., a summary user interface, a notification, text, and/or a graphic) that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network. In some embodiments, the indication that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network is displayed on the external computer system (e.g., in accordance with a determination that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network). In some embodiments, displaying the indication that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network includes displaying a summary of information (e.g., location, medical information, and/or identifying information) that was included in the message. Displaying a an indication that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network in accordance with a determination that a message was automatically sent via a non-terrestrial network provides a user with information about the message, enables a user to take remedial action if the attempt to communicate (e.g., an attempted call to emergency services) was not needed or desired, and/or enables a user to provide additional information, which provides improved visual feedback to the user.

0585In some embodiments, after (or, optionally, in response to) receiving the request to initiate the communication, the computer system displays, via the output generation component, a selectable sound option (e.g., 1536C3) (e.g., a button, an affordance, and/or a graphical indication) that, when selected, causes the external computer system to output audio (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0084">FIG. 15AD</figref>). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the selectable sound option in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the selectable sound option concurrently with the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the selectable sound option in response to detecting a selection of the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the selectable sound option concurrently with an option (e.g., a call again option) that, when selected, causes the computer system and/or the external computer system to attempt (or re-attempt) to call a predetermined entity via a terrestrial wireless communication network. Displaying a selectable sound option provides the user with a technique to locate the external computer system, which reduces the amount of time a user needs to locate the external computer system and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0586In some embodiments, after receiving the request to initiate the communication, the computer system attempts to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network; and after attempting (e.g., unsuccessfully) to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network, the computer system displays, via the output generation component, a selectable call option (e.g., 1522A3 and/or 1536C4) (e.g., a button, an affordance, and/or a graphical indication) that, when selected, initiates an attempt (e.g., another attempt) to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network. In some embodiments, the selectable call option is displayed concurrently with the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network. Displaying the selectable call option after attempting to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network provides the user with an efficient means to re-attempt to communicate via the terrestrial wireless communication network (which may be a preferred method of communication), which improves visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0587In some embodiments, providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network is performed in accordance with a determination that the request to initiate the communication includes a request to initiate communication with a predefined entity (e.g., emergency services or a contactable user that a user associated with computer system has designated as an emergency contact) (e.g., computer system 1500A displays prompt 1522A2 for the call to 911 in <figref idref="f0074">FIG 15I</figref>). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication: in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network and that the request to initiate the communication does not include a request to initiate communication with a predefined entity, the computer system forgoes providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network (e.g., computer system 1500A does not display prompt 1522A2 for the number called in <figref idref="f0070">FIG 15A</figref>) (e.g., the computer system provides the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network only in response to a request to initiate communication with a predefined entity). Providing (or forgoing providing) the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network based on whether or not the request to initiate the communication includes a request to initiate communication with a predefined entity provides the prompt when it is contextually relevant and avoids distracting the user with options that are unlikely to be relevant under typical circumstances, which provides improved visual feedback, performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface. Forgoing providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network when the request to initiate the communication does not include a request to initiate communication with a predefined entity (e.g., emergency services) reduces non-emergency use of bandwidth when bandwidth is constrained, which increases the likelihood that sufficient bandwidth will be available for emergency communications.

0588In some embodiments, providing the prompt (e.g., 1522A2 and/or 1534C6) to use the external computer system to connect to the non-terrestrial network is performed in accordance with a determination that the external computer system (e.g., 1500B) is capable of connecting to (or, optionally, communicating via) the non-terrestrial network (e.g., the external computer system includes hardware and/or software that enables the external computer system to connect to and communicate via the non-terrestrial network). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to initiate the communication: in accordance with a determination that the external computer system is not connected to a terrestrial wireless communication network and that the external computer system is capable of connecting to (or, optionally, communicating via) the non-terrestrial network, the computer system forgoes providing the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network (e.g., the computer system provides the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network only if the external computer system is capable of connecting to and/or communicating via the non-terrestrial network). Providing (or forgoing providing) the prompt to use the external computer system to connect to a non-terrestrial network based on whether or not the external computer system is capable of connecting to the non-terrestrial network provides the prompt when it is contextually relevant and avoids distracting the user with options that are not available based on the capabilities of the external computer system, which provides improved visual feedback, performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface.

0589Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1600 (e.g., <figref idref="f0086">FIG. 16</figref>) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1800, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 1600. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, and/or 1400 optionally include the techniques for initiating a communication described in method 1600. For example, method 1800 can initiate a communication according to method 1600 from a messaging application. For example, initiating a communication as described in method 1600 can be simulated in the alternative communication network test mode in method 2000. For example, initiating a communication as described in method 1600 can be the process corresponding to the user interface object in method 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

0593In <figref idref="f0087">FIG. 17A</figref>, computer system displays home screen 1700, which includes selectable application icons for launching corresponding applications, including messaging application icon 1700a. In response to detecting selection 1750a of messaging application icon 1700a, computer system 600 displays user interface 1702 of the messaging application, as shown in <figref idref="f0087">FIG. 17B</figref>. User interface 1702 includes new message option 1702a and a list of messaging conversations (e.g., previous and/or existing messaging conversations) between a user associated with computer system 600 and one or more other entities. The list of messaging conversations in user interface 1702 includes conversation item 1702b corresponding to a message conversation with an emergency service, conversation item 1702c corresponding to a message conversation with 911 (e.g., an emergency number), and conversation item 1702d corresponding to a message conversation with a non-emergency service or number (e.g., contactable user named Trevor).

0594In response to detecting selection 1750b of new message option 1702a, computer system 600 displays new message interface 1704 for sending a new message, as shown in <figref idref="f0088">FIG. 17C</figref>. New message interface 1704 includes recipient field 1704a, message compose field 1704c for entering content (e.g., text, images, and/or icons) of a new message, send option 1704d for sending a message that includes content entered into message compose field 1704c, and keyboard 1704e for selecting text to enter into message compose field 1704c. In <figref idref="f0088">FIG. 17C</figref>, a user has entered an emergency number (e.g., 911, or other local emergency number) into recipient field 1704a (e.g., via inputs 1750x and 1750y on keys "9" and "1", respectively, in keyboard 1704e). In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0088">FIG. 17C</figref>, in response to entry of the emergency number into recipient field 1704a, computer system 600 displays recipient suggestion 1704b corresponding to an emergency service because an emergency number was entered into recipient field 104a. In some embodiments, computer system 600 does not display an emergency service as a suggested recipient (e.g., recipient suggestion 1704b) in response to an emergency number being entered into recipient field 1704a.

0595In response to detecting selection 1750g of message compose field 1704c in <figref idref="f0088">FIG. 17C</figref>, computer system 600 displays a message conversation with the emergency number, as shown in <figref idref="f0088">FIG. 17D</figref>.

In response to selection 1750p of message compose field 1722b, computer system 600 displays a keyboard. A user can send a message to emergency services via messaging interface 1722 by entering content into message compose field 1722b and selecting send option 1722c.

0618In some embodiments, computer system 600 performs the process for aligning computer system 600 with the alternative communication network and/or connecting computer system 600 with the alternative communication network (e.g., the process described in <figref idref="f0093 f0094 f0095">FIGS. 17N-17P</figref>, the process described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044 f0045">FIGS. 9C-9U</figref>, and/or method 1000) before the process of generating and/or initiating sending of the communication (e.g., the process described with reference to <figref idref="f0092 f0093">FIGS. 17K-17M</figref>, the process described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref>, and/or method 800). For example, in some embodiments, computer system 600 displays alignment interface 1720 in response to detecting selection 1750k of connect via satellite option 1706d in <figref idref="f0091">FIG. 17J</figref>, in response to selection 1750j of connect via satellite option 1706d in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17H</figref>, in response to detecting selection 1750d of conversation item 1702c in <figref idref="f0087">FIG. 17B</figref> when computer system 600 does not have cellular service, and/or in response to detecting an attempt to send a message to an emergency number (e.g., selection 1750t of send option 1704d in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17H</figref> and/or selection 1750s of send option 1712c in <figref idref="f0091">FIG. 17J</figref>) when computer system 600 does not have cellular service.

0619Turning to <figref idref="f0095">FIG. 17Q</figref>, computer system 600 displays new message interface 1704 described with reference to <figref idref="f0088">FIGS. 17C-17D</figref> and <figref idref="f0090">17G-17H</figref>. In <figref idref="f0095">FIG. 17Q</figref>, the text "TREVOR" has been entered into recipient field 1704a (e.g., via inputs 1750z on keyboard 1704e). In response to entry of "TREVOR" into recipient field 1704a, computer system 600 displays recipient suggestion 1704g corresponding to a contactable user named Trevor, which is a non-emergency service or number. Notably, unlike new message interface 1704 in <figref idref="f0088">FIGS. 17C</figref> and <figref idref="f0090">17G</figref>, since the recipient entered into recipient field 1704a is not an emergency number, computer system 600 does not display an option to contact an emergency service (e.g., does not display recipient suggestion 1704b corresponding to an emergency service or call emergency number option 1704f), even though computer system 600 does not have cellular service (e.g., as indicted by cellular status indicator 1701).

0620In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 1750q of recipient suggestion 1704g (or in response to detecting selection 1750e of conversation item 1702d in <figref idref="f0087">FIG. 17B</figref>), computer system 600 displays messaging interface 1726 of a message conversation in a messaging application between the user associated with computer system 600 and the contactable user Trevor, as shown in <figref idref="f0096">FIG. 17R</figref>. Messaging interface 1726 includes message region 1726a, message compose field 1726b, send option 1726c, and keyboard 1726d. Message region 1726a includes message 1726e from the user associated with computer system 600 to contactable user Trevor and message 1726f from contactable user Trevor to the user associated with computer system 600. Notably, unlike new message interface 1704 in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17H</figref> and user interface 1712 in <figref idref="f0091">FIG. 17J</figref>, since the message conversation is not with an emergency number, messaging interface 1726 does not include an option to connect and/or send a message via an alternative communication network (e.g., messaging interface 1726 does not include connect via satellite option 1706d), even though computer system 600 does not have cellular service (e.g., as indicted by cellular status indicator 1701).

0621<figref idref="f0097">FIG. 18</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating a method for initiating communication via an alternative communication network using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1800 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 900, 1100, 1300A, 1300B, 1500A, 1500B, 1500C, a smartphone, smartwatch, laptop computer, desktop computer, and/or tablet computer) that is in communication with an output generation component (e.g., a display generation component, a display controller, a display device, a monitor, a touch-sensitive display system, one or more speakers, and/or one or more haptic output generators) and one or more input devices (e.g., 601, 901, 1106, 1302A, 1302B, 1502A, 1502B, 1502C, a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, a keyboard, a mouse, a camera, a rotatable input mechanism, and/or a microphone). Some operations in method 1800 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0622As described below, method 1800 provides an intuitive way for initiating communication via an alternative communication network. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for initiating communication via an alternative communication network, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to initiate communication via an alternative communication network faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0623The computer system detects (1802), via the one or more input devices, a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1750b, 1750d, 1750g, 1750x, 1750y, entry of "911" in 1704a, selection 1750r of 1704c in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17G</figref>, a contact and/or touch gesture on a touch-sensitive surface, an air gesture, a mouse click, a key press, a button press, and/or a voice command) that includes selection of a respective number (or, in some embodiments, a respective recipient) for text-based communication (e.g., SMS, MMS, instant messaging, IP based messaging, or other text-based messaging communication). In some embodiments, the respective number is associated with and/or corresponds to a contactable entity (e.g., a person, user, business, and/or service). In some embodiments, selection of the respective number includes entry of the respective number (e.g., via a keypad) or selection of a contactable entity associated with the respective number from a menu or list (e.g., a contacts list and/or list of search results). In some embodiments, selection of the respective number for text-based communication includes selecting the respective number as an intended recipient of text-based communication. In some embodiments, the computer system detects the set of one or more inputs in (e.g., while displaying) a user interface of a messaging application (e.g., a text messaging application and/or an instant messaging application; the set of one or more inputs corresponds to selection of an intended recipient for a new text message, a search request for the respective number in the messaging application, and/or selection of an existing or previous text message conversation that includes the respective number). In some embodiments, the text message conversation that includes the respective number is included in a list of existing and/or previous text messages and/or text message conversations.

