1. A method, comprising:
at a device in communication with a display generation component and one or more first sensors for detecting location of an input object:
displaying via the display generation component, in a first user interface, a plurality of user interface objects that includes at least a first user interface object;
while displaying the plurality of user interface objects, detecting the input object at a first hover location that corresponds to the first user interface object and that meets first hover proximity criteria with respect to the first user interface object;
after detecting the input object at the first hover location that corresponds to the first user interface object and that meets the first hover proximity criteria with respect to the first user interface object, detecting movement of the input object away from the first hover location;
in response to detecting movement of the input object away from the first hover location:
in accordance with a determination that the input object meets first augmented hover proximity criteria, wherein the first augmented hover proximity criteria require that the input object had met the first hover proximity criteria, and an additional requirement that augments the first hover proximity criteria and requires that the input object continued to meet the first hover proximity criteria for more than a predetermined amount of time with less than a threshold amount of lateral movement before the input object moved away from the first hover location, performing a first operation associated with the movement of the input object; and
in accordance with a determination that the input object does not meet the first augmented hover proximity criteria, forgoing performing the first operation.
