1. A computer system configured to be in communication with one or more input devices, one or more output devices, and a first external electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors;
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first request to perform a respective operation; and
in response to receiving the first request:
in accordance with a determination that the first request is a request to access first content associated with a first user account associated with the computer system, and a determination that a first set of notification criteria are met and a first set of request criteria are met, wherein the first set of request criteria includes a first criterion that is met when the computer system is enabled to output content associated with a respective user account:
performing a first operation including outputting a first representation of data that includes the first content associated with the first user account via a first output device of the one or more output devices; and
initiating a process to display a notification on the first external electronic device, wherein the notification includes an indication that the respective operation was performed;
in accordance with a determination that the first request is a request to access second content associated with a second user account associated with the computer system, and a determination that the first set of notification criteria are met and the first set of request criteria are met:
performing a second operation including outputting a second representation of data that includes the second content associated with the second user account via the first output device of the one or more output devices; and
initiating the process to display the notification;
in accordance with a determination that the first request is the request to access first content associated with the first user account associated with the computer system, and a determination that a first set of notification criteria are met and the first set of request criteria are not met:
performing a third operation including outputting a third representation of data that does not include the first content associated with the first user account via a first output device of the one or more output devices; and
initiating a process to display a notification on the first external electronic device; and
in accordance with a determination that the first request is a request to access third content, different from the first content and the second content, that is not associated with the first user account or the second user account associated with the computer system, performing a fourth operation, different from the first operation and the second operation, including outputting the third content via the same first output device without initiating the process to display the notification, wherein performing the third operation includes outputting a representation of the third content that is non-variable for different users associated with the request.