0624In response (1804) to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes selection of the respective number (or, in some embodiments, the respective recipient) for text-based communication: in accordance with (1806) a determination that a set of alternative communication criteria is met, wherein the set of alternative communication criteria includes a first criterion that is met when the respective number (or, in some embodiments, the respective recipient) is a respective type of number (or, in some embodiments, a respective type of recipient) and a second criterion that is met when a respective communication network (or, in some embodiments, a respective communication service, a respective communication protocol, a respective type of communication network, a respective type of communication service, or a respective type of communication protocol) is not available (e.g., when a terrestrial communication network, such as a cellular communication network or a Wi-Fi network, is not available; when no terrestrial communication network is available): the computer system outputs (1808), via the output generation component, a prompt (e.g., 1704b and/or 1706d) that includes an indication (e.g., a visual appearance, text, a font, highlighting, an animation, a color, a graphic, a sound, and/or a haptic output) that communication with the respective number (or, in some embodiments, the respective recipient or an emergency service) can be performed (e.g., using the computer system) via an alternative communication network (or, in some embodiments, an alternative communication service, an alternative communication protocol, an alternative type of communication network, an alternative type of communication service, or an alternative type of communication protocol) that is different from the respective communication network. Outputting a prompt that includes an indication that communication with the respective number can be performed via an alternative communication network in accordance with a determination that a set of alternative communication criteria is met informs the user that communication with the respective number is possible even though the respective communication network is not available and can provide a quick and efficient means for communicating via the alternative communication network, which provides improved feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Providing quick and efficient access to a respective number enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled, which is particularly important in emergency situations because a user may be stressed and more prone to making mistakes.

0625In some embodiments, the respective type of number is a number associated with an emergency service, a number designated as an emergency number, and/or a number associated with an emergency contact (e.g., a contactable entity that is designated as an emergency contact) Examples of numbers associated with an emergency service include 911 in the United States, 999 in the United Kingdom, 112 in Europe, 110 and/or 119 in Japan, and 000 in Australia. In some embodiments, the respective communication network is a terrestrial communication network, a wireless terrestrial communication network, a cellular communication network, and/or a Wi-Fi network. In some embodiments, the second criterion is met only if no terrestrial communication network is available, including cellular communication networks of service providers that are not associated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the set of alternative communication criteria is not met if the first criterion is not met and/or the second criterion is not met (e.g., the first criterion and the second criterion are necessary to meet the set of alternative communication criteria). In some embodiments, a communication network is not available if a strength and/or consistency of a signal and/or connection of the communication network is insufficient (e.g., does not meet a set of signal criteria) for the computer system to communicate via the communication network (e.g., to make a phone call and/or send a text message via the communication network). In some embodiments, a communication network (e.g., a Wi-Fi network) is not available if the computer system is not authorized to use or join the communication network

0626(e.g., the computer system has not provided a required authentication and/or password). In some embodiments, outputting the prompt includes displaying the prompt, outputting audio, and/or generating a haptic output. In some embodiments, the prompt includes (or is) a graphical user interface object, an icon, a graphic, an animation, a selectable graphical user interface object, an affordance, a button, text, a sound, a haptic output, a pop-up menu, and/or a selectable option (such as an option in a list of selectable options of methods for communicating with the respective number). Examples of methods for communicating with the respective number include, but are not limited to, phone call, text message (e.g., via a terrestrial communication network, such as a cellular communication network or a Wi-Fi network, or a non-terrestrial communication network, such as a satellite communication network), video call, and email. In some embodiments, the alternative communication network is a non-terrestrial communication network (e.g., a satellite communication network). In some embodiments, the alternative communication network has a lower communication bandwidth (e.g., data rate) than a communication bandwidth of the respective communication network.

0627In some embodiments, in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes selection of the respective number for text-based communication: in accordance with a determination that the respective number is not the respective type of number (e.g., that the respective number is not a number associated with an emergency service; and/or that the set of alternative communication criteria is not met), the computer system forgoes output of the prompt (e.g., neither 1704b nor 1706d is displayed in <figref idref="f0095">FIG. 17P or FIG. 17Q</figref>). Forgoing output of the prompt in accordance with a determination that the respective number is not the respective type of number enables the computer system to provide the prompt only for particular types of number (e.g., emergency numbers) and avoids cluttering the user interface with options when they are not needed, which provides improved feedback to the user, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0628In some embodiments, the respective communication network is a terrestrial wireless communication network (e.g., a cellular network and/or a Wi-Fi network). In some embodiments, the second criterion is met when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not available (e.g., when no terrestrial wireless communication network is available; and/or the computer system has a lack of connectivity to a terrestrial wireless communication network). Providing the prompt when a terrestrial wireless communication network is not available (among other criteria) enables the computer system to provide the prompt only when a preferred (e.g., higher speed, higher bandwidth, and/or lower power) communication network is unavailable and avoids cluttering the user interface with the prompt when it is not needed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0629In some embodiments, after outputting the prompt, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1750i, 1750j, 1750k, selection 1750r of 1704c in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17G</figref>, and/or selection 1750s of 1712c in <figref idref="f0091">FIG. 17J</figref>) that includes a request to communicate with (e.g., to send a message to) a respective entity (e.g., the respective number and/or an emergency service) via the alternative communication network; and in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to communicate with the respective entity via the alternative communication network, the computer system displays a set of selectable communication-content options (e.g., 1714a, 1716a, 604M, 604N, 604O, 604P, and/or 604Q as shown in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019">FIGS. 6M-6Q</figref>) corresponding to respective content for a communication (e.g., 1722d). In some embodiments, the set of selectable communication-content options are specific to a mode for communicating via the alternative communication network (e.g., a low-bandwidth communication mode). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to communicate with the respective entity via the alternative communication network, the computer system performs the operations described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024">FIGS. 6M-6W</figref> and/or method 800. Displaying a set of selectable communication-content options corresponding to respective content for a communication in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to communicate with the respective entity via the alternative communication network provides options that are optimal (e.g., require limited bandwidth) for communicating via the alternative communication network, reduces the number of inputs required to generate a message (e.g., without using a keyboard), and guides a user through the process for communicating via the alternative communication network, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0630In some embodiments, after outputting the prompt, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1750i, 1750j, 1750k, 1750n, selection 1750r of 1704c in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17G</figref>, and/or selection 1750s of 1712c in <figref idref="f0091">FIG. 17J</figref>) that includes a request to communicate with (e.g., to send a message to) a respective entity (e.g., the respective number and/or an emergency service) via the alternative communication network; and in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to communicate with the respective entity via the alternative communication network, the computer system initiates a process for connecting to the alternative communication network (or, in some embodiments, if the computer system is already connected to the alternative communication network, remaining connected to the alternative communication network), wherein the process for connecting to the alternative communication network includes displaying a prompt (e.g., 1720a, 1720c, 1724, a notification, a banner, text, a graphical element, audio, and/or instructions; and/or 908C, 908D, 908E, 908F, 908G, 908H, 908I, 908J, 908O, 90801, 908P, 926, and/or 931) for a user to take an action to connect the computer system to (or, in some embodiments, to keep the computer system connected to) the alternative communication network. In some embodiments, the process for connecting to the alternative communication network includes the user interfaces and/or features described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044">FIGS. 9C-9Q</figref> and method 1000. In some embodiments, the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network includes instructions to move and/or position at least a portion of the computer system in a particular direction or location (e.g., turn left, point up, and/or move outside). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected to the alternative communication network (e.g., is not properly aligned for communication with one or more satellites of the alternative communication network). In some embodiments, the process for connecting to the alternative communication network includes displaying an indication of a status of a connection between the compute system and the alternative communication network (e.g., not connected, poor connection, trying to connect, connecting, and/or connected). Initiating a process for connecting to the alternative communication network in response to detecting the request to communicate with the respective entity via the alternative communication network provides the user with a quick an efficient method for communicating via the alternative communication network, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface. Displaying a prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network (e.g., providing connection assistance) allows the user to resolve issues (e.g., misalignment and/or obstruction) that prevent the computer system from connecting to the alternative communication network quickly and efficiently with fewer inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0631In some embodiments, after outputting the prompt, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1750l. 1750m, and/or 1750n) that includes a request (or, in some embodiments, a command) to send a message (e.g., a text message) via the alternative communication network; and in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to send the message via the alternative communication network, the computer system sends the message via the alternative communication network. In some embodiments, the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to send the message via the alternative communication network includes selection of an option to generate a message, selection of content of the message (e.g., via a keyboard and/or selection of predefined content options), and/or selection of an option to send the generated message. Sending a message via the alternative communication network enables the user to send a message even though a primary communication network is unavailable, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0632In some embodiments, in accordance with (or, in some embodiments, in response to) a determination that the respective communication network is not available, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, an indication (e.g., 1701 in <figref idref="f0090 f0091 f0092 f0093 f0094 f0095">FIGS. 17G-17Q</figref>, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of a communication capability of the computer system (e.g., an indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate with a respective number or entity, such as an emergency number or emergency service); and in accordance with a determination that the respective communication network is available, the computer system forgoes display of the indication of the communication capability status of the computer system (e.g., 1701 in <figref idref="f0087 f0088 f0089">FIGS. 17A-17F</figref> does not include "SOS"). In some embodiments, the indication of the communication capability of the computer system is displayed in a portion of a user interface that includes one or more indicators of a status of the computer system (e.g., cellular status, Wi-Fi status, time, short range communication status, and/or battery level). In some embodiments, the indication of the communication capability of the computer system is displayed at a location of a display and/or user interface at which a cellular status indicator is displayed when cellular service is available. Displaying (or forgoing display of) an indication of a communication capability of the computer system based on whether or not the respective communication network is available automatically provides the user with relevant information about the communication capability of the computer system when the information is needed (e.g., when the respective communication network is not available) and prevents cluttering the user interface when the respective communication network is available, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0633In some embodiments, displaying the indication of the communication capability of the computer system includes displaying an indication (e.g., 607c) of a capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network (e.g., an indication of satellite connectivity and/or an image, glyph, or other graphical representation of a satellite). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network if (e.g., only if) a Wi-Fi capability of the computer system is disabled (e.g., Wi-Fi is turned off), and forgoes display of the indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network if the Wi-Fi capability of the computer system is enabled (e.g., Wi-Fi is turned on). Displaying the indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network provides the user with clear feedback that communication is possible via satellite even though the respective communication network is not available and without the user having to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Feedback about the communication capability of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0634In some embodiments, displaying the indication of the communication capability of the computer system includes: in accordance with a determination that the computer system is displaying a first type of user interface (e.g., 602Y, a user interface with a full or expanded region for displaying status icons and/or a control center user interface that includes selectable controls for setting operational parameters and/or activating functions of the computer system), displaying an indication (e.g., 607c) of a capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network (e.g., an indication of satellite connectivity and/or an image, glyph, or other graphical representation of a satellite); and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is displaying a second type of user interface (e.g., 602J, a user interface with a reduced-size or compacted region for displaying status icons), forgoing display of the indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network. Displaying the indication of the capability of the computer system to communicate via a satellite communication network based on the type of user interface displayed by the computer system provides the user with clear feedback, when there is adequate room on the user interface, that communication is possible via satellite even though the respective communication network is not available and without the user having to navigate a user interface to determine the communication capability of the computer system, while forgoing display of the indication when there is less room on the user interface, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces clutter on the user interface, and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Feedback about the communication capability of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0635In some embodiments, the respective type of number is an emergency number (e.g., 911 in the United States, 999 in the United Kingdom, 112 in Europe, 110 and/or 119 in Japan, or 000 in Australia), and: in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1750b, 1750d, 1750g, 1750x, 1750y, entry of "911" in 1704a, selection 1750r of 1704c in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17G</figref>) that includes selection of the respective number for text-based communication: in accordance with a determination that the set of alternative communication criteria is met (and, in some embodiments, that no terrestrial communication network is available), the computer system displays an option (e.g., 1704b and/or 1706d)a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) to initiate a process for communicating with an emergency service. In some embodiments, in response to a request to send a message to an emergency number or to search for an emergency number (e.g., to start a new conversation or continue a previous conversation), the computer system initiates the process for communicating with an emergency service or displays an option to initiate the process for communicating with an emergency service. In some embodiments, if a user selects 911 as a recipient of a text message when the respective communication network is not available, the computer system displays an option to initiate the process for sending a message to the emergency service. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of the option to initiate the process for sending a message to the emergency service, the computer system displays a set of user interfaces for generating and/or sending a message to the emergency service (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020">FIGS. 6M-6S</figref>) and/or for aligning and/or connecting the computer system with the alternative communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043">FIGS. 9C-9P</figref>). In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of the option to initiate the process for sending a message to the emergency service, the computer system displays a messaging interface (e.g., of a messaging application) for sending a message to the emergency service. In some embodiments, if a user selects 911 as a recipient of a text message when the respective communication network is not available, the computer system automatically (e.g., without displaying the option to initiate the process for sending a message to the emergency service) displays: a set of user interfaces for generating and/or sending a message to the emergency service (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020">FIGS. 6M-6S</figref>); a set of user interfaces for aligning and/or connecting the computer system with the alternative communication network (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043">FIGS. 9C-9P</figref>); and/or a messaging interface (e.g., of a messaging application) for sending a message to the emergency service. Displaying an option to initiate a process for communicating with an emergency service in accordance with a determination that the set of alternative communication criteria is met provides the user with feedback about the ability to communicate in an emergency and provides the user with a quick an efficient way of communicating in an emergency without cluttering the user interface under non-emergency circumstances, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about the communication capability of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0636In some embodiments, in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes selection of the respective number for text-based communication: in accordance with a determination that the respective communication network is available, the computer system displays an option (e.g., 1704b in <figref idref="f0088">FIG. 17C</figref>, 1710a, 1710b, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) to initiate a process for communicating with the emergency service via the respective communication network (e.g., a process for calling and/or sending a text message to the emergency service). Displaying an option to initiate a process for communicating with the emergency service via the respective communication network in accordance with a determination that the respective communication network is available provides the user with feedback about the ability to communicate in an emergency and enables the user to more quickly and easily communicate with the emergency service, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about the communication capability of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0637In some embodiments, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1750d and/or 1750r) that includes a request to display a message conversation with the respective number (e.g., a user interface of a messaging application that includes a message conversation between a user associated with the computer system and the respective number, where the message conversation includes one or more messages between the user associated with the computer system and the respective number); in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to display the message conversation with the respective number, the computer system displays the message conversation with the respective number (e.g., 1706 in <figref idref="f0090">FIG. 17H</figref> and/or 1712a in <figref idref="f0091">FIG. 17I</figref>); and while displaying the message conversation with the respective number: in accordance with a determination that a set of message communication criteria is met (e.g., the set of alternative communication criteria), wherein the set of message communication criteria includes a criterion that is met when the respective communication network is not available (or, in some embodiments, when no terrestrial communication network is available), the computer system displays an option (e.g., 1706d, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) to connect to the alternative communication network (and/or, in some embodiments, an option to initiate a process for connecting to the alternative communication network). Displaying an option to connect to the alternative communication network while displaying the message conversation with the respective number and in accordance with a determination that a set of message communication criteria is met provides the user with provides the user with feedback about the ability to communicate in an emergency and a quick and efficient means for connecting to the alternative communication network without navigating the user interface when the option is likely to be needed and without cluttering the user interface when the option is not needed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Feedback about the communication capability of the computer system that enables the computer system to be more quickly and efficiently controlled is particularly important in situations where the user is responding to an emergency or stressful situation.

