1. A method comprising:
at an electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, including a hand tracking device:
displaying, via the display generation component, a three-dimensional environment that includes a representation of first content, a representation of a first user, other than a user of the electronic device, and a representation of a second user, other than the user of the electronic device and different from the first user, wherein the first content is not accessible to the first user or to the second user;
while displaying the three-dimensional environment, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first input including movement of the representation of first content in the three-dimensional environment; and
in response to detecting the first input:
in accordance with a determination that the first input satisfies one or more criteria, the one or more criteria including that the first input includes movement of the representation of first content toward the representation of the first user in the three-dimensional environment, initiating a process to make the first content accessible to the first user in the three-dimensional environment but not to the second user in the three-dimensional environment.
