Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to managing user interfaces associated with physical activities. The user interface displays a scrollable list of affordances associated with physical activities. The affordances may contain physical activity and heart rate information. A user can launch a physical activity tracking function or an interface to change a workout metric using an affordance. Users can also control the music that is played in response to selecting a workout. Further, the interface can be used to compose a reply message to a received message that contains workout information. The interfaces can show a graph that includes heart data when the user's heart rate meets a heart rate alert criteria.

Claims (75)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying a user interface of a workout application that includes a scrollable list of affordances associated with a plurality of physical activities, the plurality of physical activities including a first physical activity and a second physical activity;

receiving a user input directed at an affordance of the scrollable list of affordances; and

in response to receiving the user input directed at the affordance:

launching a physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance;

determining whether a workout audio playlist setting is enabled or disabled, wherein the workout audio playlist setting is a single setting that controls playing audio when launching a first physical activity tracking function associated with the first physical activity and a second physical activity tracking function associated with the second physical activity;

in accordance with a determination that the workout audio playlist setting is enabled, initiate playing a workout audio playlist on the electronic device; and

in accordance with a determination that the workout audio playlist setting is disabled, forgo playing the workout audio playlist on the electronic device.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while the physical activity tracking function is running, receiving user input corresponding to a request to display an audio application control user interface; and

in response to the user input, displaying the audio application control user interface of an audio application playing the workout audio playlist.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

prior to receiving the user input, receiving, from an external device, a setting of the workout audio playlist setting.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the setting of the workout audio playlist corresponds to a user-selected setting at the external device.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the setting of the workout audio playlist corresponds to a default setting at the external device.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:

the scrollable list of affordances associated with the plurality of physical activities is displayed while an audio application is playing audio content;

the user input directed at the affordance of the scrollable list of affordances is received while the audio application is playing the audio content; and

the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in response to receiving the user input directed at the affordance and in accordance with the determination that the workout audio playlist setting is enabled, stop playing the audio content; and

in response to receiving the user input directed at the affordance and in accordance with the determination that the workout audio playlist setting is disabled, continue playing the audio content on the electronic device.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in response to receiving the user input directed at the affordance:

displaying a user interface including a plurality of metrics tracked by the physical activity tracking function.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying a user interface of a workout application that includes a scrollable list of affordances associated with a plurality of physical activities, the plurality of physical activities including a first physical activity and a second physical activity;

receiving a user input directed at an affordance of the scrollable list of affordances; and

in response to receiving the user input directed at the affordance:

launching a physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance;

determining whether a workout audio playlist setting is enabled or disabled, wherein the workout audio playlist setting is a single setting that controls playing audio when launching a first physical activity tracking function associated with the first physical activity and a second physical activity tracking function associated with the second physical activity;

in accordance with a determination that the workout audio playlist setting is enabled, initiate playing a workout audio playlist on the electronic device; and

in accordance with a determination that the workout audio playlist setting is disabled, forgo playing the workout audio playlist on the electronic device.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while the physical activity tracking function is running, receiving user input corresponding to a request to display an audio application control user interface; and

in response to the user input, displaying the audio application control user interface of an audio application playing the workout audio playlist.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

prior to receiving the user input, receiving, from an external device, a setting of the workout audio playlist setting.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the setting of the workout audio playlist corresponds to a user-selected setting at the external device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the setting of the workout audio playlist corresponds to a default setting at the external device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein:

the scrollable list of affordances associated with the plurality of physical activities is displayed while an audio application is playing audio content;