0638In some embodiments, displaying the option to connect to the alternative communication network in accordance with the determination that the set of message communication criteria is met occurs in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to display a message conversation with the respective number (e.g., display 1706d when 1706 and/or 1712 is displayed) (e.g., if the respective communication network is not available, the computer system displays the option to connect to the alternative communication network when the message conversation is displayed). Displaying the option to connect to the alternative communication network in response to detecting the request to display a message conversation with the respective number enables the computer system to display the option when the message conversation is displayed without requiring the user to navigate the user interface and without cluttering the user interface when the option is not needed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0639In some embodiments, displaying the option to connect to the alternative communication network in accordance with the determination that the set of message communication criteria is met occurs in response to detecting a set of one or more inputs that includes a request to send a message to the respective number (e.g., display 1706d when 1706c and/or 1712c is selected) (e.g., to send a new message in the message conversation) (e.g., if the respective communication network is not available, the computer system displays the option to connect to the alternative communication network in response to receiving a request to send a text message to the respective number in the message conversation). Displaying the option to connect to the alternative communication network in response to detecting the request to send a message to the respective number enables the computer system to avoid displaying the option until the user indicates an intent to send a message and without requiring the user to navigate the user interface for an option to connect to the alternative communication network, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0640In some embodiments, outputting the prompt (e.g., 1704b and/or 1706d) includes displaying the prompt in a user interface of a messaging application (e.g., 1704, 1712, an application that provides user interfaces for generating and/or sending text messages and/or for displaying message conversations between two or more participants of a message conversation). Displaying the prompt in a user interface of a messaging application automatically informs the user that communication with the respective number can be performed via an alternative communication network in a context in which the user has indicated an intent to send a communication, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0641Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1800 (e.g., <figref idref="f0097">FIG. 18</figref>) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below and above. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 2000, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 1800. For example, initiating a communication according to method 1800 can initiate display of the sets of option in method 800. For example, initiating a communication according to method 1800 can initiate display of the alignment element in method 1000. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

By displaying emergency communication object 1906 in a prominent position, computer system 600 prompts the user to use the alternative communication network test mode, suggests the alternative communication network test mode to the user, and/or provides emergency communication object 1906 as a tip to notify the user that the alternative communication network test mode is available. In some embodiments, emergency communication object 1906 is displayed in a different position in emergency settings user interface 1910 (e.g., further from the top, at or near the middle, and/or towards the bottom of emergency settings user interface 1910). In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays emergency communication object 1906 overlaid on or at or near the top of user interface 1904 shown in <figref idref="f0099">FIG. 19C</figref> to prompt the user to use the alternative communication network test mode, suggest the alternative communication network test mode to the user, and/or provide emergency communication object 1906 as a tip to notify the user that the alternative communication network test mode is available.

0648In <figref idref="f0100">FIG. 19E</figref>, computer system 600 detects selection 1950e of demo option 1906b (e.g., a tap on demo option 1906b and/or other input selecting demo option 1906b). In response to detecting selection 1950e of demo option 1906b, computer system 600 displays tutorial user interface 1912 shown in <figref idref="f0101">FIG. 19F</figref>. Tutorial user interface 1912 includes text (e.g., 1912b), graphics (e.g., 1912a), animations, demonstrations, and/or other information about the emergency communication capability and/or the alternative communication network test mode.

0649In <figref idref="f0100">FIG. 19E</figref>, tutorial user interface includes next button 1912c and computer system 600 detects selection 1950f of next button 1912c (e.g., a tap on next button 1912c and/or other input selecting next button 1912c). In response to detecting selection 1950f of next button 1912c, computer system 600 displays notification 1914 shown in <figref idref="f0101">FIG. 19G</figref>. Notification 1914 includes prompt 1914a (e.g., "Temporarily turn off cellular to test satellite connection"), which indicates that a cellular communication capability of computer system 600 is disabled during the alternative communication network test mode and prompts a user to turn off the cellular communication capability (e.g., to test a satellite connection). Notification 1914 includes turn off option 1914b and cancel option 1914. In response to detecting selection of cancel option 1914c, computer system 600 ceases display of notification 1914 and forgoes turning off the cellular communication capability (e.g., keeps the cellular communication capability enabled and/or turned on).

0650In <figref idref="f0101">FIG. 19G</figref>, computer system 600 detects selection 1950g of turn off option 1914b. In response to detecting selection 1950g of turn off option 1914b, computer system 600 turns off the cellular communication capability (e.g., as indicated by network indicator 607) and displays demo reporting interface 1916 shown in <figref idref="f0102">FIG. 19H</figref>. Demo reporting interface 1916 is similar to reporting interface 602M (e.g., shown in <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>) displayed in response to, e.g., selection of text via satellite communication button 604G (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>). For example, demo reporting interface 1916 includes a set of options 1916a corresponding to information for a test report to be sent in the alternative communication network test mode.

0651In contrast to reporting interface 602M (and other reporting interfaces displayed for generating a report as described with reference to, e.g., <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref>), demo reporting interface 1916 includes demo notification 1918 (e.g., at the top of demo reporting interface 1916) to inform the user that the alternative communication network test mode is activated and that demo reporting interface 1916 is for demonstration and/or test purposes and not for reporting a real emergency (e.g., "Emergency SOS Demo: This is not a real emergency"). In some embodiments, demo notification 1918 is persistently displayed while computer system 600 is in the alternative communication network test mode to constantly remind the user that the user interfaces are for demonstration and/or test purposes.

0652<figref idref="f0102">FIG. 19H</figref> shows satellite 1975, which indicates that computer system 600 is capable of connecting to a satellite for communication in the alternative communication network test mode. In <figref idref="f0102">FIG. 19H</figref>, there is a blank space between computer system 600 and satellite 1975, which indicates that computer system 600 is not connected to satellite 1975.

0653As shown in <figref idref="f0102">FIG. 19H</figref>, computer system 600 detects selection 1950h of option 1916a1, which corresponds to a hypothetical emergency in which a person is lost or trapped. In response to selection 1950h of option 1916a1, computer system 600 displays demo reporting interface 1917, which includes another set of options 1917a corresponding to further information about the hypothetical emergency, as shown in <figref idref="f0102">FIG. 19H1</figref>. In response to selection 1950p of multiple people option 1917a1, computer system 600 displays summary interface 1919 shown in <figref idref="f0103">FIG. 19H2</figref>, which includes summary 1919a of a demo report, timer 1919b, and send option 1919c. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays options to generate and send a demo report analogous to the options and user interfaces described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref>. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0102">FIGS. 19H, 19H1</figref>, and <figref idref="f0103">19H2</figref>, computer system 600 maintains display of demo notification 1918 while displaying the options for generating and sending the demo report in the alternative communication network test mode.

0654After transmission of a demo report is initiated (e.g., in response to selection 1950q of send option 1919c, or in response to expiration of timer 1919b), computer system 600 displays alignment interface 1922 (e.g., similar to alignment interface 902F and/or alignment interface 902G) and continues to display demo notification 1918, as shown in <figref idref="f0103">FIG. 19I</figref>. Alignment interface 1922 includes graphical element 1922a, connection status indicator 1922b, and connection instructions 1922c. Graphical element 1922a provides a graphical indication of a status of an alignment between computer system 600 and satellite 1975 (e.g., similar to or the same as graphical element 931). In <figref idref="f0103">FIG. 19I</figref>, graphical element 1922a indicates that computer system 600 is not aligned with a satellite and that computer system 600 needs to be turned to the left to find a satellite. Connection status indicator 1922b provides a textual indication of the status of a connection between computer system 600 and satellite 1975. In <figref idref="f0103">FIG. 19I</figref>, connection status indicator 1922b indicates that computer system 600 is looking for a signal with satellite 1975. Connection instructions 1922c provide instructions for aligning and/or connecting computer system 600 with satellite 1975. In <figref idref="f0103">FIG. 19I</figref>, connection instructions 1922c prompt the user to turn left to find satellite 1975.

0655Turning to <figref idref="f0104">FIG. 19J</figref>, computer system 600 is connected to satellite 1975 (e.g., was turned left to align with satellite 1975 and established a communication connection) as indicated by the two-way arrow between computer system 600 and satellite 1975. Graphical element 1922a and connection status indicator 1922b (e.g., "Connected") indicate that computer system 600 is connected to satellite 1975. In <figref idref="f0104">FIG. 19J</figref>, connection instructions 1922c instruct the user to keep pointing computer system 600 at satellite 1975. Since computer system 600 is connected to satellite 1975 in <figref idref="f0104">FIG. 19J</figref>, alignment interface 1922 includes opening messages option 1922d to indicate that computer system is opening a messaging application (e.g., automatically, without further user input). In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 1950r of opening messages option 1922d, computer system 600 opens the messaging application (e.g., before the messaging application is automatically displayed).

