1. A method, comprising:
displaying, on a display of a wrist-wearable device, a watch-face user interface including a plurality of representations of contacts, including:
a first representation of a first contact associated with an image-sharing application, and
a second representation of a second contact associated with a fitness application that allows a user of the wrist-wearable device to compare performance of a physical activity against at least the second contact, the fitness application being distinct from the image-sharing application;
responsive to occurrence of a first user input selecting the first representation of the first contact from within the watch-face user interface and while data from an imaging device is not displayed to the user:
ceasing to display the watch-face user interface and the plurality of representations of contacts, and
causing activation of an imaging device for capturing an image of the physical world using the imaging device; and
while the imaging device is activated and responsive to occurrence of a second user input:
capturing an image using the imaging device, and
after capturing the image using the imaging device, causing the image to be sent to the first contact via the image-sharing application.
