1. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a wrist-wearable device, cause the wrist-wearable device to perform or cause performance of:
displaying, on a display of a wrist-wearable device that includes at least a first messaging application and a second messaging application distinct from the first messaging application, a watch-face user interface (UI);
while displaying the watch-face UI, detecting a single input from a user wearing the wrist-wearable device, the single input corresponding to a request from the user to activate a communications-hub mode, the communications-hub mode providing access to two or more of an aggregated messaging UI, an aggregated call log UI, and an aggregated contacts UI, each including data from both of the first messaging application and the second messaging application; and
in response to detecting the single input corresponding to the request from the user to activate the communications-hub mode:
ceasing to display the watch-face UI, and
displaying, on the display of the wrist-wearable device, the aggregated messaging UI, wherein displaying the aggregated messaging UI includes (i) a first UI element that includes at least part of a first message received via the first messaging application and (ii) a second UI element that includes at least part of a second message received via the second messaging application.