0656In some embodiments, computer system 600 updates alignment interface 1922, including graphical element 1922a, connection status indicator 1922b, and connection instructions 1922c, based on the alignment and/or connection status of computer system 600, as described with respect to alignment interfaces 902C, 902D, 902E, 902F, 902G, 902H, 902I, 902J, 9020, 90201, and/or 902P shown in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref> and <figref idref="f0042 f0043">9O-9P</figref>, and/or method 1000.

0657Turning to <figref idref="f0104">FIG. 19K</figref>, computer system 600 displays messaging interface 1924 and maintains display of demo notification 1918. In some embodiments, messaging interface 1924 is similar to messaging interface 902K, 902L, 902M, and/or 902N. In <figref idref="f0104">FIG. 19K</figref>, messaging interface 1924 displays demo message 1924a, which includes a summary of a demo report sent via a satellite communication network in the alternative communication network test mode based on the options selected in demo reporting interface 1916 and/or other options selected while generating the report (e.g., as described with reference to <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref> and/or method 800).

0658Messaging interface 1924 includes message entry field 1924b for generating a message, send option 1924c for sending a generated message, and demo indicator 1924d, which indicates that the messages sent and/or received via messaging user interface 1924 are an example conversation with emergency services.

0659In <figref idref="f0104">FIG. 19K</figref>, computer system 600 displays banner 926 according to the techniques described with reference to <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref> (e.g., based on the alignment of computer system 600 and satellite 1975 and/or the status of the message between computer system 600 and satellite 1975).

0660Turning to <figref idref="f0105">FIG. 19L</figref>, computer system 600 has received demo response 1924e via satellite communication from a demo communication service (e.g., a communication service to which demo report 1924a was sent). Demo response 1924e include an indication that demo response 1924e is an example response for testing purposes (e.g., "Emergency services response example"). Since computer system 600 is still in the alternative communication network test mode, computer system 600 continues to display demo notification 1918.

0661In <figref idref="f0105">FIG. 19L</figref>, a user has entered a demo message into message entry field 1924b (e.g., via inputs 1950s on soft keyboard 1924g) and computer system 600 detects selection 1950i (e.g., a tap and/or other selection input) of send option 1924c. As shown in <figref idref="f0105">FIG. 19M</figref>, in response to detecting selection 1950i of send option 1924c, computer system 600 sends a via satellite communication with the text entered into message entry field 1924b, and message 1924f is added to the conversation, e.g., in message conversation region 1924h of messaging interface 1924. Banner 926 indicates that computer system 600 is sending the message and instructs the user to keep pointing computer system 600 at satellite 1975.

0662In <figref idref="f0105">FIG. 19M</figref>, computer system 600 detects a request to exit the alternative communication network test mode. In some embodiments, the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode includes a press (e.g., 1950k) of a physical button (e.g., 617a, 617b, and/or 617c), selection (e.g., 1950j, a tap, and/or other selection input) of end option 1920, and/or a request (e.g., 1950l, such as tap and/or swipe gesture at a predetermined location of messaging interface 1924) to display a home screen.

0663In response to detecting the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode, computer system 600 displays confirmation prompt 1926 (e.g., a pop-up object, a user interface, and/or a notification) and shades messaging interface 1924, as shown in <figref idref="f0106">FIG. 19N</figref>. In response to detecting a request to remain in the alternative communication network test mode (e.g., input 1950m, such as a tap or other input that is not directed to confirmation prompt 1926), computer system 600 removes confirmation prompt 1926 and displays messaging interface 1924 (e.g., without shading).

0664Confirmation prompt 1926 includes indication 1926a that the alternative communication network test mode has ended and that the cellular capability and Wi-Fi capability of computer system 600 will be enabled (e.g., turned on). In some embodiments, Wi-Fi capability of computer system 600 is not turned off during the alternative communication network test mode and, in such embodiments, confirmation prompt 1926 does not indicate that Wi-Fi capability of computer system 600 will be enabled.

0665Confirmation prompt 1926 includes confirmation option 1926b. In response to detecting selection 1950n (e.g., a tap and/or other selection input) of confirmation option 1926b, computer system 600 exits the alternative communication network test mode, displays, e.g., user interface 1928, and enables the cellular capability of computer system 600, as indicated by network indicator 607, as shown in <figref idref="f0106">FIG. 19O</figref>.

0666<figref idref="f0107">FIG. 20</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating a method for testing an alternative communication network using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. Method 2000 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 900, 1100, 1300A, 1300B, 1500A, 1500B, 1500C, a smartphone, smartwatch, laptop computer, desktop computer, and/or tablet computer) that is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 601, 901, 1106, 1302A, 1302B, 1502A, 1502B, 1502C, a display controller, a display device, a monitor, and/or a touch-sensitive display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., 601, 901, 617a, 617b, 617c, a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, a keyboard, a mouse, a camera, a rotatable input mechanism, and/or a microphone), where the computer system is configured to communicate via an alternative communication network (e.g., a non-terrestrial communication network, such as a satellite communication network) while a respective communication network (e.g., a terrestrial communication network, such as a cellular communication network or a Wi-Fi network) is not available (e.g., while no terrestrial communication network is available). In some embodiments, the computer system is configured to communicate via the alternative communication network only when the respective communication network is not available (e.g., the capability to communicate via the respective communication network is disabled and/or a connection with the respective communication network sufficient for communication cannot be established). Some operations in method 2000 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0667As described below, method 2000 provides an intuitive way for testing an alternative communication network. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for testing an alternative communication network, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to test an alternative communication network faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0668While a capability of the computer system to communicate via (and/or to connect to) the respective communication network is enabled (e.g., Wi-Fi and/or cellular communication capability is enabled), the computer system detects (2002), via the one or more input devices, a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1950a, 1950b, 1950c, 1950o, 1950d, 1950e, 1950f, 1950g, a contact and/or touch gesture on a touch-sensitive surface, an air gesture, a mouse click, a key press, a button press, and/or a voice command) corresponding to a request to activate an alternative communication network test mode (e.g., an operational mode of the computer system that simulates a process for connecting to and/or sending a communication via an alternative communication network). In some embodiments, the computer system is capable of sending a communication via the alternative communication network while in the alternative communication network test mode. In some embodiments, the computer system is not capable of sending a communication via the alternative communication network (e.g., a capability to communicate via the alternative communication network is disabled) while in the alternative communication network test mode. In some embodiments, while the computer system is operating in the alternative communication network test mode, the computer system is configured to send communications to a recipient (e.g., a non-emergency services recipient and/or a test recipient) via the alternative communication network that the computer system is not configured to send communications to via the alternative communication network when the computer system is not operating in the alternative communication network test mode.

0669In response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to activate the alternative communication network test mode, the computer system activates (2004) the alternative communication network test mode (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0101">FIG. 19F, FIG. 19G</figref>, or <figref idref="f0102">FIG. 19H</figref>). While the alternative communication network test mode is activated (e.g., while the computer system is operating in the alternative communication network test mode), the computer system displays (2006), via the display generation component, a set of user interfaces (e.g., 1916, 1922, 926, and/or 1924). Activating an alternative communication network test mode and displaying a set of user interfaces provides the user with a means for testing a feature that is only appropriate to use in an emergency under non-emergency circumstances so that the user knows how to use the feature in an emergency with fewer errors (e.g., so that the user does not have to learn how to use the feature during an actual emergency), which enables the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0670In some embodiments, activating the alternative communication network test mode includes disabling a capability of the computer system to communicate via (and/or, in some embodiments, to connect to) the respective communication network (e.g., turn off Wi-Fi and/or cellular capability) (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0101">FIGS. 19G</figref> and <figref idref="f0102">19H</figref>). Disabling a capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network enables the computer system to more accurately simulate a process of connecting to and/or communicating via the alternative communication network, disables a communication antenna, reduces electromagnetic interference with the alternative communication network, and/or reduces the amount of emitted energy, which reduces power usage and improves battery life.

0671In some embodiments, displaying the set of user interfaces includes displaying (e.g., the set of user interfaces includes): a user interface (e.g., 1922, 1924, 926, and/or a connection assistant user interface) that includes an indication (e.g., a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph; and/or 1922a, 1922b, 908C, 908D, 908E, 908F, 908G, 908H, 908I, 908J, 9080, 90801, 908P, 926, and/or 931) of a status of a connection with the alternative communication network and instructions (e.g., 1922a, 1922c, 908C, 908D, 908E, 908F, 908G, 908H, 908I, 908J, 9080, 90801, 908P, 926, and/or 931) for establishing a connection (or, in some embodiments, maintaining a connection) with the alternative communication network; and a user interface (e.g., 1916, 602M, 602N, 6020, 602P, 602Q, 602R, 602S, 602T, 602U, 602V, and/or 602W) for generating a communication (e.g., 1924a, a text message, and/or an audio message) that is capable of being sent via the alternative communication network while the alternative communication network test mode is activated. In some embodiments, the user interface that includes the indication of a status of a connection with the alternative communication network and instructions for establishing a connection with the alternative communication network includes the user interfaces and/or features described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044">FIGS. 9C-9Q</figref> and method 1000. In some embodiments, the user interface for generating the communication includes the user interfaces, options, and/or operations described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024">FIGS. 6M-6W</figref> and/or method 800. Displaying a user interface that includes an indication of a status of a connection with alternative communication network allows the user to resolve issues (e.g., misalignment and/or obstruction) that prevent the computer system from connecting to the alternative communication network quickly and efficiently with fewer inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Displaying a user interface for generating a communication that is capable of being sent via the alternative communication network enables the computer system to provide options that are optimal (e.g., require limited bandwidth) for communicating via the alternative communication network, to reduce the number of inputs required to generate a message (e.g., without using a keyboard), and to guide a user through the process for communicating via the alternative communication network, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

0672In some embodiments, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1950h) directed to the user interface for generating the communication (e.g., selection of one or more options that correspond to information to include in the communication); and after (e.g., in response to) detecting the set of one or more inputs directed to the user interface for generating the communication, the computer system sends the communication (e.g., 1924a) via the alternative communication network, wherein the communication includes content that is based on the set of one or more inputs directed to the user interface for generating the communication (e.g., 1924a is based on 1950h). In some embodiments, the content of the communication includes a text message composed by a user (e.g., using a keyboard). In some embodiments, the content of the communication includes a representation of responses by the user to questions and/or prompts (e.g., a questionnaire, 1916a, 604M, 604N, 6040, 604P, and/or 604Q) in the user interface for generating the communication (e.g., 1916, 602M, 602N, 6020, 602P, and/or 602Q). Sending a communication via the alternative communication network that includes content based on the set of one or more inputs directed to the user interface for generating the communication enables a user to quickly and efficiently generate a message, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0673In some embodiments, activating the alternative communication network test mode simulates an emergency communication process (e.g., a low-bandwidth communication process that can be used to communicate with emergency services when a higher-bandwidth communication network is not available; e.g., as indicated by 1918). Simulating an emergency communication process enables a user to test an emergency communication feature under non-emergency circumstances so that the user can use the computer system more quickly and efficiently in emergency situations, which reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system.

0674In some embodiments, the alternative communication network is a non-terrestrial communication network (e.g., a satellite communication network). Activating a mode for testing communication via a non-terrestrial communication network enables the computer system to provide user interfaces that are not required for communication via a terrestrial communication network, such as interfaces for aligning with the non-terrestrial communication network and generating a low-bandwidth message so that the user can use the computer system more quickly and efficiently in emergency situations, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, reduces power usage, and improves battery life of the computer system.

