1. A method comprising:
at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display:
displaying, by the electronic device, on the touch-sensitive display, a user interface of a first software application;
while displaying the user interface of the first software application, detecting, by the electronic device, one or more first touch inputs on a region of the touch-sensitive display that includes the user interface of the first software application; and
in response to detecting the one or more first touch inputs:
in accordance with a determination that the one or more first touch inputs correspond to a system gesture for switching applications, replacing, by the electronic device, display of the user interface of the first software application with display of a user interface of a second software application without delivering information corresponding to the one or more first touch inputs to the first software application, wherein the second software application is different from the first software application; and
in accordance with a determination that the one or more first touch inputs do not correspond to a system gesture, delivering, by the electronic device, the information corresponding to the one or more first touch inputs to the first software application.
