1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display device;
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:
detecting, while connected to an external device, an indication that a physical proximity between the electronic device and the external device satisfies a proximity condition, wherein the physical proximity satisfies the proximity condition when the electronic device is within a first distance from the external device;
in response to detecting the indication that the physical proximity satisfies the proximity condition, displaying, via the display device, a first media information affordance representing a first media item that is currently playing on the external device, the first media information affordance including a first set of information about the first media item;
receiving a first input representing selection of the first media information affordance;
in response to receiving the first input:
in accordance with a determination that the first input is a first type of input, initiating playback of the first media item on the electronic device; and
in accordance with a determination that the first input is a second type of input different from the first type of input, displaying, via the display device, a second media information affordance representing the first media item, the second media information affordance different from the first media information affordance and including a second set of information about the first media item; and
after displaying the first media information affordance:
in accordance with a determination that a distance between the electronic device and the external device is between the first distance and a second distance from the external device that is greater than the first distance, continuing to display, via the display device, the first media information affordance; and
in accordance with a determination that the distance between the electronic device and the external device is greater than the second distance, ceasing to display, via the display device, the first media information affordance.