0675In some embodiments, displaying the set of user interfaces includes displaying an indication (e.g., 1922a, 931, 926, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of an alignment of the computer system with one or more elements (e.g., satellites, transmitters, and/or receivers) of the non-terrestrial communication network. Displaying an indication of an alignment of the computer system with one or more elements of the non-terrestrial communication network enables the user to align the computer system with the one or more elements of the non-terrestrial communication network with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0676In some embodiments, displaying the set of user interfaces includes outputting an indication (e.g., 1914, 1914a, a graphical indication, sound, haptic output, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that a capability of the computer system to communicate via (and/or, in some embodiments, to connect to) the respective communication network will be disabled (e.g., Wi-Fi and/or cellular capability will be turned off) while the alternative communication network test mode is activated (e.g., that a cellular antenna of the computer system will be turned off during the alternative communication network test mode). Outputting an indication that a capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network will be disabled while the alternative communication network test mode is activated notifies the user that a potentially primary means of communication will not be available and that there may be missed communications during the test mode (e.g., communication that require the respective communication network to be received), which provides improved feedback to the user.

0677In some embodiments, while the alternative communication network test mode is activated, the computer system sends a communication (e.g., 1924a) to a non-emergency entity via the alternative communication network (e.g., an entity that is different from the entity to which a communication is sent when performing the actual process that is simulated by the alternative communication network test mode). In some embodiments, the computer system does not communicate, and/or is not capable of communicating, with emergency services while the alternative communication network test mode is activated. Sending a communication to a non-emergency entity via the alternative communication network enables the computer system to realistically simulate communication via the alternative communication network and for the user to test communicating via the alternative communication network quickly and efficiently without contacting an emergency service and preventing the emergency service from attending to actual emergency messages, which enables the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0678In some embodiments, while the alternative communication network test mode is activated and after sending the communication to the non-emergency entity via the alternative communication network, the computer system receives a communication (e.g., 1924b) from the non-emergency entity via the alternative communication network (e.g., in response to the communication that was sent to the non-emergency entity). Receiving a communication from the non-emergency entity via the alternative communication network provides quick feedback to the user that communication via the alternative communication network is successful without burdening the emergency service and preventing the emergency service from attending to actual emergency messages, which enables the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0679ISE the communication from the non-emergency entity includes predetermined content (e.g., a canned response, a predetermined message, and/or content that is not based on the communication that was sent to the non-emergency entity; e.g., 1924b includes predetermined content). In some embodiments, a communication from an emergency service includes a custom response with content that is responsive to the emergency and/or the content of the message sent to the emergency service. Receiving a communication with predetermined content enables the computer system to indicate to the user that the communication was for test purposes (e.g., that the communication was not sent to an emergency service) and to provide quick feedback to the user that communication via the alternative communication network is successful without burdening the emergency service and preventing the emergency service from attending to actual emergency messages, and allow the computer system to, which enables the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0680In some embodiments, while the alternative communication network test mode is activated, communication with (and/or, in some embodiments, connection to) the alternative communication network is restricted in a manner in which communication with (and/or, in some embodiments, connection to) the alternative communication network is restricted when the alternative communication network test mode is not activated (e.g., during the actual process that is simulated by the alternative communication network test mode; e.g., computer system 600 is restricted in a same manner in <figref idref="f0102 f0103 f0104 f0105">FIGS. 19H-19M</figref> as in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024">FIGS. 6M-6W</figref> and/or 9B-9M). In some embodiments, while the alternative communication network test mode is activated, the computer system cannot send a message via the alternative communication network unless the computer system is aligned with and connected to one or more satellites. Restricting communication with the alternative communication network in a manner in which communication with the alternative communication network is restricted when the alternative communication network test mode is not activated enables the computer system to more accurately simulate the process for connecting to and/or communicating via the alternative communication network in an emergency so that the user can use the computer system more quickly and efficiently in emergency situations, which reduces power usage and improves battery life.

0681In some embodiments, the computer system displays a settings user interface (e.g., 1908 and/or 1910) that includes options (e.g., selectable options, icons, buttons, affordances, and/or user-interactive graphical user interface objects; e.g., the list of options in FIG. 1908 and/or the options in 1910 such as "Call with Hold" and "Call with 5 Presses") for controlling one or more settings of the computer system and an option (e.g., 1906 and/or 1906b) for initiating activation of (e.g., activating) the alternative communication network test mode, wherein the set of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to activate the alternative communication network test mode includes an input (e.g., 1950o and/or 1950e) selecting the option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of a respective option of the options for controlling one or more settings of the computer system, the computer system adjusts a respective setting of the computer system corresponding to the selected respective option. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of the option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode, the computer system initiates activation of the alternative communication network test mode. Displaying an option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode in a setting user interface informs the user of the availability of the alternative communication network test mode and provides a quick and efficient means for accessing the alternative communication network test mode, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0682In some embodiments, the computer system displays a medical ID option (e.g., 1902b, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object); the computer system detects selection (e.g., 1950c) of the medical ID option; and in response to detecting selection of the medical ID option, the computer system displays information (e.g., 1904) of a user who is associated with the computer system and an option (e.g., 1906, 1906b, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) for initiating activation of (e.g., activating) the alternative communication network test mode, wherein the set of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to activate the alternative communication network test mode includes an input (e.g., 1950o and/or 1950e) selecting the option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode. In some embodiments, the information of the user includes the user's name, the user's age, the user's weight, the user's height, allergies, blood type, medical conditions, a designated contact (e.g., a name of an emergency contact), and/or contact information (e.g., a phone number) of the designated contact. Displaying an option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode in response to detecting selection of the medical ID option informs the user of the availability of the alternative communication network test mode in a relevant location and provides a quick and efficient means for accessing the alternative communication network test mode, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0683In some embodiments, the computer system displays a prompt (e.g., 1906) that includes a suggestion (e.g., 1906a, a tip and/or a notice that a feature is available) related to the alternative communication network test mode, wherein the prompt includes an option (e.g., 1906b, a selectable option, an icon, a button, an affordance, and/or a user-interactive graphical user interface object) for initiating activation of (e.g., activating) the alternative communication network test mode, wherein the set of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to activate the alternative communication network test mode includes an input (e.g., 1950o and/or 1950e) selecting the option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode. Displaying an option for initiating activation of the alternative communication network test mode in a prompt that includes a suggestion relate to the alternative communication network test mode informs the user of the availability of the alternative communication network test mode and provides a quick and efficient means for accessing the alternative communication network test mode, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0684In some embodiments, before activating the alternative communication test mode (and, in some embodiments, in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to activate the alternative communication network test mode), the computer system displays a tutorial (e.g., 1912, 1912a, and/or 1912b) that includes information (e.g., instructions and/or a demonstration) about the alternative communication network test mode (and/or, in some embodiments, information about the actual process that is simulated by the alternative communication network test mode). In some embodiments, activating the alternative communication network test mode includes displaying the tutorial, e.g., in an initial user interface upon activating the alternative communication network test mode. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the tutorial in an initial user interface of the set of user interfaces. Displaying a tutorial that includes information about the alternative communication network test mode before activating the alternative communication test mode provides the user with information about the test mode before the user attempts to use the test mode and enables the user to use the test mode with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0685In some embodiments, while the alternative communication network test mode is activated, the computer system displays an indication (e.g., 1918, a graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) that the alternative communication network test mode is activated that is not displayed during a process of communicating via (and/or, in some embodiments, connecting to) the alternative communication network when the alternative communication network test mode is not activated (e.g., during the actual process that is simulated by the alternative communication network test mode; e.g., 1918 is not displayed in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024">FIGS. 6M-6W</figref> and/or 9B-9Q). In some embodiments, the computer system maintains display of the indication that the alternative communication network test mode is activated until the alternative communication network test mode is deactivated (e.g., the indication is persistent). Displaying an indication that the alternative communication network test mode is activated informs the user about the state of the computer system and prevents the user from providing inputs that are not relevant to the state of the computer system, which provides improved visual feedback to the user and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0686In some embodiments, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1950j, 1950k, 1950l, and/or 1950n) that includes a request to exit (e.g., end, close, disable, and/or deactivate) the alternative communication network test mode; and in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode, the computer system exits (e.g., ending, closing, disabling, and/or deactivating) the alternative communication network test mode (e.g., as shown in <figref idref="f0106">FIG. 19N</figref> and/or <figref idref="f0106">FIG. 19O</figref>), including enabling (e.g., turning on) a capability of the computer system to communicate via (and/or, in some embodiments, to connect to) the respective communication network (e.g., turn on Wi-Fi and/or cellular capability). Enabling the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network in response to detecting the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode allows the user to automatically resume communication via the respective communication network without having to manually enable the capability to communicate via the respective communication network, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Enabling the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network in response to detecting the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode enables the computer system to automatically enable (or re-enable) the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network so that the computer system can send and receive information using the respective communication network (e.g., if a user has disabled the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network and does not (or forgets to) turn on the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network), which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Enabling the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network in response to detecting the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode enables the computer system to automatically operate in (or switch to) a lower power mode (e.g., if a user has enabled the computer system to operate in a higher power mode in the alternative communication network test mode and does not (or forgets to) turn off the higher power mode), which reduces power usage and improves battery life.

0687In some embodiments, the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode includes a request (e.g., 1950j and/or 1950l) to close an application (and/or, in some embodiments, a user interface of an application) that provides (e.g., runs) the alternative communication network test mode (e.g., the computer system exits the alternative communication network test mode in response to detecting a request to close the application). Exiting the alternative communication network test mode in response to a request to close an application that provides the alternative communication network test mode provides a quick and efficient method for ending the alternative communication network test mode, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Exiting the alternative communication network test mode in response to a request to close an application that provides the alternative communication network test mode enables the computer system to automatically enable (or re-enable) the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network so that the computer system can send and receive information using the respective communication network (e.g., if a user has disabled the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network and does not (or forgets to) turn on the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network), which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Exiting the alternative communication network test mode in response to a request to close an application that provides the alternative communication network test mode enables the computer system to automatically operate in (or switch to) a lower power mode (e.g., if a user has enabled the computer system to operate in a higher power mode in the alternative communication network test mode and does not (or forgets to) turn off the higher power mode), which reduces power usage and improves battery life.

0688In some embodiments, the set of one or more inputs that includes the request to exit the alternative communication network test mode includes a request (e.g., 1950k) to lock a user interface of the computer system (and/or, in some embodiments, a request to put the computer system in a sleep state, low-power state, and/or wake state) (e.g., the computer system exits the alternative communication network test mode in response to detecting a request to lock a user interface of the computer system). Exiting the alternative communication network test mode in response to a request to lock a user interface of the computer system provides a quick and efficient method for ending the alternative communication network test mode without additional user inputs, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Exiting the alternative communication network test mode in response to a request to lock a user interface of the computer system enables the computer system to automatically enable (or re-enable) the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network so that the computer system can send and receive information using the respective communication network (e.g., if a user has disabled the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network and does not (or forgets to) turn on the capability of the computer system to communicate via the respective communication network), which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Exiting the alternative communication network test mode in response to a request to lock a user interface of the computer system enables the computer system to automatically operate in (or switch to) a lower power mode (e.g., if a user has enabled the computer system to operate in a higher power mode in the alternative communication network test mode and does not (or forgets to) turn off the higher power mode), which reduces power usage and improves battery life.

0689Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2000 (e.g., <figref idref="f0107">FIG. 20</figref>) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below and above. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, and/or 2200 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 2000. For example, the alternative communication network test mode in method 2000 can simulate method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, and/or 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

0690<figref idref="f0108 f0109 f0110 f0111 f0112 f0113 f0114">FIGS. 21A-21L</figref> illustrate exemplary user interfaces for providing a user interface object corresponding to a process, in accordance with some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the process associated with the user interface object includes one or more of the methods described with reference to <figref idref="f0027">FIGS. 7</figref>, <figref idref="f0028">8</figref>, and/or 10 (e.g., methods 700, 800, and/or 1000).

