Description

USER INTERFACES AND TECHNIQUES FOR RESPONDING TO NOTIFICATIONS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/541,844, filed September 30, 2023, to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/541,845, entitled filed September 30, 2023, and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/541,824, filed September 30, 2023, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties for all purposes. BACKGROUND [0002] Users often use communication applications stored on a computer system to communicate with others. Such communication applications often provide images of the user via the communication applications. [0003] Computer systems are often used to research steps for various processes. Such processes can include recipes, proper workout form, and/or self-improvement. [0004] Users often use computer systems to share content. Such content can be shared and generated across multiple computer systems. SUMMARY [0005] Existing techniques for moving a computer system based on a notification using electronic devices 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. Some existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices. [0006] Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods for various operations. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods. 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. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for the same operation. [0007] In some embodiments, a method that is performed at a computer system that is in communication with a movement component is described. In some embodiments, the method comprises: while the computer system is at a first position in an environment, receiving a notification corresponding to a first user; and in response to receiving the notification corresponding to the first user, moving, via the movement component, a portion of the computer system to a second position, different from the first position, in the environment, wherein the second position corresponds to a location of the first user in the environment. [0008] In some embodiments, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a movement component is described. In some embodiments, the one or more programs includes instructions for: while the computer system is at a first position in an environment, receiving a notification corresponding to a first user; and in response to receiving the notification corresponding to the first user, moving, via the movement component, a portion of the computer system to a second position, different from the first position, in the environment, wherein the second position corresponds to a location of the first user in the environment. [0009] In some embodiments, a transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a movement component is described. In some embodiments, the one or more programs includes instructions for: while the computer system is at a first position in an environment, receiving a notification corresponding to a first user; and in response to receiving the notification corresponding to the first user, moving, via the movement component, a portion of the computer system to a second position, different from the first position, in the environment, wherein the second position corresponds to a location of the first user in the environment. [0010] In some embodiments, a computer system that is in communication with a movement component is described. In some embodiments, the computer system comprises one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors. In some embodiments, the one or more programs includes instructions for: while the computer system is at a first position in an environment, receiving a notification corresponding to a first user; and in response to receiving the notification corresponding to the first user, moving, via the movement component, a portion of the computer system to a second position, different from the first position, in the environment, wherein the second position corresponds to a location of the first user in the environment.
