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:
operating the electronic device in a first mode; and
while operating the electronic device in the first mode, wherein the first mode is a restricted mode in which a respective set of one or more functions are not accessible while in the first mode:
displaying, via the display device, a user interface of a respective type of user interface, wherein the respective type of user interface is a watch face that includes an indication of time;
detecting a first sequence of one or more inputs corresponding to a first request to exit the first mode, the first sequence of one or more inputs including at least one input that is detected while displaying the user interface of the respective type of user interface;
in response to detecting at least one of the inputs in the first sequence of one or more inputs including the at least one input that is detected while displaying the user interface of the respective type of user interface and prior to ceasing to operate the electronic device in the first mode, presenting a first alert indicating that first information will be reported to another user, wherein the first information indicates that the electronic device has exited the first mode; and
after presenting the first alert, detecting a second sequence of one or more inputs; and
in response to detecting the second sequence of one or more inputs and in accordance with a determination that the second sequence of one or more inputs corresponds to a third request to exit the first mode:
ceasing, at a first time, to operate the electronic device in the first mode; and
operating the electronic device in a second mode, wherein the respective set of one or more functions are accessible while in the second mode; and
while the electronic device operates in the second mode for a period of time until a set of criteria is satisfied:
in accordance with a determination that the set of criteria is satisfied, wherein the set of criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when input is not detected within a predetermined amount of time:
ceasing to operate the electronic device in the second mode;
operating the electronic device in the first mode; and
automatically displaying the user interface of the respective type of user interface, wherein:
at least one input of a third sequence of one or more inputs corresponding to a third request to exit the first mode is detected while displaying the user interface of the respective type of user interface;
a second alert indicating that second information will be reported to another user is presented in response to detecting the at least one of the inputs in the third sequence of one or more inputs, wherein the second information indicates that the electronic device has exited the first mode; and
the second alert is presented prior to ceasing, at a second time that is different from the first time, to operate the electronic device in the first mode; and
in accordance with a determination that the set of criteria is not satisfied:
maintaining operation of the electronic device in the second mode.