0691In some embodiments, any of the selections, requests, and/or inputs described herein (e.g., 2150a-2150l) is or includes a touch input (e.g., a tap gesture and/or a swipe gesture). In some embodiments, any of the selections, requests, and/or inputs described herein (e.g., 2150a-2150l) is or includes a voice input (e.g., a voice command to select a user interface element or to activate a feature or perform a function, such as a feature or function associated with a user interface element). In some embodiments, any of the selections, requests, and/or inputs described herein (e.g., 2150a-2150l) is or includes an air gesture (e.g., an air gesture to select a user interface element or to activate a feature or perform a function, such as a feature or function associated with a user interface element). In some embodiments, any of the selections, requests, and/or inputs described herein (e.g., 2150a-2150l) is or includes activation (e.g., a press, a rotation, and/or a movement) of a hardware device (e.g., a button, a rotatable input mechanism, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, a mouse button, a button of a remote control, and/or a joystick). In some embodiments, any of the user interface elements described as being selected herein (e.g., an icon, affordance, button, and/or selectable option) is selected by activating a hardware device while the user interface element is in focus (e.g., highlighted, bolded, outlined, visually distinguished from other user interface elements, and/or located at or near a cursor).

0692<figref idref="f0108">FIG. 21A</figref> illustrates computer system 600 described above in, e.g., <figref idref="f0009">FIG. 6A</figref>. In <figref idref="f0108">FIG. 21A</figref>, computer system 600 displays call management interface 602G, described in <figref idref="f0013">FIG. 6G</figref>, and detects selection 2150a (e.g., a tap or other selection input) of text via satellite communication button 604G. In response to detecting selection of text via satellite communication button 604G, computer system 600 initiates a process for sending a communication via satellite communication, such as, e.g., process 700, 800, and/or 1000.

0693In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication via satellite communication initiated in response to detecting selection of text via satellite communication button 604G includes displaying one or more reporting interfaces (e.g., 602M, 602N, 6020, 602P, and/or 602Q), such as reporting interface 602M illustrated in <figref idref="f0108">FIG. 21B</figref> and described with reference to <figref idref="f0017">FIG. 6M</figref>. While displaying reporting interface 602M, computer system 600 detects a request to cease display of reporting interface 602M (e.g., a request to display a system user interface such as a lock screen, a wake screen, or a home screen). In <figref idref="f0108">FIG. 21B</figref>, input 2150b (e.g., a press of a physical button) corresponds to a request to lock a user interface of computer system 600, and input 2150c (e.g., a tap, an upward swipe starting from a predefined portion of display 601 and/or interface 602N, and/or other input) corresponds to a request to display a home screen (e.g., 1304 described in <figref idref="f0055">FIG. 13A</figref>). In some embodiments, in response to detecting input 2150c, computer system 600 displays home screen 2108 and activity user interface object 2106 as described in greater detail with reference to <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21D</figref>.

0694In response to detecting input 2150b, computer system 600 locks a user interface of computer system 600, which includes turning off or dimming display 601, or displaying user interface 2102 as shown in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays user interface 2102 in response to detecting input 2150b. In some embodiments, computer system 600 turns off display 601 in response to input 2150b and then displays user interface 2102 in response to detecting further input, such as, e.g., a press of a button on computer system 600, a contact on display 601, and/or movement of computer system 600 (e.g., movement that satisfies movement criteria). In <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, user interface 2102 is a system user interface such as a lock screen or a wake screen that is displayed when computer system 600 transitions from a low-power state (e.g., when computer system 600 turns on display 601).

0695In some embodiments, computer system 600 continues to run the process for sending the communication while displaying user interface 2102 (e.g., as a background process). In <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, computer system 600 displays activity user interface object 2106 corresponding to the process for sending the communication (e.g., the activity of sending the communication) and notifications from different applications (e.g., notification 2112a of an email in an email application and notification 2112b of a message in a messaging application). In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays activity user interface object 2106 concurrently with (e.g., on or in) user interface 2102 and/or concurrently with notification 2112a and/or notification 2112b. In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, computer system 600 displays notifications in a stacked configuration (e.g., a stack of notifications that is separate from activity user interface object 2106).

0696Activity user interface object 2106 includes process indicator 2106a, process graphic 2106b, and process status indicator 2106c. Process indicator 2106a indicates the process and/or application associated with activity user interface object 2106 (e.g., the process for sending the communication). Process graphic 2106b is a graphic that indicates the process and/or application associated with activity user interface object 2106 (e.g., the process for sending the communication). Process status indicator 2106c indicates a current status or state of the process for sending the communication via satellite communication. For example, process status indicator 2106c is based on the current status or state of the process for sending the communication. In some embodiments, process graphic 2106b is based on the current status or state of the process for sending the communication. Since computer system 600 was displaying reporting interface 602N at the time of receiving input 2150b, the process for sending the communication is in a state of prompting a user to answer questions and/or provide responses for generating content of the communication. Based on the process for sending the communication being in a state of prompting a user to answer questions and/or provide responses for generating content of the communication, process status indicator 2106c includes content (e.g., text and/or graphics) that indicates that the process for sending the communication is in a state of prompting a user to answer questions and/or provide input for generating content of the communication. In the embodiment illustrated in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, process status indicator 2106c indicates that the process for sending the communication is in a state of prompting a user to answer questions and/or provide input for generating content of the communication by displaying text that prompts a user to answer questions and/or provide input to generate the content of the communication (e.g., "Answer questions to help get a faster response").

0697In some embodiments, computer system 600 does not display (e.g., ceases display of) activity user interface object 2106 when a non-system user interface (e.g., a user interface of an application, such as an email application, web browsing application, and/or messaging application) is displayed. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the displayed user interface is a respective type of user interface (e.g., a system user interface), computer system 600 displays activity user interface object 2106; and in accordance with a determination that the user interface is not the respective type of user interface, computer system 600 displays the user interface without displaying activity user interface object 2106.

0698In <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, computer system 600 detects request 2150d (e.g., an upward swipe from a predefined portion of user interface 2102 and/or other input) to unlock the user interface of computer system 600 and/or display a home screen. In response to detecting request 2150d, computer system 600 displays home screen 2108 shown in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21D</figref>. Home screen 2108 is a system user interface that includes application icons for launching, opening, and/or displaying user interfaces of corresponding applications. While displaying home screen 2108, computer system 600 displays activity user interface object 2106. Compared to <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, in which activity user interface object 2106 is displayed on user interface 2102, activity user interface object 2106 is displayed in (e.g., moved to) a different location relative to home screen 2108 (e.g., at or near the top of home screen 2108). In some embodiments, activity user interface object 2106 has the same appearance when displayed with home screen 2108 as when displayed with user interface 2102 (e.g., process indication 2106a, process graphic 2106b, and process status indicator 2106c are the same in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref> as in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21D</figref>). In some embodiments, the appearance and/or content of activity user interface object 2106 does not depend (e.g., is not based on) the user interface with which activity user interface object 2106 is displayed.

0699In <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21D</figref>, computer system 600 detects selection 2150f (e.g., a tap and/or other selection input) of activity user interface object 2106. In response to detecting selection 2150f of activity user interface object 2106, computer system 600 displays a user interface of the process for sending the communication that corresponds to the current status of the process indicated by activity user interface object 2106. For example, in response to detecting selection 2150f of activity user interface object 2106 in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21D</figref>, computer system 600 displays (e.g., returns to) reporting interface 602M since reporting interface 602M was displayed when computer system 600 detected the request to navigate away from the process for sending the communication (e.g., and the process did not advance since detecting the request to navigate away from the process), as shown in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E</figref>.

0700In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays (e.g., returns to) reporting interface 602M as shown in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E</figref> in response to detecting selection 2150e of activity user interface object 2106 in user interface 2102 of <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays (e.g., returns to) reporting interface 602M as shown in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E</figref> in response to detecting selection 2150e of activity user interface object 2106 and in accordance with a determination (e.g., via facial identification) that a user is authorized to unlock computer system 600. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 2150e of activity user interface object 2106, computer system initiates a process for unlocking a user interface of computer system 600 (e.g., via facial ID, fingerprint ID, and/or entry of a personal identification number), and displays reporting interface 602M as shown in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E</figref> once computer system 600 is unlocked.

0701After displaying reporting interface 602M in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E</figref>, computer system 600 detects one or more inputs (e.g., selection 2150j of an option in set of options 604M or selection 2150k of skip button 616) to proceed with generating the content of the communication. In some embodiments, generating the content of the communication and sending the communication is performed according to the techniques described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref>. For example, in some embodiments, in response to selection of an option in set of options 604M (e.g., selection 2150j) or selection 2150k of skip button 616, computer system 600 displays one or more additional sets of options (e.g., 604N, 604O, and/or 604P) and/or selection of additional options (e.g., 608N, 608O, and/or 608P) and then displays a summary interface according to the selected options, such as, e.g., summary interface 2109 in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E1</figref>.

0702In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication includes aligning with and/or connecting to a communication network. For example, in some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 2150a of text via satellite communication button 604G in <figref idref="f0108">FIG. 21A</figref> or after initiating transmission of the communication (e.g., in response to detecting selection 2150l of send option 2109c or expiration of timer 2109b in <figref idref="f0110">FIG. 21E1</figref>), computer system 600 provides user interfaces, prompts, and/or output for aligning with and/or connecting to a satellite communication network as described with reference to <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044 f0045">FIGS. 9C-9U</figref> and/or process 1000, such as alignment user interface 2110 shown in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21F</figref>. Alignment user interface 2110 includes alignment element 909 described with reference to, e.g., <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037">FIGS. 9C-9J</figref> and <figref idref="f0042 f0043">9O-9P</figref>.

0703While the process for sending the communication is in a state of aligning and/or connecting with the satellite communication network, computer system 600 can detect a request to cease display of the user interface of the process for sending the communication. For example, while displaying alignment user interface 2110, computer system 600 detects a request to cease display of alignment user interface 2110 (e.g., a request to display a system user interface such as a lock screen, a wake screen, or a home screen). In <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21F</figref>, input 2150h (e.g., a press of a physical button) corresponds to a request to lock a user interface of computer system 600, and input 2150h (e.g., a tap, an upward swipe starting from a predefined portion of display 601 and/or interface 2110, and/or other input) corresponds to a request to display a home screen (e.g., 1304 described in <figref idref="f0055">FIG. 13A</figref>). In some embodiments, in response to detecting input 2150h, computer system 600 displays activity user interface object 2106 as shown in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref> on home screen 2108 as shown in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21D</figref>.

0704In response to detecting input 2150g, computer system 600 locks a user interface of computer system 600, which includes turning off or dimming display 601, or displaying user interface 2102 as shown in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref>. In some embodiments, computer system 600 displays user interface 2102 in response to detecting input 2150g. In some embodiments, computer system 600 turns off display 601 in response to input 2150g and then displays user interface 2102 in response to detecting further input, such as, e.g., a press of a button on computer system 600, a contact on display 601, and/or movement of computer system 600 (e.g., movement that satisfies movement criteria). As described with reference to, e.g., <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, user interface 2102 is a system user interface such as a lock screen or a wake screen that is displayed when computer system 600 transitions from a low-power state (e.g., when computer system 600 turns on display 601).

0705In <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref>, computer system 600 displays notification 2112a, notification 2112b, and activity user interface object 2106 on user interface 2102. As described with reference to <figref idref="f0109">FIGS. 21C and 21D</figref>, the appearance of activity user interface object 2106 is based on the current status of the process for sending the communication via satellite communication. Compared to activity user interface object 2106 in <figref idref="f0109">FIGS. 21C and 21D</figref>, process indicator 2106a is the same (e.g., activity user interface object 2106 corresponds to the same process in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref> as in <figref idref="f0109">FIGS. 21C and 21D</figref>), while process graphic 2106b and process status indicator 2106c are different since the state of the process for sending the communication in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref> is different from the state of the process for sending the communication in <figref idref="f0109">FIGS. 21C and 21D</figref>.

