Abstract

A device with a touch sensitive display and a plurality of applications, including a camera application, while the device is in a locked, passcode-protected state: displays a lock screen interface, the lock screen interface including a camera access indicia; detects a gesture; in response to a determination that the gesture starts on the camera access indicia: ceases to display the lock screen interface; starts a restricted session for the camera application; displays an interface for the camera application, without displaying a passcode entry interface; and maintains the device in the locked, passcode-protected state for the applications other than the camera application; and in response to a determination that the gesture starts at a location other than the camera access indicia: displays a passcode entry interface, wherein in response to entry of a correct passcode in the passcode entry interface, the device enters an unlocked state.

ceasing to display the first locked device interface page;

displaying an interface for a camera application in a restricted session, wherein at least a first function of the camera application is enabled while the camera application is in the restricted session and at least a second function of the camera application is disabled while the camera application is in the restricted session; and

maintaining the device in the locked state for applications in the device other than the camera application;

in accordance with a determination that the device is in the second locked state and in accordance with a determination that the gesture that was detected while displaying the first locked device interface page includes movement in the first direction:

ceasing to display the first locked device interface page; and

displaying the interface for the camera application in an unrestricted session, wherein the first function and the second function of the camera application are both enabled while the camera application is in the unrestricted session; and

in accordance with a determination that the gesture that was detected while displaying the first locked device interface page includes movement in a second direction opposite to the first direction:

displaying a second locked device interface page different from the first locked device interface page.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the second locked device interface page includes media playback controls.
