33 Claims

1. A method, comprising:

at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, wherein the electronic device is in communication with a display and an audio system:

while a user interface that includes a set of one or more affordances is displayed on the display:

detecting, at a first point in time, a first input directed to a first affordance in the set of one or more affordances;

in response to detecting the first input directed to the first affordance, initiating providing, to the audio system, first sound information to present a first audio output that corresponds to the first affordance, wherein the first audio output has a first audio profile that governs a change in one or more respective audio characteristics of the first audio output over time;

while continuing to provide the first sound information in response to the first input, detecting, at a second point in time that is after the first point in time, a second input directed to a second affordance in the set of one or more affordances; and

in response to detecting the second input directed to the second affordance:

while continuing to provide the first sound information in response to the first input and in accordance with a determination that audio alteration criteria are satisfied:

causing the audio system to present altered first audio output that corresponds to the first affordance, instead of continuing to present the first audio output with the first audio profile, wherein the altered first audio output has an altered audio profile that is distinct from the first audio profile, wherein having the altered audio profile includes changing the one or more respective audio characteristics of the first audio output over time in a different manner than the one or more respective audio characteristics of the first audio output would have been changed over time if the first audio profile were to have been used; and

providing, to the audio system, second sound information to present a second audio output that corresponds to the second affordance, wherein the second audio output has a second audio profile that governs a change in one or more respective audio characteristics of the second audio output over time; and

in accordance with a determination that the audio alteration criteria are not satisfied:

causing the audio system to continue presenting the first audio output that corresponds to the first affordance and that has the first audio profile; and

providing, to the audio system, third sound information to present a third audio output that corresponds to the second affordance, wherein the third audio output has a third audio profile that governs a change in one or more respective audio characteristics of the third audio output over time.