0706In <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref>, since the process for sending the communication is in a state of aligning and/or connecting with the satellite communication network, process graphic 2106b displays a graphical element (e.g., 931) that corresponds to the state of aligning with the satellite communication network and indicates an action that a user can take to align with the satellite communication network (e.g., a curved arrow instructing to turn computer system 600 left). Similarly, since the process for sending the communication is in a state of aligning and/or connecting with the satellite communication network, process status indicator 2106c displays a connection status between computer system 600 and the satellite communication network (e.g., "Not Connected"), an action that a user can take to align with the satellite communication network (e.g., "Turn left to find satellite"), and a graphical indication (e.g., an exclamation mark inside a circle) that computer system 600 is not connected to the satellite communication network. In some embodiments, when the process for sending the communication is in a state of aligning and/or connecting with the satellite communication network, activity user interface object 2106 is (or includes the features of) banner 926 described with reference to, e.g., <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040">FIGS. 9K-9M1</figref>.

0707When the connection status of computer system 600 changes, activity user interface object 2106 updates to reflect the current connection status of computer system 600. For example, when computer system 600 is turned left as instructed in action user interface object 2106 in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref> by an amount that properly aligns computer system 600 with the satellite communication network, computer system 600 begins to establish a connection with the satellite communication network. In response to the change in the status of the process for sending the communication (e.g., the change in connection status from not being aligned to being aligned), computer system 600 updates activity user interface object 2106 as shown in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21H</figref>. In particular, computer system 600 updates process graphic 2106b to indicate that computer system 600 is properly aligned and updates process status indicator 2106c to indicate that computer system 600 is connecting (e.g., "Connecting ..."), to instruct the user to keep device pointed in the current direction (e.g., "Keep pointing at satellite to send and receive messages"), and displays a progress indicator of the progress of connecting to the satellite communication network and/or sending the communication (e.g., a ring in which the portion of the ring that is filled represents the amount of progress).

0708Turning to <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21I</figref>, computer system 600 has successfully connected to the satellite communication network (e.g., computer system 600 is connected) and the communication has been sent. In response, process status indicator 2106c indicates that computer system 600 is connected (e.g., by changing "Connecting ..." to "Connected") and updates the progress indicator to indicate that the message has been sent (e.g., the ring is completely filled or another indication of the message being sent is displayed in the user interface).

0709Turning to <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21J</figref>, computer system 600 is no longer connected to the satellite communication network because a satellite has moved out of range of computer system 600. In response, computer system 600 updates process graphic 2106b to indicate that computer system 600 is not connected and that alignment is not currently possible (e.g., process graphic 2106b does not indicate an action to align computer system 600). Computer system 600 updates process status indicator 2106c to indicate that satellite communication is not currently available (e.g., by changing "Connected" to "Service Unavailable"), to indicate the amount of time until a next satellite will be available (e.g., "Next satellite available in 4 minutes"), and to display a graphical indication of the status (e.g., an exclamation mark in an octagon or other indication of the status).

0710Turning to <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21K</figref>, computer system 600 has successfully reestablished connection to the satellite communication network. In response, computer system 600 updates (e.g., returns) process status indicator 2106c to the same state as in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21I</figref>, except without the progress indicator since no new message is being sent. In <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21K</figref>, computer system 600 has received a message from an emergency service. In some embodiments, the emergency service is the recipient of the communication, and the message from the emergency service is a response to the communication. In response to receiving the message from the emergency service, computer system 600 displays message notification 2114 on user interface 2102. For example, as shown in FIG. 2K, computer system 600 updates the stack of notifications to display message notification 2114 as a top or first notification in the stack of notifications that includes notification 2112a and/or notification 2112b. Message notification 2114 includes an indication of the application associated with the notification (e.g., an icon of a speech bubble that represents a messaging application), an indication of the sender (e.g., text "Emergency SOS" and a circle with "SOS" inside), at least a portion of the content of the message (e.g., "Hi, we have received your request"), and an indication of a time that the message was received (e.g., "now"). In some embodiments, as shown in <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21K</figref>, activity user interface object 2106 is moved (e.g., upward) in order to display message notification 2114 (e.g., activity user interface object 2106 is not removed and/or replaced by message notification 2114; and/or activity user interface object 2106 is displayed concurrently with message notification 2114). In some embodiments, computer system 600 is unlocked in response to a user aligning a sensor (e.g., a camera) with the user's face for facial recognition, a user placing a finger on a fingerprint sensor for fingerprint ID, and/or entry of a personal identification number or password.

0711In <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21K</figref>, computer system 600 detect selection 2150i (e.g., a tap or other selection input) of message notification 2114. In response to detecting selection of message notification 2114 (and, in some embodiments, input to unlock computer system 600), computer system 600 displays messaging user interface 2116 of a messaging application, as shown in <figref idref="f0114">FIG. 21L</figref>. Messaging user interface 2116 includes a message region 2116a that includes messages between a user associated with computer system 600 and the emergency service. In <figref idref="f0114">FIG. 21L</figref>, message region 2116a includes message 2116b, which includes a summary of the communication that was sent to the emergency service as a result of the process for sending the communication via satellite communication, and message 2116c received from the emergency service, which corresponds to the message associated with message notification 2114.

0712In some embodiments, while displaying messaging user interface 2116 (e.g., in response to selection 2150i), computer system 600 does not display (e.g., ceases display of) activity user interface object 2106, e.g., because messaging user interface 2116 is not a system user interface. In <figref idref="f0114">FIG. 21L</figref>, while displaying messaging user interface 2116, computer system 600 displays banner 926 described with reference to <figref idref="f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041">FIGS. 9K-9N1</figref> (e.g., instead of activity user interface object 2106).

0713<figref idref="f0115">FIG. 22</figref> is a flow diagram illustrating a method for providing a user interface object corresponding to a process using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. Method 2200 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 900, 1100, 1300A, 1300B, 1500A, 1500B, 1500C, a smartphone, smartwatch, laptop computer, desktop computer, and/or tablet computer) that is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 601, 901, 1106, 1302A, 1302B, 1502A, 1502B, 1502C, a display controller, a display device, a monitor, and/or a touch-sensitive display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., 601, 901, 1106, 1302A, 1302B, 1502A, 1502B, 1502C, 617a, 617b, 617c, a touch-sensitive surface, a touchscreen, a button, a keyboard, a mouse, a camera, a rotatable input mechanism, and/or a microphone). Some operations in method 2200 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

0714As described below, method 2200 provides an intuitive way for providing a user interface object corresponding to a process. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for providing a user interface object corresponding to a process, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to interact with a user interface object corresponding to a process faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

0715The computer system detects (2202), via the one or more input devices, a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 2150a, 616M, 612M, 613M, 608N, 610N, 608O, 608P, 608Q, 604R, 604S, 906A, 906B, a contact and/or touch gesture on a touch-sensitive surface, an air gesture, a mouse click, a key press, a button press, and/or a voice command) corresponding to a request to initiate a process for sending a communication (e.g., an emergency communication, a text message, and/or an audio message) to a respective recipient (e.g., an emergency service, a designated entity, and/or an emergency contact). In response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to initiate a process for sending a communication to the respective recipient, the computer system initiates (2204) a process for sending a communication to the respective recipient (e.g., the processes described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref>, method 800, <figref idref="f0029 f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044 f0045">FIGS. 9B-9U</figref>, and/or method 1000, or portions thereof). During the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient (e.g., while the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient is active and/or while displaying a user interface associated with (e.g., unique to and/or specific to) the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient), the computer system detects (2206), via the one or more input devices, a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 2150b, 2150c, 2150d, 2150g, and/or 2150h) corresponding to a request to display a system user interface (e.g., 2102, 2108, 1900, 1304, 1506B, 1508A, 1514A, 1524B, a user interface that is different from a user interface associated with the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient).

0716In response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to display a system user interface, the computer system displays (2208) (e.g., concurrently displaying), via the display generation component, the system user interface (e.g., a user interface of an operating system, such as a lock screen, wake screen, home screen, notification center, or other system user interface rather than an application for sending messages or another application) and a user interface object (e.g., 2106) corresponding to the communication (e.g., corresponding to a process for sending the communication) (e.g., a notification, text, graphic, icon, button, affordance, banner, pop-up window, and/or selectable graphical user interface object) (in some embodiments, the user interface object is overlaid on the system user interface.), including: in accordance with a determination that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient is in a first state (e.g., 600 in <figref idref="f0108">FIG. 21B</figref>), the computer system displays (2210) the user interface object corresponding to the communication with a first appearance (e.g., 2106 in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>, a first visual appearance, text, graphic, image, icon, color, font, highlighting, and/or animation; an appearance that indicates the first state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient); and in accordance with a determination that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient is in a second state (e.g., 600 in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21F</figref>) different from the first state, the computer system displays (2212) the user interface object corresponding to the communication with a second appearance (e.g., 2106 in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref>, a second visual appearance, text, graphic, image, icon, color, font, highlighting, and/or animation; an appearance that indicates the second state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient) that is different from the first appearance (e.g., the appearance of the user interface object is based on the current state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient). In some embodiments, the user interface object corresponding to the communication is displayed concurrently with (or overlaid on) a user interface for an application other than the application that is used to generate, compose, and/or send the communication, instead of or in addition to being displayed concurrently with the system user interface. Displaying the system user interface and the user interface object corresponding to the communication, where the appearance of the user interface object is based on the state of the process for sending the communication provides the user with information about the state of the process and enables the user to interact with the process (e.g., align the computer system with a satellite, send a message, and/or view a received message) with fewer errors while the system user interface is displayed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input. Displaying the system user interface and the user interface object corresponding to the communication, where the appearance of the user interface object is based on the state of the process for sending the communication allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while performing the process for sending the communication via the alternative communication network (e.g., generating the communication and/or connecting to the alternative communication network) and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0717In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient includes displaying a set of one or more user interfaces (e.g., 602M, 602N, 602O, 602P, 602Q, 602R, 602S, 602T, 602U, 602V, and/or 602W) for generating the communication (e.g., generating content of the communication); detecting the set of one or more inputs (e.g., 2150b and/or 2150c) corresponding to the request to display the system user interface occurs while displaying the set of one or more user interfaces for generating the communication; and the appearance of the user interface object corresponding to the communication indicates that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient is in a state of displaying the set of one or more user interfaces for generating the communication (e.g., 2106 in <figref idref="f0109">FIG. 21C</figref>). In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient includes displaying a set of selectable communication-content options corresponding to respective content for the communication. In some embodiments, the set of selectable communication-content options are specific to a mode for communicating via the alternative communication network (e.g., a low-bandwidth communication mode). In some embodiments, the set of one or more user interface for generating the communication includes the user interfaces, options, and/or operations described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref> and/or method 800. Displaying a user interface for generating the communication enables the computer system to provide options that are optimal (e.g., require limited bandwidth) for the communication, to reduce the number of inputs required to generate the communication (e.g., without using a keyboard), and to guide a user through the process for generating the communication, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls. Indicating that the process is in a state of displaying user interfaces for generating the communication allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while generating the communication and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0718In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient includes displaying a prompt (e.g., a notification, a banner, text, a graphical element, audio, and/or instructions; and/or 908C, 908D, 908E, 908F, 908G, 908H, 908I, 908J, 908O, 90801, 908P, 909, 926, and/or 931) for a user to take an action to connect to (or, in some embodiments, to remain connected to) an alternative communication network via which the communication is to be sent; detecting the set of one or more inputs (e.g., 2150g and/or 2150h) corresponding to the request to display the system user interface occurs while displaying the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network; and the appearance of the user interface object corresponding to the communication indicates that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient is in a state of displaying the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network (e.g., 2106 in <figref idref="f0111">FIGS. 21G</figref>, <figref idref="f0112">21H, 21I</figref>, <figref idref="f0113">21J, or 21K</figref>). In some embodiments, the user interface object corresponding to the communication includes graphical element 931 and/or the content of textual element 908C, 908D, 908E, 908F, 908G, 908H, 908I, 908J, 908O, 90801, or 908P, depending on the state of the alignment and/or connection between the computer system and the alternative communication network. In some embodiments, the user interface object corresponding to the communication is (or includes the content of) banner 926 in <figref idref="f0038">FIGS. 9K, 9L</figref>, <figref idref="f0040">9M, or 9M1</figref>, depending on the state of the alignment and/or connection between the computer system and the alternative communication network. In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient includes the user interfaces and/or features described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044">FIGS. 9C-9Q</figref> and method 1000. In some embodiments, the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network includes instructions to move and/or position at least a portion of the computer system in a particular direction or location (e.g., turn left, point up, and/or move outside). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the prompt for a user to take an action to connect to the alternative communication network in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not connected to the alternative communication network (e.g., is not properly aligned for communication with one or more satellites of the alternative communication network). In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient includes displaying an indication of a status of a connection between the compute system and the alternative communication network (e.g., not connected, poor connection, trying to connect, connecting, and/or connected). Displaying a prompt for a user to take an action to connect to an alternative communication network (e.g., providing connection assistance) allows the user to resolve issues (e.g., misalignment and/or obstruction) that prevent the computer system from connecting to the alternative communication network quickly and efficiently with fewer inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Displaying a prompt for a user to take an action to connect to an alternative communication network (e.g., providing connection assistance) allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while connecting to the alternative communication network and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0719In some embodiments, displaying the user interface object corresponding to the communication includes displaying the user interface object with an appearance that is based on a status (e.g., sending, sent, receiving, or waiting to receive) of the communication (e.g., 2106c in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21H</figref> includes a partially filled message progress ring; 2106c in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21I</figref> includes a completely filled message progress ring). In some embodiments, the first state is a first message status and the first appearance indicates the first message status (e.g., "sending"); and the second state is a second message status and the second appearance indicates the second message status (e.g., "receiving"). Displaying the user interface object with an appearance that is based on a status of the communication provides the user with information about the progress of the communication and enables the user to interact with the process with fewer errors while the system user interface is displayed, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Displaying the user interface object with an appearance that is based on a status of the communication allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while monitoring the status of the communication and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0720In some embodiments, the system user interface is a displayed user interface (e.g., 2108, 1304, 1506B, 1514A, user interface 400, a home screen, and/or an application springboard) that includes user interface objects corresponding to respective applications that, when activated, causes the computer system to display the respective application corresponding to the activated user interface object. Displaying the user interface object and a user interface that includes user interface objects corresponding to respective applications provides the user with access to other applications, allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while monitoring the status of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient, and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0721In some embodiments, the system user interface is a wake screen user interface (e.g., 2102, 1110, 1344A, 1524B, a wake screen and/or a lock screen) that the computer system displays when coming out of an inactive state (e.g., a low-power state, a sleep state, and/or a dimmed state). Displaying the user interface object and a user interface that the computer system displays when coming out of an inactive state provides the user with the status of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient immediately when the computer system comes out of an inactive state and enables the user to interact with the process more efficiently (e.g., without manually requesting the status of the process) and/or with fewer errors, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0722In some embodiments, the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient includes a first sub-process for generating (e.g., composing) the communication (e.g., the first sub-process includes user interfaces (such as 602M, 602N, 602O, 602P, 602Q, 602R, 602S, 602T, 602U, 602V, and/or 602W), options, and/or operations described in <figref idref="f0017 f0018 f0019 f0020 f0021 f0022 f0023 f0024 f0025 f0026">FIGS. 6M-6Y</figref> and/or method 800) and a second sub-process for connecting to a communication network (e.g., the second sub-process includes the user interfaces (such as 2110, 902C, 902D, 902E, 902F, 902G, 902H, 902I, 902J, 902O, 90201, or 902P, ) and/or features described in <figref idref="f0030 f0031 f0032 f0033 f0034 f0035 f0036 f0037 f0038 f0039 f0040 f0041 f0042 f0043 f0044">FIGS. 9C-9Q</figref> and method 1000). Performing a first sub-process process for generating the communication enables the computer system to provide options that are optimal (e.g., require limited bandwidth) for the communication, to reduce the number of inputs required to generate the communication (e.g., without using a keyboard), and to guide a user through the process for generating the communication, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls. Performing a second sub-process for connecting to a communication network enables the computer system to provide user interfaces that allows the user to resolve issues (e.g., misalignment and/or obstruction) that prevent the computer system from connecting to the communication network quickly and efficiently with fewer inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation.

