1. A computer system configured to communicate with a display generation component and an input device, comprising:
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:
while an audio channel is open to send audio messages from the computer system and to receive audio messages at the computer system:
displaying, via the display generation component, a system user interface that is generated by system software;
while displaying the system user interface detecting, via the input device, a first input;
in response to detecting the first input, displaying, via the display generation component, an audio channel management user interface that is generated by the system software, wherein the audio channel management user interface includes a first selectable option that, when selected, causes the computer system to perform a first type of operation associated with the audio channel;
while displaying the audio channel management user interface, detecting a second input directed to the first selectable option; and
in response to detecting the second input, performing a first operation of the first type of operation associated with the audio channel, including:
in accordance with a determination that the audio channel is being managed by a first application, the first operation of the first type is associated with the first application; and
in accordance with a determination that the audio channel is being managed by a second application that is different from the first application, the first operation of the first type is associated with the second application.