0723In some embodiments, displaying the system user interface and the user interface object corresponding to the communication includes concurrently displaying the system user interface (e.g., 2102, 1110, 1344A, or 1524B) and the user interface object corresponding to the communication (e.g., the computer system displays the user interface object corresponding to the communication in (or overlaid on) the system user interface), and: while concurrently displaying the system user interface and the user interface object corresponding to the communication, the computer system detects a set of one or more inputs (e.g., 2150d) corresponding to a request to display a second system user interface that is different from the system user interface; and in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to display a second system user interface, the computer system concurrently displays the second system user interface (e.g., 2108, 1304, 1506B, or 1514A) and the user interface object corresponding to the communication (e.g., the computer system displays the user interface object corresponding to the communication in the second system user interface; and/or the computer system maintains display of the user interface object corresponding to the communication when the system user interface is changed). In some embodiments, the system user interface and/or the second system user interface is a wake screen, a home screen, a lock screen, and/or a user interface that includes two or more notifications. Displaying the user interface object with multiple different system user interfaces allows the computer system to be used for other purposes and optimizes use of limited space on a display while enabling the user to monitor the status of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient and to interact with the process more efficiently (e.g., with fewer user inputs) while navigating different user interfaces, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0724In some embodiments, after displaying the user interface object corresponding to the communication with a third appearance (e.g., the first appearance or the second appearance) (e.g., in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to display a system user interface): in accordance with a determination that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient has changed state (e.g., in response to detecting a change in the state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient), the computer system displays the user interface object corresponding to the communication with a fourth appearance that is different from the third appearance, wherein the fourth appearance provides information about the changed state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient (e.g., the computer system changes and/or updates the appearance of the user interface object corresponding to the communication over time as the state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient changes). For example, user interface object 2106 changes appearance from <figref idref="f0111 f0112">FIG. 21G to FIG. 21H</figref>, from <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21H to FIG. 21I</figref>, from <figref idref="f0112 f0113">FIG. 21I to FIG. 21J</figref>, and from <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21J to FIG. 21K</figref>. Changing the appearance of the user interface object in response to a determination that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient has changed state allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while providing the user with up-to-date information about the status of the process, allows the user to interact with the process more efficiently (e.g., with fewer user inputs), and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, and performs an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

0725In some embodiments, the determination that the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient has changed state includes a determination that a connection status (e.g., not connected, poor connection, trying to connect, connecting, and/or connected) (and/or, in some embodiments, an alignment status) of the computer system with an alternative communication network (e.g., a non-terrestrial wireless communication network, such as a satellite communication network) via which the communication is to be sent has changed from a first connection status to a second connection status (e.g., from not connected in <figref idref="f0111">FIG. 21G</figref> to connecting in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21H</figref>, from connecting in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21H</figref> to connected in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21I</figref>, from connected in <figref idref="f0112">FIG. 21I</figref> to service unavailable in <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21J</figref>, and from service unavailable in <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21J</figref> to connected in <figref idref="f0113">FIG. 21K</figref>); displaying the user interface object corresponding to the communication with the third appearance includes displaying, in the user interface object corresponding to the communication, a prompt (e.g., 2106b, 2106c, a notification, a banner, text, a graphical element, audio, and/or instructions) for a user to take a first action to connect to (or, in some embodiments, to remain connected to) the alternative communication network based on the first connection status; and displaying the user interface object corresponding to the communication with the fourth appearance includes displaying, in the user interface object corresponding to the communication, a prompt (e.g., 2106b, 2106c, a notification, a banner, text, a graphical element, audio, and/or instructions) for a user to take a second action, different from the first action, to connect to (or, in some embodiments, to remain connected to) the alternative communication network based on the second connection status (e.g., 2106b and/or 2106c vary in <figref idref="f0111 f0112 f0113">FIGS. 21G-21K</figref> based on the connection status of computer system 600). Displaying a prompt for a user to take and action to connect to an alternative communication network based on a connection status of the computer system with the alternative communication network enables the user to resolve issues (e.g., misalignment and/or obstruction) that prevent the computer system from connecting to the alternative communication network quickly and efficiently with fewer inputs, which provides improved visual feedback and reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation. Displaying a prompt for a user to take and action to connect to an alternative communication network based on a connection status of the computer system with the alternative communication network allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while connecting to the alternative communication network and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0726In some embodiments, while displaying the user interface object corresponding to the communication, the computer system displays an indication (e.g., 2114, a notification, graphical indication, icon, color, font, text, animation, symbol, thumbnail, image, and/or glyph) of a message received from the respective recipient. Displaying an indication of the message received from the respective recipient notifies the user about the received message, optimizes use of limited space on a display, and allows the user to monitor incoming messages and the status of the process, and to interact with the process more efficiently (e.g., with fewer user inputs), while displaying the system user interface, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0727In some embodiments, displaying the indication of the message received from the respective recipient includes displaying the indication of the message received from the respective recipient with an appearance that is based on content (e.g., text and/or images) of the message received from the respective recipient (e.g., the content of 2114 is based on (and/or includes) the content of 2116c). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the message from the respective recipient includes first content, the computer system displays the indication with a first appearance (e.g., the first content of the message); and in accordance with a determination that the message from the respective recipient includes second content that is different from the first content, the computer system displays the indication with a second appearance (e.g., the second content of the message) that is different from the first appearance of the indication. Displaying the indication of the message received from the respective recipient with an appearance that is based on content of the message received from the respective recipient allows the computer system to be used for other purposes while providing the user with information about the content of the message, enables the user to interact with the process more efficiently (e.g., with fewer user inputs), and optimizes use of limited space on a display, which provides improved visual feedback to the user, reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0728In some embodiments, the computer system detects a selection (e.g., 2150e or 2150f) of the user interface object corresponding to the communication (e.g., a tap or other touch input on the user interface object corresponding to the communication, a press of a button while the user interface object corresponding to the communication is designated and/or in focus, and/or a voice command to select the user interface object corresponding to the communication); and in response to detecting the selection of the user interface object corresponding to the communication, the computer system displays a user interface (e.g., 602M, 602N, 602O, 602P, 602Q, 602R, 602S, 602T, 602U, 602V, 602W, 902C, 902D, 902E, 902F, 902G, 902H, 902I, 902J, 902K, 902L, 902M, 902O, 90201, or 902P, based on the state of the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient via the alternative communication network) that provides more detailed information about the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient via the alternative communication network (e.g., information about the status of sending and/or receiving communications, options for sending and/or receiving communications, and/or controls for performing operations associated with sending and/or receiving communications). For example, in response to selection of 2106 in <figref idref="f0111">FIGS. 21G</figref>, <figref idref="f0112">21H</figref>, <figref idref="f0112">21I</figref>, <figref idref="f0113">21J, or 21K</figref>, computer system 600 displays user interface 2110 in the state corresponding to the state of 2106 at the time of selection. Displaying a user interface that provides more detailed information about the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient via the alternative communication network in response to detecting the selection of the user interface object corresponding to the communication provides an quick and efficient method for accessing and/or interacting with the process for sending the communication to the respective recipient, which reduces the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, enables the user to operate the computer system more quickly and efficiently, reduces power usage, and improves battery life.

0729Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2200 (e.g., <figref idref="f0115">FIG. 22</figref>) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, and/or 2000 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 2200. For example, method 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, and/or 2000 can be the process corresponding to the user interface object in method 2200. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

0730The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

0731Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.

0732As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources provide efficient methods and interfaces for managing communications. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, social network IDs, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.

0733The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to deliver suggested content and emergency information that is of greater use to the user. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables users to have more efficient emergency user interfaces with relevant emergency information and suggested recipients. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.

0734The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.

0735Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of managing communications, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to "opt in" or "opt out" of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In another example, users can select not to provide emergency data for targeted content delivery services. In yet another example, users can select to limit the length of time emergency-associated data is maintained or entirely prohibit the development of a baseline emergency profile. In addition to providing "opt in" and "opt out" options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.

0736Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.

0737Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, emergency information and suggested recipients can be selected and delivered to users by interring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the emergency services, or publicly available information.
